They use sand in ashtrays right??? 🤔

He was so nice he gave them the shirt right off of his back!!! 🤣

I have read the article 3 times now and NO WHERE does it mention a US Passpot!

Royal Thai Police? Where did the talk about this <deleted> having a US passport???

<deleted> you say? I will share this with my REAL US SF brothers here in Thailand.

Where did you see that???

I'd like to see his DD form 214...

He's not a Yank! Listen to his accent!

I wouldnt know. I am a Yank myself... But as of late, I am not very proud of this like I used to be... 🥺

"Some" is the operative word here. Most of us Vets know that respect is earned and not by merely putting your hand up. It is what you did AFTER you signed up that earns respect.

"Most cannabis entrepreneurs in Phuket, he noted, have yet to recoup their investments, which typically range from 500,000 to 10 million baht." https://www.globe.co.th/news/thailand/thousands-of-cannabis-shops-face-shutdown-under-new-law/

as they SHOULD BE and not put cannabis in the same basket at alcohol...

How to thrive in Thailand? Write and sell a book about F'ing it up! "100% of proceeds from this book are donated directly to support Thai children through trusted charities, including orphanages and schools." and I believe this why? Because he said so? 🙄 BTW I've got some inexpensive ocean front property for sale in Arizona... 😁

Hog Wash! He's no Yank! He's gotta UK accent! 🙄

Legalize all drugs and this problem goes away. And dont try and tell me it will create more users. It wont. Just a whole lot less crime. Users gonna use by hook or by crook.

Except cannabis is not a lethal solvent that dissolves everything it touches like alcohol is. It dissolves carrers, families, businesses, relationships, health, marriages, bank accounts and much much more... 🥺

He wasnt in a rush until a passerby ran past him to do his job! 🤪

Got any actual facts/proof/statistics on that? I bet not. There are 18,000 shops in Thailand so there is some very steep competition so they are NOT making a mint! There are many challenges affecting profitability. Market Saturation: The rapid influx of new businesses led to increased competition and lower prices, making it harder for some shops to turn a profit. Some observers note the market has become "over-saturated". Evolving Regulations: Frequent and sometimes unclear regulatory changes have created uncertainty for businesses, with recent regulations aimed at restricting recreational use causing many to scramble and adapt. Illegal Imports: The presence of illegal foreign cannabis imports has been cited as a factor driving down prices and impacting the profitability of legitimate businesses. High Operating Costs: Indoor cultivation, which is popular, involves significant expenses for electricity, water, and other resources. Unclear Guidelines and Enforcement: Lack of clear guidelines, especially regarding aspects like pesticide use, poses risks and requires businesses to prioritize quality control and public safety. There also will only be a very small handful that will be able to stay open as legal dispensarys. “Hiring a medical professional and updating the shop to meet clinic rules could cost hundreds of thousands of baht." https://www.chiangraitimes.com/health/cannabis-dispensaries-thailand/

and for those who just started this year? Even if they made money, who says it is a lot? Your statement is the only misconception here... and I would bet you havent even tried it. Do some research before making ignorant statements... Many cannabis shops report a payback period of 1 to 3 years. Some may achieve profitability within the first year, while others may take longer, especially if facing high startup costs or market competition. There is huge competition in Thailand

I concur with most here. HOW can they make condemn anything that they have never tried? I think the whole committe needs to sit down, eat a 2.5mg gummie and discuss the matter!

They are just following "Hooters" Marketing Strategy which made them millions! What's the big deal? And they are straw manning about hygelne? They are not carrying the food with their cleavage and I guarentee they are cleaner than their hands are!

Not only that, some business entrepreneurs sank their last baht into some of these stores. Life savings, means of financial support and livilihoods will vanish. Many familys will become destitute from this! It is truly sad.
