Note to Brexiteers.

 

You haven’t put a stop

to globalization.

 

You’ve simply chosen to be its vassal.

Globalization is a fantasy for middle class, white "Liberals" (Liberal in the Woke sense of the word, not the classic sense).

The rest of the world laughs at it. Rightly so.

The OP is a post from GB news, they need to be a tad parochial in their coverage in order not to confuse their target audience. 
 

 

As I said, interesting that such a headline would be selected for the OP given the fact that the ban applies to all EU countries, plus Canada, US, Japan and Australia (and the UK).

I will forgive your snide comments towards GB News and it's viewership, given their political leanings and rapidly growing success.

Interesting that the title focuses on the ban on sales to the UK when in fact the ban is for all countries abiding by the price cap, which is the G7, EU and Australia ????.

An investigation is not possible without robust and in depth vaccine studies that take years and are already in process. A political witch hunt helps nobody.

Why put politics ahead of the health of the citizens? What are you so afraid of being discovered?

The plot thickens.

It appears that EU Parliamentarians were colluding with Moroccan spies.

Looking forward to more news about this as the investigation continues into next year.

Correct. I am not aware of age restrictions regarding cannabis sale or consumption. What law exactly is that?

 

Think? What does the law say?

 

What “basic laws”? You didn’t mention any such laws. And your Wikipedia article (which I don’t necessarily consider a proper source for legal questions anyway) also doesn’t mention any such laws. 

Well you are aware now. 20. 

The age is 20.

It's in the Wiki article here seeing as you missed it.

And if you don't beleive Wiki it's also clear in these 2 articles.

So Cannabis is not "for the most part" legally the same as stones or fresh air. It's complete different in fact.

I meant what I wrote. It’s not my fault that you didn’t read what I wrote. 

 

I didn’t write that’s is like a stone or fresh air. I wrote that “For the most part, Cannabis has the legal status of stone or fresh air”.

 

According to what law exactly? I am not aware of any such age restrictions. 
 

Not sure why I would spend time at the police. But thanks, and indeed there are great Thai lawyers, some of which I work with on a daily basis. Provides a different perspective about the legal system in Thailand than the barstool nonsense that’s being parroted by some farangs. 
 

 

You're not aware of age restrictions? You think 7 year olds can legally buy and use Cannabis in Thailand? ???? I think you're confusing it with stones and fresh air again.

I'm not surprised you need lawyers on a daily basis if such basic laws escape your attention (even when the answer was in the link I provided). 

A very poorly written UK hit piece by some random publication.

Not sure how this qualifies as World News.

I would let my lawyer do that if I think there’s reason for it. 
 

I wrote “for the most part”.

 

No, that’s not correct. The law doesn’t say anything about THC levels that can or cannot be smoked and it doesn’t say where it can be smoked. 
 

This would imply that you’re smoking in public, thereby violating laws against causing public nuisance. So I don’t understand why in such situation you would want to explain the legal status of weed to them, or why you would think that there’s reason to do so. The police would have arrested you for causing public nuisance, not because you have THC in your system. 

So what you really meant, is that it's nothing like a stone or fresh air ????.

The plant is fine, but yes there are laws regarding THC content for extracts. I don't believe such laws are in place for stone extract or fresh air extract? There are also age restrictions for Cannabis but not stones or fresh air as far as I am aware.

Enjoy that time at the police station with your lawyer. Thai lawyers are great, and really cheap too!! ????

I don’t think so (and anyway it’s not up to the police to interpret laws because that’s what courts do).
 

For the most part, cannabis has the legal status of a stone or fresh air. It’s simply a substance that exists and it’s not in any way regulated or even criminalized by laws. Minor exceptions are certain extracts as well as laws against causing public nuisance (which I don’t think even mention cannabis specifically but can be used against many different things including drinking in public). Put differently, there doesn’t seem to be anything in the law according to which you cannot sell, buy or consume cannabis. 

It shouldn't be up to police to interpret laws, but this is Thailand we are talking about so that is the reality. Feel free to argue with them about the exact text of the law while sitting at the police station but a bit of common sense and a knowledge of how Thailand works can avoid all that.

No it doesn't have the legal status of a stone. There are different rules surrounding the sale of flower vs extract for example. The levels of THC permitted, where it can be smoked etc. Try sparking up outside the police station on beach road, and when the Police come for you, reassure them it's the same legal status as a stone. Don't forget to report back how that went for you...

It would help if the Government (including Anutin) gave a CLEAR decision on if cannabis can be sold. Half the shops in town seem to be advertising joints for sale.

I think the law is reasonably clear but leaves enough wiggle room for the police to interpret it in a way to benefit themselves.

Common sense would be the best policy. A couple of joints in your own home while not bothering anyone will be fine. Spark up while walking down Pattaya's beach road with a ghetto blaster on your shoulder and your Bob Marley vest on and expect a few hours at the police station and a fine. 

I purchased some (for medicinal purposes) on Tuesday night from a shop on Sukhumvit 23. They offered me a branded bag to carry it in but I declined and put it in my bag before heading to the bar for a beer. Yes it is legal, but if you flaunt it then expect problems.

No, it’s not. 

 

Answered all these yesterday, twice- though the second time you posted this list it was removed by a moderator…

 

I am defending no one, just asking you to provide evidence for your claims. I made my views on racism very clear yesterday, so convincingly you changed your stance on exposing racist behaviour. 
 

Where have I said I look up to MM or this individual who is not part of this topic as far as I can see. Deary me, and you accuse others of gaslighting.
 

‘Tis to laugh. 

I've provided evidence. 2 provable lies. One exposed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and one admitted by the couple themselves. Hard to get more evidence than that. Just because you pretend to ignore it makes no difference to it's existence.

I changed my stance on nothing, you're making things up again ????.

Anyway, your gaslighing is getting boring. I abhore racism, which is one reason I dislike Harry. I dislike liars, which is one reason I dislike Markle. I have no time for gaslighting either.

Yes, it's been a big plus for the UK economy. You've made some ridiculous comments in your time, but this one has got to be up there in the top 10.

I said UK taxpayers money is no longer diverted to the EU. Don't misquote me.

You should alert the Belgium police. I'm sure that they are keen to gather as much evidence as possible. 

 

Can you share any of your evidence on a public forum?

I've posted about 10 links in this thread already. Would you consider suitcases of cash as evidence? How about confessions?

Piers Morgan claims are opinion from a person with a very public grudge against MM. They are not evidence her intent is lieing in order to trash her family/the British public as you claimed. 
From the article 

 

“In an explosive chat on US TV, Piers defended the royals – and said a total of 17 of the claims made in the interview are either untrue, inflated or impossible to prove.”

Again I asked you to prove she lied and her intent was to trash her family and the British public as you claimed. That article does not do this. 
 

Opinion panels are not evidence. I asked for evidence…still waiting. 
 

 

 

 

You have evidence. The wedding story. Ignore the others all you like. One is enough anyway. It's like saying you didn't kill someone because you only fired one shot ???? .

They admit their own lies, even if you don't. Here is another provable lie.

https://meaww.com/it-wasnt-a-blind-date-prince-harry-meghan-markle-slammed-lying-how-they-first-met

Here are 3 provable facts for you.

1. Meghan is a liar - proven

2. Harry embarked on racist behaviour - proven

3. No racism has ever been proved in the Royal Family (except Harry).

Why are you so intent on defending liars and racists? Very odd. Strange people to look up to. Do you idolize the proven liar Jussie Smollett as well?
