Addiction to cannabis is harder than addiction to alcohol and cigarettes.

From my own experience I can tell that my addiction to cigarettes has been a big problem. Addiction to alcohol was not strong. I have been drinking for many years and could choose to stop for long periods.

About forty years ago I had about a five years period of enthusiastic use of smoking marihuana mixed with tobacco. I was never hooked to marihuana but to the tobacco mixed.

Once stopped smoking tobacco in the mix and after some time also stopped with use of cannabis with no problem.

Then after some years I tried irregular smoking pure marihuana on and off not hooked.

But then once mixed with tobacco that took me back into a strong tobacco addiction for many years and never had an urge to mix with marhuana again.

For many years I was fighting to no avail  stop smoking tobacco and finally stopped tobacco for ten years now without falling back ever again.

Sends out an unjustified fear mongering notice and asks the public not to panic. I thought the majority are vaxxed on what we were told was a 95 percent effective vaccine. Or is this just to look important. Get on with life. 

It's the vaccinated people wearing Mask in trouble....

I never took vaccine, never wearing mask and do not get Covid.

Reports in Ukraine 

Just go and ask immigration office

@drronnie

At Chaeng Wattana Immigration you cannot apply for visa. You can apply for visa at Thai Embassy or Consulate and these are situated in many countries that are outside of Thailand

But in fairness, they do millions of tests and the deaths in the UK have plummeted.

 

You can't stop people getting Covid, you can only stop them dying of it and then learn to live with Covid. Which is what the UK's vaccination process has done.

 

Thailand on the other hand....

I'm not vaccinated and never died yet. 

What's going on... I not see anybody sick neither die. 

Good idea booster jab to be sure... Sinovac + Astra Z. 

And follow up with Pfizer

And wouldn't stop the asymptomatic from spreading the virus around even more, helping to fill even more hospital beds.

 

All in all, Thailand has done OK with regards to the virus.  Just screwed up big time with this Songkran debacle.

Asymptomatics (False Positives) don't spread a virus. 

Do not panic if any patient has no symptoms. 

People die after vaccination in The Netherlands.

Unless they changed things since my last 5 years renewal, I had to go to Immigration to get paperwork from them to renew my drivers license.  When I did not see the fee of 500 Baht on the fee board and they did not want to give me a receipt, I know something was up.  I kept asking for a receipt over and over and made enough noise and after opening the door to the supervisors office, they figured it was best to just give me my money back.  It was a scam and the money was to be split between the Immigration and the big shot where the license was renewed.  I posted this when it happened.

Same to me, but the trouble started at the Road Office(RO). The girl said I must go to immigration for Residence Certificate(RC). I showed my yellow house book to no avail. After half hour at Immigration Office(IO) I was told to show a request letter from the RO. Drive to RO and 90 minutes later return at IO with the request. 

The RC was written within 10 minutes. Then the Officer asked ฿500. With the 500 shown I asked a receipt, answer was: "500". I nodded and said with a smile: "Receipt please". Then RC was checked by the Supervisor and I was ordered to make a copy of some document (what they normally do at their own machine).

Then I got the RC. 

It was too late to go back to RO. 

At home I checked the RC (writen in Thai) with 10 fatal mistakes. 

The next day I got my Driving Permissions for bike & car for almost six years as it was two days after my last birthday. 

The mistakes at the RC where of no importance.... Only paper matters!!!

Wow it seems when Thailand test people, SURPRISINGLY they find cases.
They should have stuck to their strategy: no test, no case...

Many tests MANY False Positive.

What's the panic?......I read the US news....isn't it all just a hoax?

Just that... 

Every year there is seasonal flu with its natural consequences. 

Every day many people pass away from (traffic)accidents, cancer, drugs overdose (alcohol), heart lungs and intestinal problems, obesitas and diabetes, mental (domestic violence & suicide), etc.. 

Don't believe PCRtest (many false positive and false negative). Stay home when have common symptoms and a few days flu. With high temp see a doctor. Just the same as every year before, since time immemorial. 

Vaccin (not for me) is very profitable for the industry, but the short-term effect might not be as you wish, and the long-term is unknown. 

Additives, as well, can be secret with destructive effects (search history).
