Hokeus

Last night I vaped the same 10-strain blend again that I created. I have about another 8 grams of it remaining, so it should last me a while longer before this THC experiment ends. At the moment though I also have a good supply of nearly 10 individual strains, some of them are in the 10 strain blend and others are more newly acquired. But they all have really good strength (between 20%-30% THC) and some have some beautiful and unique terpenes too. So I'm not using any low-level brick quality type weed for this experiment. I still often consume individual strains too and the blend was created mainly for experimentation purposes, but also for those times like last night when I didn't want to have to choose which strain to use. So the beauty of the blend is it gives me the pleasure of taking in so many great strains at once, while ensuring I still get a good, strong dose of THC at the same time. Last night I loaded about 0.3 of a gram into the vaporizer as I usually do. I started out by taking 5 good pulls from it and, then, about 2 hours later, I ripped the same load another 4 times. I normally only take about 6-7 hits in total from one load of weed in the vape, but I went 9 full pulls on the cargo this time before dumping it out. The high was great. Totally relaxing and peaceful. Periods of strong couch-lock and that great feeling went on for about 5 hours in total. Was I feeling an Indica or a Sativa high? Who knows, but since I believe that THC can only have one psychoactive chemical effect on the brain I simply believe I was just high; the same type of high as I always feel from any type of good cannabis. Technically I guess every type of weed strain is within this 10 blend mix, but to me it still feels no different than consuming any type of good cannabis strain individually. Also, I'm not here low-key trying to convince anyone of anything. I'm only sharing my personal results. People are more than welcome to go on believing whatever anecdotal conjecture they would like to believe about getting different psychoactive effects from different types of cannabis strains. Remember -- all I am offering is the truth, nothing more (blue pill, red pill, lol) But I do suggest everyone do some blind tests of their own using the so called "unique" Sativa and Indica dominant hybrid strains, as well as create some mixed strain blends using 5-10 different buds, and see where it goes for yourself. By the way, 0.3 of a gram in a vaporizer is about equal to smoking one standard sized bong hit. It's great that one can put that small equivalent amount of weed into a vaporizer and stay high for so many hours. The same high wouldn't be achievable with that limited amount of weed in a bong. So for everyone in this thread who is so concerned about sourcing low cost weed in order to economize; I suggest you try using a vaporizer instead. The same small amount of weed will go so much further in vaporizer as compared to a bong or a rollup and then it matters less if you are paying 30 Baht or 5X the price for a gram for the highest quality gear. Peace. ✌🏼

All this talk about strains keeping you awake, putting you to sleep, or making you relaxed, happy, euphoric, creative, feeling uplifted, etc has always struck me as just marketing techniques to get consumers to feel more engaged to buy more and to buy various different strains. And if you read a lot about Indica and Sativa, the only real scientific difference between the two types of plants is the physical height. They are just height classifications with no scientific evidence that they have a different psycho active effect. Same goes for all the different ways different strains are supposed to make you feel. That's actually supposed to be based on subconscious reactions to the terpenes and not the cannabinoids themselves, and again there is no scientific evidence to support that different strains can have different psychoactive effects. THC is just THC. It's the amount that's the main controlling factor. Over the last 2.5 months I did a lot of personal experimentation with around 20 different Grade-A strains. The only significant difference I noticed between any of them is that some made me more high and others made me less high. At times the "Indica" ones that were supposed to make me more relaxed or sleepy made me more awake and uplifted and other times I felt more relaxed and sleepier using the same strains. I have come to the conclusion that the difference is really based on your own mood and energy levels at the time when you are about to consume it. I even made some different blends using 5 different strains in each blend. One blend intended to make me more sleepy and the other intended to make me more uplifted based on the "type" of the strains. Again, the results varied each time I smoked each of them. At one point I got the two different blends mixed up so I was eventually forced to do a blind test and couldn't notice any difference between any of the psychoactive effects. Eventually I mixed all 10 strains together and my conclusion again was that it simply made me "high". Some days sleepier and some days having more energy when consuming the 10 strain blend. How high I get or how long the high lasts I found depends purely on the THC level in each strain and what I'm doing physically at the time. And even if it is a weaker strain then I can just smoke a bit more and get the same effect as a stronger strain. Now I mainly look for certain physical properties when I buy bud and I try and get ones with the higher THC levels so I can consume less to achieve the same desired effect. I don't pay attention to what sort of mood they are claiming it will provide, nor whether it's a "Sativa" or "Indica". And smell and taste is a bit more important to me now when choosing a strain since I use a vaporizer. My results are purely personal, but I tried to take an objective approach using a lot of different strains and my results lead me to my anticipated conclusion. Try doing your own test. Get some different "Sativa" and "Indica" dominant hybrids and do a blind test by consuming them without knowing which one each one is and see if you can work it out after you smoke it. Without the subconscious preprogramming by knowing anything about the strain before consuming it you might find you have similar results to what I experienced.

