Yagoda

He doesnt hate your guts at all. You are like the stuff he steps in on the street and scrapes off: an incovenient, smelly annoyance. Most Thais of his social class thaink that way. As well as guys here too I reckon.

Hmmmm. Guess its time to divvy up the money. And the casino hits the news the same day. Interesting.

I refer interested parties to my analysis in the Marijuana forum.

Its NYC water, the best in the world.

Im on the 4oth floor overlooking the river and thats a plus in my book.

Phitsanalok has the Phra Buddha Chinnawat, big tourist place for Thais.

Siem Reap Cambodia

In a land of crappy sausage, the Man with the Hebrew Nationals is King. Unless its a Sabrett.

Like the dudes at Dead concerts walking up on smokers and insinuating in the group. Chicks had it easier. Ya had a fattie in your hand and some babe with short shorts and a tie dye halter dances up to you for a hit. But after ripping it, she dances away.

Sunshine #4, from a farm near Buriram. Cannabis is illegal in Cambodia. One of the best restaurants I know buys ditch weed for about 50 cents a gram and sell it to the tourists at $5 for a half gram joint so they can enjoy with their dinner. Thats why its never going to be illegal. Its all about either the RIGHT folks getting the money the Governemt getting its piece.

Yeah, Kalifornia has bigotry and closed mindedness AND unreal taxes. And 20 Billion dollars missing.

Dude, and anyone else. Lets start with this premise. Absent you being raised Thai and Buddhist you know NOTHING about Thai society, or Thai social/political relationships. You can make all the assumptions and value judgments you want but you know nothing. NOTHING. As do I. And what may be obvious is unknowable for Westerners and unspeakable here. You may have 20 years incountry and have a Thai wife and family but you still KNOW NOTHING. Because you arent Thai. But in a complex arena where the rules and techniques of the players are UNKNOWABLE to the Western mind, its not just one player and one game plan. When it all comes down to the bottom ;line, its all about the money. Cannabis, among other things, is money. So in evaluating the Thai tug of war over that issue, put your western assumptions aside and ask yourself, its it only about cannabis? Or is it more? Because all the parties want $$$, its just how they get there. So analyze the issue by considering everyhting that we are aware of by way of press and our minimal knowledge from just being here or alive. The aging, health and capabilites of important folk. Chinese tourism has declined Macao isnt making it anymore. The Middle East wants to Invest its cash. Casinos The "canal" Crackdowns on gambling and influential people. The relationship between local people, police and influential people. In that regard, for context knowledge, please study Tammany Hall or Cicero, IL in during US prohibition. The return of the Thaksins and other important folk. The fuedal nature of political relationships in Isaan and rural Thailand. The nature of Thai rural poverty The historical and presnt day shifting familial alliances between Tai, Chinese, Lanna, Mon. The great Police fight. The Prime Ministers Background China China China The Thais have been dancing on the world stage holding hands with one, then holding hands with another, all the time making money and developing their country into an SE Asian powerhouse. The Chinese have been a recent dance partner, but the next dancer is the USA, like it was in the days of the Viet Nam war. And it isnt reefer madness.

Cannabis wont be made illegal 1. Foreigners will be preculded from any ownership whatsoever in any part of the supply chain. 2. Regulations will be put in place regarding labeling, potency, contaminations, etc. 3. Smiling dudes will go to every dispensary and collect the soon to be imposed taxes, retroactive to date of first sale. 4. Stree vendors will be all gone.

Putin cant do it. Even after he defeats NATO, the freedom loving peoples of Western Europe with grab their M4 Rifles from their closets with steely, manly determination and fight the Russian hordes to the last man. Wait: Rifles in their closets?. Steely and Manly? Bwahahahahahah

Nice headline. "Flock" LOL. Are there numbers cited or is just a bunch of loons like Lee Harvey. Having been to Russia several times, I can say that if one thinks it is a good place to live, your granny's trailer in the holler must really be run down.

Bravo. Watch them try to twist and turn on that one. By the way have you read the Indictment? hehe

I use Agoda almost exclusively outside the USA

Would somebody with more talent than me (everyone I guess) please post the clip of Lawrence Odonnell calling Stormy a NUN!!!!!!! Cant make this up.

Yeah Im watching the actual replays right now. They are panicking. Its fab! Note: go find the clip of Lawrence ODonnell OMG its great.

War is hell, dont start one.

Shes gonna have to be Street Corner Stormy to earn it.

Now look at that, that goes to show that you can oppose Trump and still be a rational, normal, human being in analyzing the issues and seeing both sides. And coming from a Scouse. Amazing. More knowledge of what the US legal system is about then most of the Americans here. I'm impressed.

Not even worthy of a reply

Well I do know that Alaska is bigger than Europe and that it would take me longer to drive from Texas to Vegas than it would for me to drive from Paris to Berlin. But like so many Europeans you know little about America except as a tit to suck or a bodyguard when the Boche or Ivans get feisty.

Can you imagine the screaming and gibbering? I bet ya Joe Scarborough would have an epileptic fit. OMG that woukld be funnier thatn the garbage can dudes charging the cops.
