I'll ride a scooter around city streets at low speed but no way would I ever take a bike on long trips. Statistically it's just too dangerous.  It doesn't matter how good a driver you think you are. You are not good enough to read other drivers minds and you can't prevent random events like rocks/trees falling down hills or road washing out and not being visible or whatever..

Ideal climate is dry and sunny.

Bad climate is wet and humid.

 

Which climate does Thailand have?

There are different strains for different climates.  They can grow good weed in Florida.  Which climate do you thing that is more similar to?

Does anyone know what kind of seedlings they gave away?  Are they anything approaching high THC strains or just basically hemp? You need a lot of hemp plants to be able to produce anything useful with it.  However, just one high THC plant can potentially produce several kg of bud.  They can grow as big as trees, especially in an ideal climate like Thailand.

With so many stray dogs around this was bound to happen.  Surprised it doesn't happen more often.  Maybe this will motivate them to clean up the problem but I doubt it.

The way I used to germinate seeds is to put some toilet paper in a small dish with a bit of water and cover it with saran wrap.  After a few days you should see roots.  After maybe a couple weeks when the roots are long enough put them in some soil.

I will be happy when these stores set up their websites.

As well as being able to order online, it may bring about a price war, in order for shops to be competitive.

 

 

Someone on some forum (maybe this one?) claimed they got high THC weed delivered via Grab.

The prices you see there are for top grade indoor cultivated hydroponic grown with IR lamp weed. Nothing like the locally garden grown version which is much cheaper and a fraction of the strength. It's like comparing a bottle of imported single malt whiskey with a bottle of Leo.

The entire country is an IR lamp.  Hydroponics and lights are only for consistency and when the climate is not conducive for growing it outside.  Also speeds up production with more lamp hours possible.  Thailand doesn't have that climate problem so I am pretty sure they can grow stuff outdoors in Thailand that is every bit as strong as hydroponic indoor stuff.  You just need good seed strains well suited to the climate.

Any part of the plant over 0.2% is illegal, the buds cannot be used in food or for smoking as anything above 0.2% is still considered a Category 5 drug and will be prosecuted. This isn't a law, it's a joke

Yes it is still illegal, just like prostitution is still illegal.  So this is kind of the same thing now as I see it.  IIlegal but tolerated.

Because I finished high school I can understand the difference between a plant, a flower and an extract. Extract limited to 0.2%, plant and flower unlimited.

 

Menu is showing flower, so unlimited in THC content.

You are not technically allowed to sell "any product containing more than 0.2% THC".  Doesn't matter if it's dried flower or an extract.  However, it looks to me like they understand it's very difficult to enforce that for the flower because that would require lab testing, so looks to me like they will just let the boys in brown get their palms greased to allow these places to stay opened instead.

Why not label this post clickbait trolling because that's all it is.

This does open up the possibility of recreational use being treated like the adult sex industry.  Where it is technically illegal but tolerated.  I wouldn't want to be one of the first to test that assumption out though.

Starting to get very annoying that no official spells out in capital letters exactly what is an extract. Makes a complete mockery of what should be a monumental day for Thailand.

Just about anything.  As long as it does not contains more than 0.2% THC.  That means nothing anyone wanting to get high would be interested in.

They didn't really legalize pot.  They legalized that stuff I used to think was pot as a kid when it was just the leaves that fell off the plant that had almost no THC in it.

I think all of this is basically setting the framework for legalizing actual potent THC bud for recreational use.  Maybe in another year or so.  They may be willing to turn more of a blind eye to some of that going on now, like people growing plants at home that just happen to have extremely potent buds, but that remains to be seen.

There is a shocking headline.  Who'd a thunk.

All other things aside,  there is no denying that Thailand is better value overall.  Accommodation is usually the 2nd biggest cost after the plane ticket. Thailand is better value than the Philippines for what you get.  Also better infrastructure.

I think Vietnam is probably better value still, but it's pretty close.

Thai Pass Strikes again TIT

You serial complainers must really be getting desperate to try connect those dots.

Given the insanity of the past 2.5 years of gov't overreach and overreaction, how soon before we all have to start pulling down our pants for inspection on arrival?

From what I see regarding sanitation practices here I would not drink the tap water.  
Also if you are here from another country. Your intestinal tract is not accustomed to the bacteria, etc. So drinking the tap water is not a good idea to begin with.  
And bottled water is not expensive.  So I don’t see why someone would risk drinking tap water.  Unless your monetary situation is so bad you can’t even afford a bottle of water. 

Umm no, it's just much more convenient and what many of us are accustomed to doing in the west.

Awfully quiet in here.  Where are all the normally very verbose and opinionated crypto moonbois?  Did something happen? ????

Have you seen TSLA stonk lately?  He can't afford it anymore.  That's the real reason he's waffling now.

The only people making consistent money from crypto are the people skimming the transactions, which is ironic considering one of the biggest selling feature of crypto was that it was supposed to bypass traditional banking fees.
