  1. Bull <deleted> there’s absence of regulation. Any time they implement a new law or regulation the hemp shops are always putting it into effect sometimes even weeks or at least days before they are even announced. There’s definitely regulation it’s just behind the scenes. Anytime a new regulation is introduced I always seem to find out about it at the hemp shops before the news.

    The only thing the government will be interested in is the tax income.  I wonder just how much of that 'very large' sum is actually declared.  If little or nothing is being received, they will knock it on the head.

     

    It doesn't even have to be cash in Thailand, there must be very little scrutiny of bank accounts - I've had people ask me not to pay money into their business accounts, but to transfer to their personal accounts.

     

    Manager at my Kasikorn branch says its rife and nobody worries about paying 'grey' money into their personal accounts.

     

    Grey money in the UK must stay grey, cash only. If the Inland Revenue decide you're worth a look the banks have to supply details of every account you hold by law and they can go back 7 years. If you can't say (or even remember) where something's come from, they count it as income.

    The Thai government will be concerned about the economy and bringing in the tourists and this is what’s bringing them back.

    Well it wasn't, then it was and then god knows what? They were never really clear on that - neither when it was announced nor for the first few months.  Remember all the talk about Cannabis Tourism, how it would revitalise the tourist industry? 

     

    Did they ever formalise the law on exactly what was and wasn't allowed?  Last I heard, the answer was no. All I ever heard was conflicting statements from different 'ministers' (sometimes from the same minister) and just because someone says something, that doesn't make it law.

     

    I guess the law may have been made clear but I doubt it. In any case I got bored with all the conflicts and stopped following it.

    Yet it was and that’s all they have been doing along. This is just disinformation from the opposition nothing more it’s not facts.

    BP updated on this yesterday. the headline in the BP says....draft bill on cannabis not finished says cholnan. what was forwarded was the health ministries views on the subject. 

     

    then he goes on to state it is his firm belief that cannabis should be used strictly as medical. HIS VIEWS is the key phrase here. 

     

    a khao san road business rep went on to say that it possibly generates 20 to 30 mb alone for khao san road per month. multiply that throughout the countries tourist areas and you have a large sum of money.

     

    VERY large. 

     

     

    Yeah I’ve been buying it for years and every single one of my shop sources who know because these changes always seem to go into effect suddenly before announced say that basically nothing is going to change fundamentally as is now except for age restrictions and potentially health certificate requirement worst case scenario.