Yes, and your weed goes so much further in a vape as you said. Many people here are concerned about the (already low) cost of the higher quality weed. But if you use a vaporizer you can likely get at least double the amount of benefit out of your weed versus when smoking it. A rollup will typically use up half a gram and much is also lost as it continuously burns between hits. So in the end a vape can also help reduce consumption cost if you prefer to buy the higher priced good stuff without (literally) burning though so much weed.

With the average price of good quality flower coming in around 150 Baht/Gram, it's hard to imagine one is going to get anything really good for only 10-40 Baht/Gram. Even if it's not "brick weed" it probably has a similar level of THC, smell, and consistency to brick. So it might as well be labeled brick, even if it hasn't been pressed. Also, a seller claiming to offer 30% THC weed for only 10 Baht/Gram isn't building a lot of buyer confidence with that sort of advertising.

Nice to hear someone can enjoy 10B/G weed. I haven't seen any yet though that would interest me at that price. And you say strong, but that weed is likely to be 8%-10% THC (possibly less). Thus, "strong", is that relative to regular brick weed?

Yup, it's very easy to get caught up in the trivial soft-milky political minutia of the whole diatribe, but at the end of the day nothing is going to materially change unless weed ends up back on the illegal narcotics list and that train won't be pulling back into the station.

Isn't everyone dying to try these 4 new ones? 😂

UP2U Neh! 🤩

Can't wait, I'm coming now. Will it be Gorilla Glue, Acapulco Gold, or OG Kush this time? 🤗💯❤️

Cheap as chips! 😂

It's unfair to blame them for being upstanding by abiding by the 0.2% THC limit law. 🤣

Personally I much prefer all the LINE App shops passing off bunk Thai-brick-weed as Grade-A/30%-THC high quality bud, but at only 5% of the price of the tourist high-street fleecers. 😂

That is definitely not correct information. That would require every foreigner in Thailand to also have a yellow book to apply for a Bangkok Bank credit card, which is definitely not the case. AFAIR, Bangkok Bank will allow any foreigner (on a long term visa) to obtain a BBL secured credit card as long as they lock up a sum of money equal to the credit card's credit limit into a locked bank account at Bangkok Bank. I think the minimum sum is ฿10,000. KTC (Krung Thai Card) offers the same option to foreigners.

The notion that it was the government's intention in 2022 to legalize cannabis for medical use only is a completely farce. A government doesn't fully decriminalize cannabis and, at the same time, license over 6,000 retail cannabis shops to open up across the country selling weed to any swinging d*ck unless it's your full intention to legalize it for recreational use. Thailand's economy was reeling from the pandemic, and the huge drop in tourism numbers, thus they needed something to pump some life back into the economy. So you need to look purely at what they do and not what they say.

A doctor's prescription sounds like a very possible future requirement. And, as you said, it will be something very easy for most everyone to obtain. But what we don't know is if people (who qualify to use cannabis for medical purposes) will also be required to only obtain their cannabis in the form of oils produced by the government and distributed by a hospital pharmacy. If the government does intend to really make "medical use only" a serious requirement then it could end up going in a more controlled direction to where flowers become fully illegal for the average person. The other and more concerning gray area is, even if you have a medical certificate permitting medical use, and you are using cannabis to relax, improve mood, or reduce anxiety, the authorities could still accuse someone and fine/jail them for recreational use on the basis that they are still getting some enjoyment from the use of the cannabis. So it can become a subjective issue. Basically, any sweeping changes to the law that can impose fines and jail time for recreational use does place things on a much more slippery slope.

