Wasn't that the whole point of the coup? To ensure that the people of Thailand are never allowed to get in the way of the bloodsucking of the nation's money and control by a tiny elite ever again. Hence why the courts were rebuilt with lackeys and the senate was created as it is now. And no discussion of the constitution was allowed before the so-called 'referendum.

Is a media tart who has made countless predictions and claims that have been wrong pretty much every time. He was also the man who loudly and continually supported the largely useless Chinese vaccines. His bank account might be worth investigating.

The incompetent, corrupt cup of congealed custard who has called himself PM of Thailand and little porky pig who has been his (dis)loyal equally corrupt lieutenant have both made this a priority several times in the past eight years. Why has this changed?

They are certainly not enforcing it on the Spanish routes. I’ve been in and out twice this year and they are mask free.

No sure many people particularly care about what Prayut thinks or advises, nor do they seem to care much about the things he wants them to care about.

The same police force that were given more powers to deal with road offences on 1 September, announced on the 4th they would delay implementation until 1 December to allow people to "get used to the new rules", then promptly forgot about them and hoped everyone else had. Clowns, the whole lot of them. But I guess when you have a broken, crooked and corrupt "civilian" government, having a force of equally corrupt clowns to underwrite your rule is important.

Not if it’s Chang, Leo or Singha.

I have no issues at all with True and haven't for 13 years. Their service is blisteringly fast here (close to 1gbps) and if I call them they respond immediately.

Somebody should give this nitwit a big spliff and tell him to chill. He'll do himself some damage getting so worked up about the horrors of a plant he clearly doesn't understand at all.

Does Joe know this? (20 years gone today).

Nobody has. This is classic 1930s level Reefer Madness paranoia from clowns who really have no idea what's going on. Festering behind their desks, letting their limited imaginations get the better of them.

Seems like a bit of a self-important nitwit. It's extraordinary how a select group of Thai professionals and doctors have access to data on this plant that has eluded the rest of the planet for decades. Maybe they should put their super-powers to better use, sorting out corruption, saving lives on the roads and so on.

Bar owner in one well known BKK entertainment suburb showed a few of us the rate card for staying open a few years back. The cops had actually felt secure enough to print it.

Nobody loses ships and planes quite like the Thai military. Then we have their Vietnam war experience where they refused to fight and set up a massive blackmarket instead. A military friend who has liaised with the Thai army in recent years, including Cobra Gold, said they were universally regarded as hopeless.

The change of that ever happening is up there with reliable Immigration software, working mine detectors and the police moving away from hotmail addresses. They can't even get the post office online with the banking system for QR payments unlike any street vendor these days.

Thailand has something like that already, or at least Bangkok does. The post code 10XXX then the house code xx/xx where the first number is the block within that post code and the second is the house within that block.

You really think a) these kids are paying the prices charged by the legal outlets?, and b) this plant was not widely and easily available everywhere before the decriminalisation? Kids have been able to get their hands on this without issue since forever. Think about it. It's not rocket science.

It was widely available before, just hidden. Do you really think these kids are paying hefty dispensary prices for this?

Most of comments I've seen on social media have been from Thais saying that the parents are responsible. Still, if it satisfies your small minded self-righteous paranoia to see these kids possibly have their futures destroyed by jailing them in future years for doing something people all over the have done since forever and will do regardless of the law then I guess that's something you need to live with. The current law doesn't permit this but kids will be kids and the parents, at the end of the day, are the ones responsible here. Do you really think this didn't happen six months ago?

Not sure it really changes anything. You can't smoke ganja in the shop. It's been legally that way now for months, but not enforced. Now it is (briefly) enforced to satisfy the frothing ignorant paranoid moral guardians. Most people don't seem to care and can see there really isn't a problem.

Exactly. Where is the concern about paranoid old nitwits making up fictional ganja induced havoc on the roads?

You only need to read that data to understand that you are talking drivel. There are mild effects that result from use but generally far less damaging than countless other things. Coffee has similar side effects. And what right do self important old busy bodies like you have to tell other people what they can do with their own bodies?

How are things in the 1930s? Has Japan invaded China yet? Roosevelt been elected? I’ve know literally thousands of people who have smoked ganja for much of their lives and many are amongst the highest achievers I know. That link you posted refers to a long disputed and discredited NZ study for a start, and lists the mild symptoms of supposed marijuana addiction as: grouchiness sleeplessness decreased appetite anxiety cravings Most people get that from too much coffee or a bad night’s sleep. Enjoy your rewatchings of Reefer Madness.

I find drunk people annoying. We should completely ban alcohol.

About the same as before I'd imagine. Weed was everywhere.
