  1. I'm more of a fool for over priced exotic beers I suppose like Guinness or a nice 12% THC Imperial Stout. But alas, its illegal to sell those online since about two years ago supposedly because minors might order them we are told. Its interesting that it doesn't seem to matter if minors order ganja. I would say enjoy your mail order ganja while you can, someone in the government sponsored by the major brewing companies is bound to go on the war path against it soon enough if being unable to order beer online is anything to go by. Or did they recently relax about ordering alcohol? Nevermind, I suppose I can look it up myself.

    I guess the stuff in the picture at Big C is kitchen ganja but Green Lab now has the real stuff at fancy prices with names like Destroyer on its website. Perhaps Big C will distribute that in future too. 

    Thanks so much, I did not know about Green Lab, I'll have to check it out and the other place mentioned in the ASEAN-Now News today. Yeah, fancy prices, but I'm not going to smoke hardly at all and planning to plant my own, thats whats most satisfying about cannabis to me are the plants. But yeah, I'm curious about the strains these days. I haven't smoked since the mid 1980's. In Northern California, we had good weed available but the only names I ever heard was skunk and sins bud and indica. By the mid 1980's nearly everyone was put off inferior quality commercial Colombian, so the former three types were the only ones apart from what you and your friends grew. Cheers!

  3. The headline is a bit alarmist for those like myself who support full legalization. Yes, it will be somewhat more regulated than allowing kids to buy it and use it at school or pregnant women, but as someone has pointed out on this thread they don't mention any of that regarding alcohol which is no doubt even worse for developing fetuses.

     

    The second thing Anutin is talking about, is  another new head scratcher, like he just woke up a few days ago and stumbled onto an old dog-eared and dusty handbook about growing cannabis at home and how if you grew your plants well you could achieve flower buds with 12% THC. Well, yes Anutin, the buds have that and a lot more these days, they are supposedly up to 30% and more if you like, if the cannabis seed retailers are to be believed and they probably can be. So, yes, what was all that about 0.2%, where did that come from? Anyway, anything that is at a mere 12% I would imagine does not get that much interest from most smokers these days, it should be more like 18-26% THC. I myself would probably rather stick to old school 12% though.

     

    Anyway, near as I can place it, he's just throwing miscellany into the pot (no pun intended) to make it sound like he has strict limits but he hasn't yet said anything about how they are going to limit bud THC, but you wonder if thats a hint. Really though they are making a hash (no pun intended) out of this, likely due to the fact they are stepping on all kinds of powerful people's toes, probably even pissing off other ASEAN countries like Singapore whose citizens will probably be flocking enmasse for stoned out holidaze in Thaistick land, so they have to make noises like "And oh my god! The cannabis flowers have 12% THC! We'll all lose our minds if we don't charge heavy taxes on 12%+ buds, we need to limit how much people smoke by putting it out of reach cost-wise! We really do care about our people's health! We do! And keep burning your plastics by the way we want Thailand to be plastic free by 2025! "

