We did it with a car, and yea, you need to go faster than people are going to be able to push it.

Again, if his doc recommends, and will obviously write a script, how is finding it an issue. It is in the Thai forum ... go figure. And you are asking for someone else (?), but state 'my doc' .... or is your doc not in TH ... make up your mind. ... hmm Either way, get a script & buy, test yourself, instead of stranger's recommending or not, as all med affect all people differently. Along with why needed and application of said meds. You left a lot out of your OP for anyone to offer any specific advice.

I wouldn't buy brick if having lots of 'wood & shake' in it. But plenty selling just the buds for 14 baht a kg instead of 500 baht. And taste just fine, and surprisingly smooth. 30X price for 7% THC factor ... nah, not this boy. Nothing is that good, and I've smoked my fair share of good buds the past 50 yrs. From Mexican trash, to Columbian/Jamaican to primo USA buds, for couple $100 an oz. When I left the US 22 yrs ago, 7 gr was selling for $50-60, and this from a good friend who had a franchise. Thankfully I never needed to buy any...emphasis on good friend Something I never did, was pay for buds, either had my own franchise, or later enjoyed my friend having. Actually here in TH, the only time I ever paid for buds.

This week, next week, we're out of our 'metro' rental. Just waiting on PEA to install meter on pole. Don't think we'll see many out were we'll be. Haven't even notice bins out there, and definitely not one near out house to use. If they put one down at the end of our soi, I'm not walking 150 m to deposit our trash. Burn baby burn, what little we actually have, as most goes to compost. Put the plastics/metal at the end of the soi, as surely someone will pick them up.

From what I'm reading, I'm not really seeing the 'value' of the primo stuff. Regular Thai Stick or Green Crack is in the 15-18% THC range, so can't see paying 10-20-30X more for another 3-5-7% of THC. I'll simply smoke another doobie if need be.

We separate and save ours to give to the folks pushing the handcart down the soi, and rummaging through the bins for recyclables. Use to sell it ourselves, but they don't give enough worth the bother anymore, to put in the car & drive to collection point. Them folks need it more than us, and hopefully some of it actually is recycled.

I have to apologize, as I've been a blight on society for over 20 yrs. I think I got every tax dollar, and then some back ... ???? I almost feel bad about it. I just consider my family's contribution to the system, as going directly toward me, so not to take away from others who needed it. So 'justified', especially since I haven't used any gov't service or even driven on the USA roads in 20 ish years.

To the title ... Apparent it does. Even that which is separated, some, most ends up in the landfill or sea anyway. That's a lot of energy or recycling going to waste.

I was self funding. No program works that the gov't controls / operates. Soc Sec is proof of that. Career thieves seems to be the only qualification for politicians.

Many people don't realize, you can push start an automatic trans car, same as popping a clutch. Or could years past. I've actually done it, just to see if you could, and damn if it didn't work. No that I would do any of that now, just call up the 24hr service folks.

Your doc recommends, but you state hard to get ... seems a bit strange if he/she will write a script for it, simply buy at the hospital he works at, or pharmacy he/she will recommend.

Make it 1000 baht. Though seems a bit unfair to those responsible tourist that arrive with more than enough insurance coverage. They need to put the $100k USD / 3mill baht plan back in service for all arrivals.

quoting the highest diesel price in an op-ed for petrol inflation equates to quoting wagyu beef price at Villa Markets as everyday beef price at fresh market. Niche market customer vs every day consumers.

Also thought strange those 2 were mentioned, as more than just inflation going on there. Notice author states lives here / TH, and yet, few days ago, stated petrol was 52 baht ???? Hmm ...

TBH, I didn't even expect the US Soc Sec program or my small pension to last as long as I do. Soc Sec has threatened insolvency forever, and the pension is guaranteed by the union, which also could go belly up as the airlines did, and stop at any time. Trusting the gov't or a business for your retirement is a fool's folly IMHO

I broke 100 kgs, a few years back, so picked one up myself, as too hot outdoors half they year, and preferred to work up a sweat in the AC. Just looked, and mines a 'no brand' model. Doubt if it was expensive, me being 'thrifty'. Advertised as 'magnetic', and quite nice actually. Seat adjustable, along w/ adjustable cycling resistance. Had electronics, kms pedaled, even heart rate gauge via thumb, but they c r a p'd out. Didn't need anyway. Just do 20 minutes every day, then my floor exercised for back strengthening. Get some seat time, actually shopping and sitting on, pedal for minute or 2 before buying online. Seat & resistance adjustable about the only 2 options I needed, used. If for weight control beside boosting metabolism/energy level, then research intermittent fasting. As I do that now for maintaining weight at 80 ish kgs. Too easy.

Go deeper to root cause ... people kill people.

Yea, and they even threw in an extra, the 29th for another long weekend ???? One more to go this year, Oct 14th. for another forced long weekend ????

Yes, very low tide session this week. I could easily walk across the bay to the islands off shore. Lots of boats in the bay/on the sand, playing dry dock, and getting barnacles scrubbed.

I'd rather have life or death sentences for any repeat violent offender. Crime against a minor, life sentence first time offender. Give them a choice of life or death sentence. Chem castration, not sure that even works. What's to stop them from buying testosterone. Some people just shouldn't be walking among us. Once you hurt someone, you have no rights as a human.

I don't put much stock in these news-blips/op-eds. Actually starting to ignore most of them. One the other day was stating petrol here cost 52 baht ... ????

Just vacuum seal it and keep in frig. Freezing has a couple pros, but also a couple cons. I'll probably be indulging a bit more than in the past, but still a couple years supply for me. At most, I'll smoke a doobie (1gr) a week, though more like 1 or 2 a month. About the same as my alcohol intake, as I'm a light weight when it comes to stimulants. Them days long behinds me. Easily a 2 yr supply for me, unless I give some away. Doobies slow me down, and I prefer to keep my energy level as high as possible. I'm naturally a LPOS to begin with. Plus I'm on the scooter & ebike everyday, so need to keep my wits about me. Sh!t happen, even in rural areas. First month will be interesting though, as nephew just got here for 3 weeks working on the house.

Competition is a beautiful thing. I went 'top shelf' for the cheap 'sh!t', from local franchise ???? Green Crack 100gr @ ฿1400, so all of ฿14 gr If good, guessing as good or better than TS that Green Las supplied at much better price, 1/5 th ish (฿79), although add in shipping, and 1/10th. 100gr should last me years to come, at least 2, as the THC will degrade after that. Hope it's as good as it looks ... Buds R Us

????????????????

Exciting stuff ... ????
