Wongkitlo

They did not say if she signed the statement The police just said she admitted knowing it contained drugs but claimed they were not hers.

The police claim she admitted that she knew the parcel contained drugs but that they did not belong to her.

My main point was that it seems unrealistic to me that the Thaii Post will not deliver because an address is too remote. You just quoted the end of the post.The Thai police claim she admitted that she knew the package contained drugs. Now she claims she did not know. One side must be telling the truth and the other not. Personally I find it hard to believe that she was so naive to not know her boyfriend was a drug dealer and she is guilty even though she claims she is innocent.

I still think it is still common for guilty people to claim they are innocent. If I was stuck in a Thai jail would probably do the same, hoping it would keep up attention.

You missed out 'Because accepting a life sentence for importing harmless MDMA for consenting adults after governments just forcibly vaccinated [millions] against their will with experimental cocktails would be bowing to tyrants. I do not bow to tyrants, I kill them'

I struggled through the boyfriends statement. I wonder if he had been taking too much of his 'harmless' ecstasy himself. As far as I could work our he claims he sent the drugs to the restaurant because the place where the intended addressee lived was too remote to receive a package. I just question where in Thailand is too remote to receive mail? I live in a very remote area and there is still regular mail deliveries by motorbike. If it was too remote why could he not pick it up at the post office? I heard everyone in jail os not guilty.

Do they really do much work? After they look at facebook, tictok, line, youtube soap opera is there really much time for customers or work. I am sure have all been in a Thai office/business where most of the staff are sitting around while custoners are queuing.

Im trying really hard to come to terms with it.????

Yes. You are the third person who has posted this.

I am really sorry I have upset you with my lack of bus knowledge. I will try and do better in future.

Yes Jacko45k has already posted that. I dont know why you are sorry?

I wasnt sure of the name but thought they were talkibg about the Jomtien one????

It was definitely open in May. I caught from Jomtien to Swampy. Was quite crowded so I dont believe it would have suddenly closed.

I dont understand why you say I am being pedantic. The initial post was that Thais have been smoking it for centuries for which Coolcarer requested proof. I posted about 17th century Crusoe which he replied with the post you quoted claiming historical use in Thailand was only for food and medicine. I replied that in Chinese 3rd century AD it was written that the Daoists put cannabis in a burner and inhaled the smoke to enjoy the psychoactive properties. I would describe that as recreational use and could not be classed as medicinal or food. He replied that Thailand was not China. My reply that you objected to alluded to the great cultural impact China has had on Thailand which is obvious in the widespread celebration of Chinese New Year. To think that recreational use of cannabis stopped at the Chinese border and was not popular in Thailand till the 1960's, nearly 1700 years later to me is hard to believe.

I was questioning this post it was only in the late 60’s when the US army was over here during the Vietnam war that recreational use became a thing and Thai’s started supplying this to the troops, there are no records of how widespread it was in Thai’s though.

No problem. I was questioning this post on p3 or 4. it was only in the late 60’s when the US army was over here during the Vietnam war that recreational use became a thing and Thai’s started supplying this to the troops, there are no records of how widespread it was in Thai’s though.

Did you bother reading the thread? He claimed that Thailand had no history of cannabis use until the US came during the Vietnam War and asked for proof otherwise. I posted that there was a long history of recreational use in China so it is doubtful that Thailand did not have similar considering the geographic and cultural similarities.

China has been trading with Thailand for years. Many Thais have Chinese ancestors as you might have noticed with all the fireworks on Chinese New Year. It is naive to think that smoking cannabis stopped at the Thai border until the 60's as you claim. If you did the slightest online research you would find out otherwise.

It is not a Thai reference but in Robinson Crusoe written in 1719 he describes how he was suffering from depression and he remembered he had sone tobbaco from the shipwreck. It was green and fully cured and he smoked some of it and went through a revelation about his life on the island. My brother talks of in the early 70's being led off by 12 to 13 yo's to smoke bongs while waiting for the ferry to Koh Samui. They had not seen many farung before. Thai buddha sticks were the most common form in the West for a long time.

I gave up about 10 years ago. It was only afterwards that I realized how angry it used to make me. I would spend hours arguing with telco companies etc. Now I see friends who are smoking and see the same in them.

There are shops spouting up everywhere with advertising. Doesn'tthat qualify as 'waving in their faces'?

I actually hope it doesn't change but they keep on saying 'medicinal' not 'recreational'. I just wonder what it means?

I understand that in a rush to keep Anutin's party onside Prayut has removed the legislation controlling use but have not replaced it yet. The widespread sale at the moment can not be stopped by RTP. They say they will release legislation in August and then we will find out what they are actually dping. They have said several times they will not allow recreational use. It remains to be seen what 'medicinal' use actually entails.
