What Would Make You Leave Thailand, Permanently?
That sounds pretty kinky. Now you got me asking myself why I'm not already doing that now. It would be a shame to wait so long for that level of satisfying filth.

Getting a Medical Certificate for Cannabis Use in Thailand
There are clinics that do it all online with video consultation and postal delivery of documents. Renewals don't require more than sending a LINE message to a clinic and transferring payment. Document will show up in the post 2-3 days later.

Getting a Medical Certificate for Cannabis Use in Thailand
What makes more sense to me is to get the one-year card that you can show at any time, but then only refill the prescription every couple of months (instead of monthly) to save both money and hassle. If anyone ever questions it, you can simply say you do not get a prescription monthly because you still have supply left from before the law changed.

Great. So you already left. I might what? I don't do wives. That's for amateurs.

Which online companies have really pungent weed.
I tried that Khalifa Mint when he had it before sometime late last year. It was an interesting smell. I didn't mind it. Most of his eVap/outdoor grown weed doesn't have much in the way of terpenes, but that strain definitely does. Not very high in THC though, as with all of that semi-outdoor grown stuff.

Nah, you would stay and try and get a new one.

In Thailand: Is the loss of one's intellectual peer group a unique form of silence?
Yet somehow you summon the strength to spew drivel at any given moment of your choosing. Truly, a masterclass in dedication. A driveler of the highest order. Bask in your fine achievement sir, you have rightfully earned it.

In Thailand: Is the loss of one's intellectual peer group a unique form of silence?
Dear Gamma, Truly, a tour de force of reflective melancholy. A lamentation worthy of ancient philosophers… if those philosophers had been exiled to a tropical climate and found themselves explaining Benny Hill reruns to a crowd that only knows TikTok dances. And yes, Gamma, I too know that silence. That dead-eyed, blink-blink stare you get when you make a clever quip about Thatcher or drop a sly reference to Monty Python, only to be met with the same expression you’d get from a water buffalo pondering astrophysics. You have captured it beautifully: the tragic, noble burden of being the last keeper of the sacred intellectual flame, bravely reciting tales of political farce and pub trivia to an audience that just wants to know if you want sticky rice with your som tam. Do I miss it, Gamma? Oh, every single day. I miss the warm comfort of witty repartee, the sparkling back-and-forth of shared cultural shorthand… all of it now replaced with the steely-eyed determination to mime out what a direct debit is to my bank manager. But fear not, Gamma. For when the world seems dim, when the sharp edges of our minds risk going dull in the tropical sun, we always have this little corner of cyberspace… a sacred circle of scattered madmen and misplaced academics… keeping each other just intelligent enough to feel superior to the world around us, and just self-aware enough to realise it no longer matters. Long may we grumble. Long may we whinge. And long may we cling to these final scraps of smug intellectualism, even if it’s just to make ourselves feel special while ordering noodles. With utmost reverence, Another proud curator of useless knowledge

Do Foreign Men Often Move to Thailand Because They Can’t Get Women Back Home?
Probably not much of an issue. They've got pills for that now.

Current Status of Thailand's Cannabis Law Changes
If you can get a photocopy of the business license or registration document from the vendor you buy your weed from, it might be useful to keep it on hand. Just in case you are ever questioned, you can show that you purchased it from a legally registered source. At the top of the Thai business license document, you will usually see their business license number issued by the Ministry of Public Health. These licenses are typically valid for one year and will say something along the lines of: “License to Sell and Prepare Controlled Herbal Medicines for Commercial Purposes According to the Act on the Protection and Promotion of Thai Traditional Medicine Wisdom B.E. 2542 (1999).”

Yeah, you probably don't have much to worry about over there. Especially if you live in a detached home. I think people living in cities or in apartments or condos are at greater risk of pissing off their neighbors.

Current Status of Thailand's Cannabis Law Changes
Flushing good weed down the toilet??? That's a crime in itself! 😂 When they decriminalized it in June 2022 they let something like 3,500 people out of the prisons in Thailand for cannabis related offenses. I doubt if they really want to go back to filling the prisons with weed offenders again. The prisons are already overloaded. Time will tell, but I suspect enforcement will mainly be limited to fines and confiscation.

I don't think size matters in this case. One of those rare instances in life where it doesn't. If the smoke from even a few hits from a joint on a regular basis is enough to upset neighbors, perhaps you could have a problem.

I don't think it's legal. I think it's considered a concentrate or an extract which is not legal unless prescribed by a doctor. Just like gummies, cookies, vapes, etc. All technically illegal. I think enforcement on edibles has already started though. I think I read something about shops already being raided for selling edibles.

Current Status of Thailand's Cannabis Law Changes
The public nuisance rule has been in place since the day cannabis was decriminalized. That part is not new. There has always been a 25,000 Baht fine for smoking in public or non-designated areas if someone files a complaint. So far, I have not seen any reports of anyone actually being fined. That could obviously change, but I suspect in major nightlife areas where plenty of people smoke openly, it likely will not be heavily enforced. Still, I would tread carefully just to be safe.

Current Status of Thailand's Cannabis Law Changes
It seems 30 grams is the maximum allowed per prescription purchase, but the law does not clearly state any possession limits. It is still a gray area. Many people likely stocked up before the law changed, so plenty are sitting on six to twelve month supplies. We will have to wait and see how it plays out. So far, there have been no reports of arrests for possession, so no need to panic yet. If things do start to tighten up and you are concerned, worst case you can always flush it. I would not stress until at least the sixty day grace period ends at the end of August, which was probably intended to let shops clear out existing stock. For now, you can still walk into any Sukhumvit weed shop and buy as much as you want, so everything is still in flux. At the end of August there could also be some additional delays made on enforcement too. It's all a coin toss right now.

Correct. Most likely if you aren't smoking in public you won't have problems. But there is always the risk of a disgruntled neighbor filing a report with the police if you smoke at home and the smoke bothers them.

Current Status of Thailand's Cannabis Law Changes
Yes, I haven’t seen any official announcements on this yet. Maybe as long as you have a medical certificate and the amount you hold is clearly for personal use, not large enough to suggest resale or export, it should not be a problem. But who really knows. We will only know for sure if they start cracking down and making arrests based on possession amounts.

Thailand Eyes Zero Tariffs on US Goods to Nix Trump’s 36% Levy
Import duties are tariffs, so these would be reduced to 0 percent. However, VAT would still apply to all goods, and excise taxes would continue on items like alcohol, tobacco, sugary drinks, and luxury goods such as cars, boats, cosmetics, watches, jewelry, and luxury bags.

Do Foreign Men Often Move to Thailand Because They Can’t Get Women Back Home?
Oh wow, totally mind blowing stuff. Silly me, thinking welfare was actually a safety net meant to help people in tough financial situations from falling through the cracks and not knowing it's really some secret plot to control women’s desire to have sex. Turns out welfare is actually just an evil masterplan to prevent men from getting laid. I guess I have been totally living in the dark my entire life. How could I be so naïve? The notion that women would naturally want to have sex is completely ludicrous. Thank you for opening my eyes, truly enlightening, mate.
