So, does everyone (Thai nationals) file a tax return every year? Do Thai nationals that receive a paycheck for services rendered have income taxes deducted from their pay? I have dozens of Thai friends. Only those with a business pay income taxes, most with small cash jobs just ignore filing a tax return. Are they going to crack down on everyone, or are they targeting expats?

I am not saying anything else, except the leaves work really well for me,we make it into edibles and i use it to sleep.

So there for i believe there is enough THC in there to give me a good buss.

 

There is no THC in the leaves. You don't have to believe me,  just Google it 

I didn't think you could do that now? You even need to register your computer for access.

Really?

The leafs are working really well for me!

 

Do you see vendors selling leaves? I'm not saying that you can't use the leaves, like for tea, or decorations on cakes or other meals, or that there might be some useful or helpful trace minerals. But as far as putting money in the pockets of Thai Nationals trying to earn some money in order to be able eat and pay their bills? Worthless!

Seriously, the cat is out of the bag, and it will be impossible to put it back in. No black market, means no corruption. How many people are getting rich off of the illegal beer industry? Exactly! Regulate it, tax it, and use the tax dollars to help the people of Thailand. They can start with the dangerous and ugly communication wires that don Thailand like lights on a Christmas tree. Roads and litter could also use some attention. And lets not forget smokey season. Yeah, bad cannabis, bad, very bad.

Jail the muppet, he never will learn to behave.

And throw away the f'n key

My niece and nephew (Thai nationals) both went to international schools here in Chiang Mai. Their English is not bad, but when I asked them about math, it turns out they don't teach algebra 1, algebra 2, or geometry in grade school. I almost fell on the floor. The curriculum is certainly lagging behind the rest of the world. 

By the looks of the crowd, the outrage was... wait, there was outrage? Scantily clothed dancers? Really? This is not real news! With so many things to actually get riled up about in the world, this doesn't even make the list.

Not surprising, also puts Thailand in an awkward position. It will all come down to Chinese tourism dollars, doesn't it always. 

And so it begin...

Good for you, and keep up the good fight. I am an expat, now living in Thailand full time. Taking Cannabis off the narcotics list was the right move. Having no clear plan in place and no enforcement of that plan unfortunate. I say it in a slightly sarcastic way when I look at the big picture. No burning rules are in place, but little enforcement of those rules. No helmet rules are in place, but again, little enforcement of those rules. I could go on, but you get my point, and as a foreigner I have little to no say in any of these matters, but it doesn't mean I have no concern for issues that need attention. My Thai wife, and all my Thai friends feel the same way as you. How can they get their signature on your petition?

Shrooms most likely the cause, though it is just a guess 

Ever see the movie Private Parts? Autobiographical film about Howard Stern's rise to fame. I rarely listened to his radio show, but the movie was enjoyable. There is a parallel between you two and your fans. Some love you, some don't but both constantly tune in to see what you'll say next. As a side note, after several weeks of no crowing from the Rooster, even I wondered if an angst up Thai had finally made Lab Gai out of you!

No evidence given as to why these doctors want to make a u-turn. And the very next article is about two 14 year old girls on a motorcycle, one dead, the other in the hospital with serious injuries. If they are so concerned about the children, there are many other issues for them to focus on. Marijuana use is not one of them.

I think you are being cynical.... but hopefully I see the signs before something gets broken! More recently it is the state of the toads making that decision for me,

sarcasm is my middle name! I already don't drive a car, haven't owned one in more than three years, I let Grab do all the work during the rain and heavy shopping. Driving on two wheels is my definition of freedom. I am also a 100% defensive driver, and firm believer in the motorcycle safety foundation course, Which some drivers here in Thailand can desperately use.

Really ... I think I might have the ability and common sense to limit riding to within my abilities. Hopefully I will recognize my faculties are waning and draw a line under bike days. Enough damned fools on the roads out there without the damned old fools. 

yeah, the first thing old folks recognize is when it's time to hang up the keys (motorbike or car).

You can’t ‘wobble & fall off’ a car… 

 

The difference is vast…  at some point we all lose vital skills and function.

 
The sensible posters are highlighting how they hope they will recognise when it’s time to hang up their helmet. 

 

You can get drunk, wobble, and drive off a cliff in a car. Why don't you tell us all that things can be dangerous without telling us. And I'm sure all sensible car drivers recognize when it's time to stop driving cars.
