stoner

this one time at band camp....

couple weeks ago i walked down soi bukhao and saw dozens of foreigners just sitting there staring at me. then i realized they were all drunk and out of it. well weird.

not to compare but lithium is quite nasty and definitely needs changes and more technology to move forward.

like the ones needed to manufacture and transport the device you are using now ?

People who get infected by this new stain have mild symptoms with some only having a cold and sore throat like common respiratory infections.

i wonder what a rock concert vs a major sporting event vs making a movie vs my carbon footprint is ...relatively speaking. i bet one of those events alone can account for dozens of single persons footprint over a lifetime. ok I'm off to saint tropez for some fun fun.

that has to be one of the dumbest photoshop pictures i have ever seen in my life. what an embarrassment. ps...i would trust the sub in sammieuk pic way before the chinese one.

for them does it matter though ? isn't it like a 3 card monte in the end ?

the number of people you are talking about that won't come to thailand because of cannabis vs the overall tourism effect is laughable. ya lots of families who wanted to come to thailand for tourism go to cambodia instead. not helping my argument indeed

i already answered yes. but i would also say that the number who decide not to come are fewer than those who do want to come (tourist numbers reported for this past year seem to indicate people are coming) as you point out tourists still come even though the sex trade is right there for little jimmy to see. i am sure that was always the case right ? or did it take time to evolve into that ? same will happen with cannabis. the beginning of new things will always come with hiccups and issues. my home canada has not fallen into shambles because of cannabis. as i said the world view is changing quickly on cannabis. not my viewpoint just reality.

a certain group who control a large part of entertainment down on suk also control the cannabis shops.

maybe that's where the stores who have the good weed are open ?

the positive far outweighs the negative. someone who didn't want to go to KSR because of weed went to another spot in thailand and spent their money. win win. yes i am aware that some people will chose to stay away from thailand because of the cannabis. i also believe that (without proof just anecdotal evidence) that far more people are accepting of it and do want to come here for the experience. the world is shifting quickly in its attitude towards cannabis as shown by the number of countries moving forward with new policies.

it should also be noted that the vast majority of all cannabis stores in thailand are concentrated in the high traffic tourist areas. once you venture away the frequency of stores drops off dramatically. i notice no one wants to address that. i can't go to my restaurant now because of the stink. said people who live in tourist areas. anyone in nakhorn nowhere want to chime in about how their local restaurant.... cant go now due to stanky cannabis. so with that known most thai are not exposed to all this fear and blabber nonsense spouted on here regarding cannabis.

i thought me saying it was a hypothetical scenario cleared that up. i don't even live in pattaya so theres that.

what loss have other families endured from someone opening a business in a tourist spot known for less than desirable behavior ? will you also take this stance in regards to the losses people endure when a bar or night club is opened up close to them ? neon store fronts hahahah ya like that is anything new in thailand. good try though.

most of what you have posted here is simply ill informed. can you post a link to show that in 18 months there has been no benefit or impact on tourism. just yesterday BP reported that about 20 to 30mb monthly is generated on khao san road alone from cannabis. multiply that all over thailand and you have quite a lot of money. i don't want to go into the details of how the market is so much more than just people selling flower and others getting high. i am sure you can figure that out. big nothing burger there right ? empty stores i do somewhat agree with you. many people without any knowledge of the cannabis business rushed to open a store so they could possibly score a windfall in sales. as is with any other poorly thought out business plan they were destined to fail. besides that the vast majority of ALL stores in thailand carry garbage product. so that helps quite a bit as well. bad product and no one wants to come to your store. would you care to comment on the stores that are doing upwards of 30 to 50k a day in sales ? there are stores in thailand packed with customers every day. i know of a few that do upwards of 70 to 100k a day in sales. as for growers. again totally ill informed. the price for flower is steadily rising again. many growers have already failed (again that mad rush to start a grow and make millions was not well thought out). i have visited dozens and dozens of grows all over thailand and can really say that only a couple were producing quality. people exporting without necessary paperwork are a matter for law enforcement and customs officials. those are criminals and have nothing to do with the legal cannabis market locally.

what dosage were you using ?

ok big fella.

are you really that obtuse ? it was presented as a situation not my life. thought that was abundantly clear. guess i have to slow it down for you a little next time.

depends on the person right. for example. i have a hard time with the lk metro soi bukhao area of pattaya. it stinks like piss beer and spunk all over the place. rather revolting but i bite my tongue as i walk into a stinky weed shop.

it is almost daily now i read wonderful stories of tight thai family units showing us westeners how it's done. after all i have been told so many times that they do it better. ahhhhhhh family.

what an original comment that has never been posted on the cannabis threads.

london....can you also give me the lotto numbers for tonight. you on point son.....not even a day later.

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.
