Even if the claim were true, I would add that just because you visit an emergency room doesn't mean anything is wrong with you. If there is a huge jump in ER visits how many actually had serious problems due to cannabis? Perhaps they just didn't have a chance to go to the seminar How to Smoke and Enjoy Cannabis and just needed to have some questions answered like why can't I remember my girlfreind's name temporarily or what have you. There's some trade offs the ganja shop or your dealer are not really responsible for telling you about. Its ironic too that the dosed up sweets and cakes seem to be more acceptable way to market and sell ganja in Thailand. The effects of such are much more likely to overhwelm cause panic attacks than bad boys and girls smoking the smelly stuff. Its perhaps a case of appearances mean everything returning and biting some people in the ass, thinking they can just have a nip by eating a cute bunny rabbit ganja muffin with their latte and go back to the cubicle as before, make up, wig, fake eye wear and a smart appearance fully unruffled by it all. Also, there are types of ganja that have a much more predominantly dysphoric effect, I saw an Afghani landrace strain recently advertised as "Effects: A sense of dread and impending doom." Oh, cool, I'll take a few of those and go back to the office, then please. The problem as often is the case in Thailand most people are not intersted in informing themselves, thats just a bit too anal for anyones style, no one wants to talk to granpa dinosaur who smokes th stuff growin in the backyard about it, so they end up in hospital not understanding whats going on. And I suppose you can't just haul off and work it out freaking out at a rave either, doin the kundalini hippy dippy kung <deleted> twirly what would your co-workers say of they saw you doing that how disgusting? So you end up in the emergency room maybe asking the doctor if you're going o die and if the doctor is anti-ganja maybe he'll say, "It certainly seems so, ye.s." It was kind of the same in the US back in the 70's, nobody was talking that much about different kinds of m.j. having some pretty psychedelic effects, we thought "Hey maybe that was a sherman (pcp/embalming fluid dipped cigarette/joint) that I was smokin on with those guys." It was kind of a running joke when i was a kid to try and exorcise that kind of paranoia the society felt you deserved for smoking probably. So we'd joke , "Hey man you wanna smoke some sherm?" or "You must be smokin that sherm! Gimme yo sherm mutherfonker! Or I'm a funk you up with mine!" As a joking way to refer to good pot or not very good pot that was better than usual when it cam around all to infrequently. There was some weird stuff sometimes in a good way sometimes not. I remember the first time I had hash oil, the whacky skater guy turned us on the front lawn of the school during lunch and i hit that thing and fully astral projected unable to get up and walk back to class when the buzzer rang and just sat there onhe grass looking at myself from the perspective of floating 20 feet above or so and people standing around me laughing and saying, "Come on we have to get to class!...Dude, what are you doing! Snap out of it!" To me its part of the richness of what ganja can bring though I suppose to most it is all some kind of horror, and yeah, I really have never felt making ganja was a good fit for Thailand or at least not initially, it is a bit of a disconnected and very weird leap, but it is relatively harmless stuff compared to most stuff that is sold and marketed to us.

Really a shame whats happening, its just made up hysteria and politics etc. to try and scam something. Medical tyranny in another guise and form seems to be taking shape, really. 500%+ more people in emergency rooms eh? Between what time and what time? Between the time when they were closed due to the pandemic and now? And let me guess, they tested positive for cannabanoids while seeking attention for other issues. So never mind you got hit by a car, you have cannabis traces in the bloodstream, so thats whats wrong with you! Well, thats the world we live in now thanks to the WHO the lying mass medias and western politicians and politicians et al, whatever politicized thing is up with your body according to some guy with a piece of paper certifying he's a doctor has been coerced by his bosses to find, thats what injured or made you ill ot even killed you etc, not what the patient has come in to the emergency room for, not the obvious common sense things such as a sudden and flabberghasting eruption of severe auto-immune system disorders in a 20 year old or that, now old, chestnut myocarditis. If he hadn't smoked ganja that one time in the last 5 weeks he wouldn't be dying of moneypox, 'r humty dumty box 1ACX9-7 or whatever the flavor of the week is! Tests positive for cannabis(never an inaccurate result!), therefore cannabis gave him a severe concussion and poor performance on our special inhouse IQ test custom designed on the spot to suit each test subject, by golly! Tell the people! We gotta test everyone for cannabis skew the results just to make sure and put 'em in camps for testing positive! They are in great danger and they are now retarded and insane so the medical system and society could get overwhelmed. Well end up like Afghanistan where they smoke all the time or Uruguay or Canada god forbid! If anyone you see is acting funny or otherwise not playing along as it were, just call the nw hotline and benefit immensely from an earache by listening to our circa 1987 answering machine and its scratchy, extremely loud, distorted warbly music for 45 minutes or until you can't take it anymore or you just may get lucky and get to talk to our staff member who doesn't know anything and cannot really understand you because you are foreigner who know too much and speak Thai too much and talk too much so cannot help you, kha! Sorry na! Goodbye...

