Oh absolutely. Recriminalising cannabis is the most ridiculous and self-destructive thing they could possibly do at the moment, which is why it will probably happen 555.

A ridiculous and fearmongering article that misses the key points entirely and deliberately. In order to recriminalise the use of cannabis they would have to add it back to the category 5 narcotics list from which it was recently removed. By doing so, they would make hundreds of thousands of Thais criminals overnight. Note that they have just given away a million plants, and it is available everywhere and now a massive industry with products on the shelves of every convenience store and supermarket. It's here to stay so better just deal with it as it is.

He's a pretty average person at best but thinks he's something special with an ego to match. I encounter a lot of these types in upper management in companies I work with.

It wouldn't be Thailand if there wasn't complete confusion about what is going on.

Hundreds of thousands of Thai people are growing their own cannabis now. It's hard work at 75 queueing for food at the food banks.

Back to not washing hands after going to the toilet again then.

Would you accept being tested for drugs at immigration when entering another country? I don't use any illicit drugs and rarely drink these days but it is simply not acceptable to check and punish people for something they have done that was perfectly legal in another country. It's called personal freedom and millions died for it and that flag you have in your avatar. Jeez, you're having a 'mare on this thread mate.

Some MPs are. This is the correct answer.

Any country that tests me for drugs at immigration will never be visited ever again.

I guess they learned that form of discipline from their colonial masters. It does tend to keep the place more 'civilised'.

He went and carried on as normal even after he was involved in an incident in which there was a fatality? ????

Seems to be open season on foreigners now.

This seems to be a regional phenomenon.

Not so nice when the boot is on the other foot eh?

Correct. Thong Lor and the adjoining Lumphini are notorious for their behaviour. They are however where all Thai policemen aspire to be posted as they are in the most affluent areas of the city. ????

Thong Lor Police are a law unto themselves, wholly corrupt and don't care.

Thailand has been a hub for these scams since I arrived here 32 years ago. Most of the big expat bars on Sukhumvit in Bangkok were built on boiler room scam money in the 90's and early 00's. Hardly, if any prosecutions happened and when foreign police forces got involved there were arrests and deportations as a show but the operations kept going and those criminals came back unimpeded.

As predicted, Customs clamping down on imported cannabis from the US and elsewhere...

It is but when have the Police ever cared about the law when they are out extorting foreigners?

I've been stopped and searched a number of times on Sukhumvit, Thong Lor cops are notorious for it.

That bumbaclart never been fit.

This seems to be typical among those in charge here.

It has worked in making certain people an absolute fortune though.

Nothing as fragile as a Thai male ego.

If you are worried about the amount of nutrients get an EC meter. Cheap as chips on Lazada. Feed them 200-250ppm for the first week then up it to 500 for the second week then 700+ for the rest of the veg state. When in flower over 1,000ppm is the norm.
