  1. stringent rules requiring medical professionals to oversee cannabis sales, with these changes set to take effect by the year's end. five months from now IF IF IF it actually happens...i plan to take a big puff and hold my breath.
  2. sure stand up and likely you are a foot taller with six inches or so of reach and a lot bigger...and then you get surprised when the little thai guy jumps up and kicks you in the head....
  3. I don't know but if the supply is as huge as i suspect and if it starts to mold then i would guess it will be sold at whatever price is necessary as most would rather have something than nothing. I am not convinced that in the end the current efforts to decimate an industry will end up being more than a lot of hot air. Seems to be a lot of that floating around among various "lawmakers" these days.
  4. just try and imagine how many growers have pounds and pounds of pot already grown and ready for sale...then imagine the govt actually does restrict sales, close most shops, and cause drastic drop in demand. There are many Thais who over the past couple of years have invested in and learned how to grow good weed. Will they all say oh never mind I will destroy all my equiptement and turn in all my existing supply to the cops? I don' t think so. Pot does not have an infinite shelf life so what will the growers do with all the excess product? Hmmmm...my bet is it will go out into the black market and prices will plummet and put most of the "legit" shops out of biz. Who will go to a legit shop and pay prices way higher than they can buy on the street? Like weed it does get a little sticky and bit more complicated to put genie back into the bottle.
  5. one more thing to put into the IF, WHEN, PROPOSED, SUGGESTED, box along with all the rest that either never happened or were never enforced or in other words...."nevermind". My guess is that since weed was legalized that there are a ton of Thais who have learned how to grow really good pot . I doubt they will hang up their garden gloves now. Even now with weed stores everywhere there are still lots of "pop up" night sellers all over the place selling their home grown off of a little table on the sidewalk. One I know is within spitting distance of a big police station and they don't seem to be too worried. I suppose if necessary they could add "doctors prescriptions" to their product line.
  6. Here's a breakdown of the authority for deploying the National Guard during the January 6th events: The President (or his designate) ultimately has the authority to deploy the D.C. National Guard. In this case, the authority was delegated to the Secretary of the Army. The Capitol Police Board has the authority to request National Guard assistance. This board is comprised of the House Sergeant at Arms, the Senate Sergeant at Arms, and the Architect of the Capitol. The Capitol Police Board initially decided against calling the Guard before the insurrection but did request assistance once the riot began. D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser also requested aid from the National Guard. In summary: While Pelosi, as House Speaker, and then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell were part of the process through their appointments to the Capitol Police Board, they did not have the direct authority to deploy the National Guard. The final decision rested with the President or his designated representative within the Department of Defense. How nice of Trump to give pardons to all those antifa "plants"....
  7. Yes both are a black mark....but which is worse? I pick a violent insurection whose mission was to overthrow the government along with threatening to kill the vice president and speaker of the house.
  8. Maybe do a five second google search...but i highly doubt that facts will convince the cult. https://apnews.com/article/fact-checking-235651652542
  9. Jan 6 hundreds of thugs storming the capital, beat cops, sprayed them with bear spray, threaten to hang pence, stop the counting of votes and force senators to run and hide in fear....Trump did not call out national guard. Sat on his fat rear and watched it on TV. Nothing to see there. Move on. Oh wait there's more. After many trials and guilty convictions as well as guilty pleads Trump gives them all a blanket pardon. California protest? Send in the troops, the guard and declare an insurection. Arrest the governor and lock him up. Says it all.
  10. but if it is us or euro etc credit card i would guess rates are controlled by issuing country? frankly i don't know many people who have thai credit cards and even if u did would you have a high credit limit? i do not know.
  11. it happened in nong khai not pattaya...not that makes it ok but pattaya has plenty of it's own stories without taking over things that happened hundreds of km away
  12. Meantime mr red bull continues to be beyond apprehension by the courts, the government, the police, for a decade or so. Obviously Taksin is not only one to receive "special" treatment. "
  13. Back in usa at the moment in one of the most expensive cities. Always interesting to read the posts complaining about how expensive pattaya now is....LOL....you want to see expensive go to a bar a restaurant or a grocery store in a big american beach resort town and it will quickly open your eyes as to how inexpensive pattaya is in terms of hotels, transport, beers/bars. food, and entertainment. I can go into supermarket here and walk around looking at prices and actually sort of bust out laughing at many of the prices. Same with bars and restaurants. Are there some expensive prices in Pattaya...yes for sure if you insist on buying imported stuff or eat western foods? Sure there are. But the cost of living in a nice condo, eating at all kinds of good restaurants with local foods and being able to have a nice cold beer for a couple of dollars then hop on a 10 baht transport ? No comparison at all. Pattaya is still an inexpensive place IF you are not a two week millionaire type....and like most anywhere if you want to get the attention and affection of some hot young babe it is going to cost you a lot generally but even that is cheaper than a hot babe in USA. Pattaya expensive? It's all relative but in my world it is a great bargain.
  14. Yes two better choices would be: Adage: This is a proverb or a concise statement that embodies a general truth or piece of advice. Aphorism: A tersely phrased statement of a truth or opinion; an adage.
