Similar situation in my condo. They put no weed/no smoking sign in the elevator.
I've been smoking on my balcony long before it became legal and never got any complain.
Recently, a neighbor complained to management, they contacted me and I told them that it wasn't me.Where am I supposed to smoke if I can't on balcony ? inside ? It will be way worse and smell will go in the common area.
Anyway, I doubt they can do anything unless they can prove I smoke on my balcony (innocent until proven guilty).
I'm not a huge smoker (only smoke 1 or 2 joint every evening and during the weekend) and I'm careful where I exhale the smoke.
Balcony is fine.. these notices refer to public (common) areas. Your condo is private property and completely acceptable. That is my working theory.
Like you, I have been smoking on my balcony for years. Also like you, my consumption is not over the top.
As the OP, I note that the groups of young Russians that I believe were the reason for the signs in my building have resumed smoking in groups of 3-5 in larger common areas with no apparent consequences..
Thailand.

I wonder though, what price they will put on a life that was taken? knowing how compensations works in Thailand, Not much..
Under the old system, any foreign tourist’s family had access to approximately 1 million baht in case of their demise, courtesy of the Foreign Tourists Assistance Fund.

Thai people lower end like the farmers are losing out already to foreign influence from the likes of California and the corrupt police and officials enabling the imports of high end weed. Also plenty is being shipped here then rerouted to the countries like the UK. Weed is massive in the UK and still illegal. Plenty in Cali have become multimillionaires from UK importation. Now think of how many weed shops have popped up and high end ones as well, even outnumbering 7/11’s…are they full of people buying weed?
My guess is it’s all a front for importation licences for high end weed and bulk buying in Thailand of lower shelf and it’s being shipped off to the likes of the UK. This is all speculation of course.
You left out "pure"...
As in pure speculation..

Don't worry too much, we are just discussing stuff here...........????
As for the Firebird, the Pontiac 5.0 ltr turbo was a slug compared to its predecessors, if that is what it had, no turbo hood scoop on yours, the last incarnation of the second generation Firebird....????
But looked OK....????
Look for the turbo bulge more closely. It's there..
Paint had issues from the factory. After 1.5 years I had several shades of the colour. GM agreed to re-paint. right back to bare metal. I kicked in extra money to use Glasurit paint. Did not replace the "screaming chicken"
You are looking at 40+ year old paint job!
It was not as fast as the big block engines but not that much slower.. I actually wish I had bought a 2nd hand with the big engine and manual..but I wanted a new one.

The recriminalization seems to be gaining steam every day.
I predicted there was a good chance (85 - 95%) that recreational use would continue, I was definitely wrong.
Don't despair bamnutsak.. you have been a strong advocate of the righteous cause.
If this about-face ever comes to pass, Thailand will be the only jurisdiction in the world to walk back this progressive stance. That would be admitting they made a mistake. Do you think that is going to happen?
Not to mention, by the time this issue is being seriously looked at there will be several more governments, state and countries, who are moving in the right direction.
My feeling is that the law just needs some tweeking.. location of shops near schools for example. Efficient collection of VAT. Government has to have skin in the game..

transam... I'm starting to lose that good feeling for you (based on similar interests aside from your anti-pot stance) ..
Here is something to cheer you up..
I bought it new in 1981. Turbo, WS6 suspension package, all the goodies. I still own it.
Pictures are recent, when my brother had it out..

Gaslighting? You are the king of gaslighting when it comes to this topic.. What happened? Did your ex leave you for a stoner?
Your good buddy is a major grower? Why are you still friends? To you he must be a major bad dude.. Ah the humanity... so much mental illness.
Not but a few posts back you grudgingly accepted what many have told you in the previous (and numerous) interactions with people.. Ganja flower is legal. Consuming it is legal.. if you are not pregnant or under 20.

Here is what is being overlooked..
By the time Thailand gets around to "normalizing" the cannabis industry some months down the road..
Germany will have legalized recreational cannabis, by the end of this year. Guaranteed. Done deal. This is important because Germany is influential for Europe, which so far has been slow to reconsider cannabis policy.
The FDA in America has just advised that it supports re-scheduling of cannabis from category 1 to category 3. Category 3 has minimal restrictions. This is relevant because the DEA in America answers to the FDA and have already seen which way the wind is blowing. Most American states now have legal weed.
When the Thai government sees that they will be giving up a policy which reflects well on their progressive approach, and sets them off in the opposite direction, they will make a few common-sense adjustments.. that do not cripple the new income source..