  4. Gee, I guess I'm just out of the loop once again. I hadn't heard that ex-pats, ex-johns, ex-charlies or ex-barbaras and lisas are leaving Thailand in droves. Bu now that you mention it, I should leave, but I am not the upstanding, toe the line and get the latest booster shot and move onto the next place kind of person the rest of you are. "I'm blowin this pop stand! I'm goin to Ecuador! Why you can take acid on the beach  in Ecuador, its semi-legal. And they got cactus growing all around and the volcanoes blowin their stacks its incredible!" " There's always plenty of reasons to leave that many of us love to moan about, like how the godamn birds in this country (no not those kind of birds, I mean birds that live in nests and lay eggs, not British "beüds", no I mean bards like we say in Alabama) that chirp all day, or charp all day as we say in Biloxi, they don't even sing they just beep or peep these one note bursts again and again and again and again and again and its enough to send you running and screaming for the exits back to Jacksonville, and with that as the back drop to the constant droning of the question, "How long you stay in Thailand?" which when you start thinking about it too much, and particularly in concert with the non-concert that is the beeping birds who can't string together a two note melody to save their lives, it completely loses its meaning. I don't really even understand the question any more. How long you stay in Thailand? Does it mean both how long have you stayed in Thailand and how long will you stay in Thailand, or what? I'm beginning to think so but that doesn't make any sense to me and doesn't to the Thais but they don't care. But what the hell does it even mean? Stay? Thats what I tell my dog to do, stay! Stay boy! "Stay right here in Thailand! "Stay! boy! Stay!"Anyway,  I move around a little bit, what you mean how long I stay? And if you ask people what they mean they seem to get confused and then try to make a slap stick joke out of it say for example and then hit you over the head with a spoon. Nobody understands what or why you are asking, "Woy! Ting tong! Why you not go back home already? Airport is over there."  The way everything is a bloody misunderstanding all the time and thats the way they like it!  If everyone misunderstands what you are saying then they don't have to answer you except how they want to and you don't have to answer them, and you can change the topic change your mind, change the salad dressing and the whole damn menu at the drop of the hat if thats what you need and no one even blinks. "Oh...misunderstanding." You can get out of anything because it was a misunderstanding. Simple as that. You got run over by a train because you asked, "Can we stand here?" And they said "Shooah! You can stand anywhere in Thailand! You free baby! And ganja is free too!" But, no really you can misunderstand anywhere and get run over by a train because you think you can stand there and Thai people think you can stand there too, but not tell you, you'll get hit by a train if you stand there. And how they are always out of something you sort of kind of need to buy but not really. Or they get something you like and then start to need it and then they know, now is the time to stop selling it. I swear my wife calls the supermarket when I'm asleep in bed, "OK he's really using pickel relish all the time,  pull the plug, send the rest of it back to the distributor now, your clear. The hooks are in. "  And you ask the shop manager,  "Say blood, why you go and discontinue those  blue corn jalapeño cheese puffs on me and sheet, that's a messed up deal man, why you do that?" and they say "Because nobody ever buy them." And you say "well I was buying them! I bought all the ones you had on the shelf one day! If you hadda put more I would bought them too G.! But Because I already knew you'd discontinue them next month because you were actually selling them and its too much trouble for your ass to order more,  you don't order that thing again! Thats it isn't it, G?! You just want things in here up ther on the shelf that no one will buy, so you don't have to do nothin!" And he says "Yes." And thats all he has to say. Not yes you're right just "Yes." If it was America and they had that kind of attitude they would say, "Uh-huh." and thats it, that all they would say. But here they say "Yes." The brittle floors and tables and beds that are constantly collapsing under my 900 pound frame, the way you have to keep fixing your house all the time because materials and workmanship ain't no good, the way people don't appreciate my yodelling or my gifts. "Have some candy!" "No! Mai pet rai!" "No really! I insist!" "No! I not hungry!" "Well you can save it for later!" "I already have candy I save!" "Well you can give it to your sister then, right?" "I no have a sister i have 3 brothers." "Well give it to them!" "My brother old already, they don't eat candy!"   Its enough to make you want to move to a war zone! Aghh! Argh!

    Because I finished high school I can understand the difference between a plant, a flower and an extract. Extract limited to 0.2%, plant and flower unlimited.

     

    Menu is showing flower, so unlimited in THC content.

    I'm sure you can make that distinction unfortunately most of the media and/or the govt spokesmen don't seem to be able to, don't pin it on me.  That said, we are very proud of you that you finished high school, what do you want to be when you grow up,  a journalist?

    According to this strong buds are legal it is just extracts that are illegal.

    The simplest thing I have seen yet. If its truly from the Royal Police and/or Bangkok Post, thats pretty much the final word. I guess this forum needs to generate discussion and something as straight forward as this doesn't do that. Thanks again Don Chance!

    I can see again someone who spends more time trying to bash the government than understanding what is really happening.

    I asked for information about this, and you won't provide them c.n.n.t Thailand is not a link to a specific article or website as far as I know. I'm clearly interested in clarifying the issue, not slagging off the government. If its truely going to be legal you can show me the links but you are too busy I guess defending your government for whom there is no defense on this issue. They are purposefully trying to confuse people and in paricular tourists and foreigners.

  8.  Thailand has a chance to get in on the ground and boost its economy by welcoming tourists as normal, as before the pandemic. Other countries have done so and more to come, others have much fewer restrictions.

     

    These countries have dropped all COVID restrictions within their borders and for arriving tourists. You can go to these countries and not face any hassles at all stemming from the pandemic restrictions with the exception of Mexico where  some businesses are asking for proof of vaccination and requiring them as allowed by Mexican law. Not many yet but growing by the day, the lockdowns are  over in these countries an COVID is of no more significance than a cold or flu:

    UK, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Hungary, Romania, Mongolia, Montenegro, Mexico, El Salvador, Gabon, and Yemen

  9. Well it takes one simple step Thailand:

     

    LEGALIZE IT!

     

    Ganja, alcohol (it is only semi-legal here)  and dancing in the bars and the human free will and mind. You do that unambiguously and sincerely and you will be not only a tourism #1 but a world super power a star, but you won't do it. You like being a lackey to the City of London, and they know what I am referring to but do you Thailand, and you prefer to be dictated to by China by senile Joe Biden and so you have few tourists because there is nothing else than prison planet going on here isn't it?
