    Which was how it was supposed to be from the start..

    until Anutin decided to be Mr Popularity among the public by letting every man and his Soi dog grow it, process it, smoke it and eat it.

    Do you not understand how this works? I don't think you do..

     

    Medical is just a cover for recreational use. It always has been. It's akin to entering through the back door, rather than the front door.

     

    In every medical weed jurisdiction there are plenty of doctors willing and able to sign prescriptions for use of cannabis.

     

    Even if Thailand reverts to a medical cannabis approach there will still be dispensaries and growers.  I don't think they are going to do that though, because the world's nations are opting to go straight to recreational cannabis, taking law enforcement completely out of the picture. And the lawmen are ok with that.

     

    Which is not to say that there aren't legitimate medical uses. But the vast majority of medical users are just getting buzzed, because that's the cover story.

    bigger shops definitely know what the .99% coins and buillions are, they melt them down to use in their gold

    This what happened in that famous gold shop in Yaowarat. First he was deeply suspicious that I was trying to scam him.. Put a blow-torch on the coin to check malleability, did the rub test. When he agreed to buy the one coin, he gave me the money. But while I was still standing in front of him he picked up some shears and cut the coin in half. I was shocked. Then I said you have defaced my Queen and ruined the coin. He replied that he sold gold, not coins.

  3. The Thai gold bars are only sell-able in Thailand, otherwise you will be paying assay charges.

     

    I believe Swiss assay bars are available.

     

    I made the mistake of bringing several Maple Leaf coins to Thailand..shops had problems with the math. Thai gold 92% (?). Maple Leaf coins 99.99%. Krugerrand coins 94%

     

    Shops would not pay the premium for coins..

    I'd guess if while on a tourist visa a person got busted with any amount of weed or even had it in their system they'd be up for some fines and lots of hassles.

    Well you would guess wrong.  ????

     

    Nobody is getting busted with any amount of weed. No roadside pee tests are being administered. This includes tourists.

     

    I hope this makes you feel better about using cannabis in Thailand.

    OMG, only in Thailand. The rest of the world is legalizing but the Thai government is propagating reefer madness, right out to the 50's. Pathetic.  

    No.. the Thai Government has legalized cannabis. It's the opposition party (s) that are trying to scare a few extra votes their way..

     

    The Thai government is not unaware of the growing (????) number of governments that have either legalized already or have strongly signaled their intent to do so in the very near future.