All I know is that I was told by UOB that the only requirement to release funds upon death to a named beneficiary on a UOB account is that the beneficiary needs to present a copy of their Thai ID card and the death certificate. You may want to check with UOB directly for further clarification if you doubt this to be correct.

I did not intend to suggest that the clause on the back of the pink card will limit a pink card holder's movements within Thailand of someone who has a passport and who isn't a migrant worker. However, I was told directly by DLT that if you want to use a pink card for address verification (as opposed to obtaining a letter of residence address verification from the Thai immigration department) that the pink card will be accepted as such but that the DL issued would only permit driving of a vehicle in the province in which the DL was issued. I'm only repeating what I was told directly by the DLT back in 2020. If this is really not the law then that would be good news.

The certified translation of your passport is a standard requirement for obtaining the yellow book and will need to be done by a Thai government office. If you're in Bangkok I think that it can be done at one of the government offices in the complex out in CW. Fee is around 1,000 Baht I recall, plus a small extra processing fee if you want to have it done for you while you wait. Birth certificate don't know about. Never heard of that as a requirement for anything in Thailand. Passport already certifies your date and place of birth.

Presumably much of people's income that was already taxed abroad won't be taxed again in Thailand because Thailand has double taxation agreements with at least 61 countries: What is a double tax agreement? Double taxation occurs when two or more different jurisdictions are taxing the same declared income. This can happen when an individual or a company resides and operates in more than one country and is mitigated by double tax agreements between countries. As a result, the income will be taxed only once. If an individual generates income in Thailand but does not have a permanent establishment in the country, the income on business profits is subject to an exemption. Only interest, dividends and royalties may be taxed in the country in which the income arises if there is no permanent establishment. Additionally, the withholding taxes on payments of income to foreign juristic entities not carrying on business in Thailand may be reduced or exempted under the double tax agreement.

You can use it in many situations in Thailand in lieu of your passport where you might be required to show a photo ID. But if you don't have one, and you also don't want to carry your passport at all times, then in some instances a photo of your passport presented on your phone screen will suffice.

Legal marriage to a Thai is not one of legal requirements. The main requirements are a valid yellow book, a valid long term visa, and a Thai translator/witness to accompany you during the process to verify that you understand what's stated in the documents that you will be required to fill out and sign for the card.

It's not only available to permanent residents. Anyone on a long term "O" category visa can apply too. Also, people on a work permit with a one year visa are also eligible.

Adding to my previous post above, a beneficiary named on an account prevents the need for any probate, wills, court judgements, etc. All that is required from the named beneficiary is a death certificate in order to claim the funds from the bank. The beneficiary option may also be available at some other banks in Thailand too besides UOB, but I haven't really looked into it. I know that Bangkok Bank doesn't offer it though as I did inquire with them previously.

Note that item #3 of the standard terms on the back of pink cards state that the cardholder is not permitted to leave the area. What it says exactly is this: ๓. ห้ามผู้มีชื่อในบัตรออกนอกพื้นที่ออกบัตร เว้นแต่ผู้ซึ่งมีใบสำคัญประจำตัวคนต่างด้าวหรือ ผู้ที่ได้รับอนุญาตเป็นลายลักษณ์อักษร The reason for this is because the majority of pink card holders are migrant workers from neighboring countries who aren't permitted to travel outside of the district that they reside in Thailand without having permission. The impact of this, for example, is if you intend to use the pink card for proof of residence address when applying for a driving license in Thailand is that they will only be able to issue you a driving license that only allows you to drive within the province where the driving license is issued. In general, the pink card has fairly limited use and value and in many cases isn't worth the effort if you don't have a yellow book already and/or if the district office will make it difficult for you to meet their guidelines to get one.

Sorry if my post is redundant, but UOB gives you a form to sign when you open savings account in Thailand where you can name a beneficiary for your account when you die. The beneficiary can be anyone. Your wife, your children, your mistress, your dog, UP2U.
