heavy drinkers make light of the trauma which spinning ,nausea, inebriation, paranoia and disassociation with reality all very real if you are not used to drinking 40% by volume alchohol ore even just 5% by volume beer in sufficient quantities. nothing to do with weed just alcohol there have been many and will be more hospitalizations but not many on here complaining about cannabis are so vocal about alcohol, why is that?

The reason you couldn't get a drink in the afternoon is, that like it or not, its actually the law, however seeing as only the larger supermarkets and 7/11 actually adhere to that policy you weren't really trying very hard were you. The reason that cannabis is available is because the law now permits it. You need to accept it

this is a fine example of the benefits of "profiling" I would think it is standard practice to X-ray anybody coming here from Addis Ababa whilst the rest of the less suspicious tourists can pass through customs relatively quickly. Compare this to the UK for example where "profiling" is considered inappropriate and not allowed (officially) So everybody gets checked resulting in huge queues and missed flights. Despite the fact that ... well I'm not going to say it but you all know what I mean

Hi I wouldn't worry too much, especially If Ubon Joe has heard nothing. To be honest the guy who passed the info on to me is here on marriage extensions and won't have applied for a covid extension himself. He's not a rumour monger either but would have received his info from a third party who may have got confused, for example applying for his 60 day covid extension prior to applying for his 30 "standard " extension. I don't seem to be able to contact him today to ask the details. I'll post on here tomorrow when I get back but I'm in Surin so any info I have may not be relevant to Bangkok immigration procedeures

Or maybe no drugs....no tourists

Excellent post I'd go with the traditional personally good price too ! could you give a location?

As if lol

For once a somewhat positive post regarding the relaxation of the ridiculous politically motivated prohibition of cannabis. However it was predictably hi-jacked by the very vocal and badly informed self appointed anti cannabis "community" If you don't like it just stay away from it and leave the rest of us to enjoy it in peace. Its legal now so you are just going to have to get over it as there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Far more constructive advice would be, if trying it for the first time take things easy, perhaps speak to an experienced smoker (there's plenty on here who I am sure would be willing to give advice) Personally I would recommend staying away from edibles at first as its difficult to judge intake. and just bear in mind that if trying alcohol for the first time it probably wouldn't be wise to start off by consuming a full bottle of scotch would it.

What testing requirements? Stop giving them Ideas

Thanks for the comment, it makes me feel a bit more confident, 30 days would be a pain as I already changed my flight ! If they tell me anything different tomorrow I will post it on here

i Will be going to immigration tomorrow to request a covid extension, however last night a friend emailed me saying he had heard that as from 22nd of june (this wednesday) the rules will be changing and they may only be giving a 30 day extension. I can't find anything to substantiate this and have not been able to contact him to ask where he heard it. I was wondering if anybody else has heard anything about this possibility.

I still don't understand why people who obviously don't partake insist on posting negative comments on a subject they know very little or nothing about. Posting a link to a tree hugging acupuncturist doesn't really validate anything that you allege

drugs in the uk are classed as A, B, C not 1,2,3 etc cannabis is class b it was once reduced to class c then it was upgraded to class b again

somewhat misleading title, drug smuggling mules are not really tourists

29 - 30k !!!! were on earth do you go ?

Fear is a powerful tool when used by the authorities to control the masses, unfortunately as we have seen some people as so susceptible to it that they start to echo the authorities and do their work for them . An example is one guy on here telling us to obey the law

thinking about it, I guess the way they see it is, that not wearing a helmet may possibly result in a small fine at a certain time / location whereas not masking up will result in dirty looks from their peers ( and possibly endanger their lives and the lives of others according to some lol)

Absolutely correct , a similar thing has happened already in most of the west where people are required to wear Hi-viz vests to denote there working class status The reason for this is ostensibly for "health and safety" reasons which is something that can NEVER be questioned. Many years ago working class people would wear a "working mans" cap which was subtlety different from a country gentleman's cap. Somethings never change

Good point , lol but they weren't doing it before covid were they ? maybe they hadn't figured it out

This website was subjecting posters to suspensions and bans if they posted anything that they considered controversial regarding Covid 19, and yet they feel justified in repeating this kind of rubbish. What purpose does it serve other than to fan the flames of "reefer madness" hysteria ! Is there one journalist or member of mainstream media anywhere with anything positive to say on this subject ? I can't help noticing that the views expressed by the media are completely at odds to the views of the majority of the general public, but seem to echo the views of a very vocal but misinformed minority. Why is that ?

I Have to look on in bemused amazement when I see a family of 5 on a motorbike all wearing masks, but none wearing helmets, It kind of puts things into perspective don't you think ?

I cannot agree that wearing a mask outside will save anybody's life especially at this stage in the "pandemic"

why would you smoke that ? Its all legal now

another attempt at raising hysteria, do these journalists really have nothing better to do

I get your point, but on the other hand, could you imagine an expert marksman who had never fired a gun? Or an expert driver who had never sat in a car ? or an expert cook who had never been in a kitchen? or an expert fisherman who has never held a rod . Sometimes first hand experience is necessary to be considered an expert. The "experts" that will emerge over the coming weeks will mostly be nothing more than sensationalist scaremongers, reading from an old script, on a mission to stop people enjoying cannabis recreationally and to feed the media frenzy. If just one of these so called experts offered some practical advice, for example, to somebody thinking about smoking for the first time, I might change my mind but that's not going to happen Its going to be, as I said in my post, the same old rhetoric. Overdose (lol) blah blah Paranoia blah blah palpitations blah blah gateway drug blah blah with the underlying message being " don't do it" "just say no" (or if your English "just say no thank you") I wish i was wrong but I watched the news this morning and its already started, and have you noticed how many cannabis related threads have been started on this website by "webfact" as opposed to threads started by members. Prohibition can be ended overnight, but the misinformation that has been forced into peoples brains by various governments over the past 50 years will take a lot longer to forget
