What a shame, what a waste, cannabis never harmed anybody, in fact there's mounting evidence of it's medicinal properties.

They probably will use it for medical purposes... But if they burn it, I know a lot of Thais than want to come and see (and smell).......

I wanted to put in a clip with "Chese & Chong - Up in smoke" but I do not think The Thai government would appreciate.

wasting tax payers money for "arrest" who is carrying cannabis, which ie well known to have been used over 3000 years and its an excellent drug on several pathologies, such Parkinson, Diabetes, Cancer, Leukemia, and many more.

Countries shall stop to be voluntary or involuntary influenced by Big Pharmas, legalize the medical and recreational use of Cannabis, as well it will help to end the mafia behind the illegal trade.