19 hours ago, OG Thai said:We understand the skepticism surrounding the use of "top shelf" to describe popcorn-sized cannabis. Traditionally, the term is associated with large, visually impressive buds. However, it's important to note that size is not the only measure of quality. Our grading system considers multiple factors like potency, aroma, and flavor.
For us, labeling something as "popcorn" clearly sets the expectation for bud size, while all other quality grading methods still apply. There's a significant difference between popcorn buds from an outdoor or greenhouse grow and those from an indoor grow. If these smaller buds offer an experience that is on par with their larger, top shelf counterparts in terms of effects and presentation, we believe it's fair to label them as "top shelf" as long as the size difference is made clear.
Uh no..
You know enough to know that "popcorn" buds are the small buds on the lower branches. Also the small buds on the interior of the plant.
These popcorn buds have lower THC levels.
I have communicated with you before on your non-transparent pricing.. Advertise, for example, 150/gm, but looking more closely you see that it's actually 200/gm individually. The 150/gm requires larger orders.
This is basically unfair and you are an outlier for using this pricing policy, which is why I won't buy from you on principle.

Deflection with alcohol is irrelevant.
You are, of course, free to believe what you want to believe
Yes I saw you lurking and knew you would be reacting..
Alcohol is not a deflection. The argument is the same, only the intoxicant is different.. You have a drum and you want to bang on it.
Times change, attitudes change. You self-identified in another anti-cannabis post as gay. Shall we return to the attitudes towards gay people that were prevalent in my youth many decades ago?
Enough back and forth with you for today..

I am against legalizing recreational use of cannabis but not through ignorance.
Most users see their experience as a bubble, how it affects them, their lives, their friends, their relationships and work, and what they see is positive.
Typically, they will say there’s no such thing as CUD/addiction, there’s no such thing as violence or crime whilst under the influence. They say this because in their bubble of normality they never see it.
CUD/addiction IS a thing, it’s been identified by dozens of prestigious medical bodies and governments. It’s like saying I can drive perfectly well when drunk because I have done it dozen’s of times and never had an accident, that’s your “bubble of normality “.
I volunteered one day per week as a magistrate in the UK. I saw only the cases outside of a typical stoner’s “bubble of normality” and what I saw was horrific.
Lives & families ruined. I have been here almost 20 years now and my friend on the bench tells me that he is dealing with drug driving almost 100 times more often than alcohol now and people are being killed.
So yes, I am against recreational use of cannabis.
Nothing you have said negates what I posted.. In the interests of balanced discussion, you should be equally against the recreational use of alcohol, a socially accepted recreational "drug?". But you don't, because you would be crying in the wilderness..
With regard to your friend the magistrate, and his (your) assertion of 100 to 1 cases of impaired driving.... I am calling complete BS. You are entitled to your opinion (as am I), but you are not entitled to your own facts. Time to up your game JBCR.
The trend is your friend. Live your life as you wish, but stay the hell out of mine.

What JBCR and TransAm (who are frequent critics) and the others miss is the geo-political actuality..
As I have already posted in another thread, Germany will legalize recreational use by the end of this year. Guaranteed. Done deal. Big news for Europe, where Germany is very influential.
In USA, Cannabis has already been recommended to be rescheduled by the FDA, who have passed on the recommendation to DEA, who answer to FDA. Safe Banking Act will allow cannabis business the same access to banking and ability to write off expenses against income that all other legitimate business have..
These anti-cannabinates are simply the result of many years of moralistic propaganda, which is to be expected.

Re: Global Troublemakers- surely anyone with even half a brain knows that the worlds biggest troublemakers are America????
Fun Fact: i'm neither pro-Russia nor pro-Ukraine.
Well, anybody who is using their half-brain would realize the crucial difference TY...
Sure USA throws their weight around.. Are you surprised by that? People and Nations do that.. it helps get what they want.
But Russia, in all it's incarnations over the last 400 years, has a nasty habit of inviting themselves into their immediate neighbor's house and never leaving.. unless or until they are thrown out..
And that is the crucial difference.
This message is also for the few benighted souls on here (non-Russian) who try to play to the Russian audience here..

Here's the problem JBChiangRai..
You are posting in the Cannabis Forum. These special forums are setup for people who are not anti-cannabis. Use the General or similar forums to regurgitate every anti-cannabis propaganda you choose. Meanwhile, keep your thoughts to yourself.
Try going into the Gay forum and spouting anti-gay topics. You won't last long...

Rumored to have leased a lot of farming land in Laos ???????? to grow the stuff making himself even more wealthy.
Was holding a balance of power in the old government so they let his cannabis bill pass, yet it was only intended for medical use.
He hates dirty farangs, and blamed them for COVID, which was reported also in the UK press, he is minister of health with out qualifying in the profession.
Was arrested for drug offences in Australia but has been stated out side of Thailand so doesn't matter.
Saying it twice don't make it true..
It's always a good idea to get your facts straight before you say something that makes you look like you don't what you are talking about...
On the other hand it's good for a laugh... at your expense. ????

I was watching a talk by Jordan Peterson on You-tube a few days ago.. The "anti-woke" and "take responsibility for your own actions" guy.
He would like to ban alcohol..again. He says more than half of sexual offenders are drunk when they offend.. and about 50% of victims of sexual assault are drunk.
Those are "sobering" statistics.