Except that in the case of your example Vietnam, like Thailand, Malaysia Cambodia, they no longer require vaccination documents or test results either according to the IATA COVID travel information page. Having money in an account is not the issue for me and for a lot of people who do multi entry visas as opposed to visa extensions in country, the issue is internal Thai immigration's propensity to abuse applicants and it doesn't end until you get out of the loop of going in and paying tribute to your abusers once every 90 days and once a year for the big trauma fest of the visa extension circus. Its not really my thing. If a Thai consulate in Vietnam or any of those other countries offers a multiple entry 1 year visa, that might be the way to go, but last I checked, Savanakhet is one of the few consulates that offer 1 year, non-immigrant O visas. I picked one up in Jakarta once, 10 years ago, great embassy, no queues, non-plussed, friendly, informed, willing to help, fluent, English speaking Indonesians working the windows, very nice, everything as it should be, though you do wait a week to get your visa. You can take some side trips around Java while you wait I suppose. But of course Indonesia is still like Laos requiring documents if they allow people at all into the country, though I think Bali is admitting people with just proof of negative testing results and they were offering multi-one year visas at an official franchise office awhile ago. That would really be the way to go I suppose, hang out at the beach for a week while you wait. I don't see that there would be a big problem or a huge risk. Not having such documents when required, the airlines would probably just knock you back and you wouldn't be allowed on the flight or if they let you on the flight anyway, without test results, you might get tested on arrival in Laos or wherever. If you mean that upon being spot checked you'd end up testing positive and have to be sent to quarenteen, OK, I suppose for many people that would be a bit of a problem should the quarenteen be for a long time or even worse they just never let you out for whatever reason, such as being able to charge you lots of money for the use of the quarenteen facilities. But you face the same problem, going to a hospital to get tested, you test positive and I believe they take you away to the camp for a spell. Also the situation as far as land entry versus air travel, is often different which is why I asked. I'm not flying to Laos, I'm travelling by land. So, I'm not really that bothered if I get to Laos and the immigration guy is in a bad mood and asks for my COVID documents and i don't have them. I'll just take the bus back into Thailand, get tested and get my documents and try again. Thanks everyone else, sounds like good news, land crossing into Laos they likely won't ask for COVID documents. Hopefully Laos will soon drop their requirements as more and more countries do the same.

I am considering going back to my old routine of getting a multi-entry O family visit visa from the Thai consulate at Savanakhet. Doing it locally at the immigration police office, as we have had to do since the border closures in country, has, as expected, not been a good experience either time, they just mess with you. The consulate in Savanahkhet was always a breeze and I hope it still is. Anyway, my question is, Thailand has dropped all of their entry requirements but what about Laos? Is the country only open to the vaccinated, or do you have to get tested and get those documents together to enter Laos? How has people's experiences been with Laos immigration on COVID entry requirements, perhaps they don't check or are they rather fantical about it all?

A leisure city, eh? Sounds like a euphemism for a city where everyone's unemployed. Las Vegas is number 1 for unemployment in the US at 9% according to USA by Numbers, speaking of publications that perhaps no one reads, so I vote for Vegas. Last time i checked, as an American citizen I'm not required to know where Vegas or anything is, but its not too far from Southeast Asia is it? Well certainly on a galactic scale its not so far anyway, sheesh, lets not get persnicketty.
