Anutin promises his marijuana plans will go as planned

By The Nation

 

 

Public Health Minister Anutin Charvirakul said that he had every intention to lift the restrictions on cannabis and allow it to be grown commercially, but said his plan had been delayed due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

 

The minister was speaking at a convention on hemp products in Nonthaburi province on Monday (August 31).

 

He said initially cannabis will only be used for medicinal purposes and it will be a controlled substance while the law is being considered.

 

Once approved, Thais who have medical certificates will be allowed to freely grow marijuana, while farmers can help extract cannabis oil to make cannabis products.

 

Several studies have revealed that cannabis extracts are not addictive and highly beneficial, and the ministry is making adjustments to the law to help cannabis growers, Anutin added.

The manifesto said that ganja would be allowed to be freely grown  every household could have 6 plants.

Cannabis may not be physically addictive......But dont even try and say it does not have the possibility to be mentally addictive....Sure some people have no problem with it but many people fall deep into a cannabis lifestyle.........I am judging it just speaking the truth.... 

They have the wrong person in charge of this, there is a Renown expert within the government...

Completely agree, My ex is addicted, claims it helps her control depression but the reality is she's a complete stoner who puts buying cannabis ahead of buying food for her and her children. She can't go through a day without smoking several joints and cannabis has increased her issues with mental/emotional health.

 

As for CBD oils, there is still no scientific evidence that it does anything to cure any illness although I do understand from some that have tried it that it can help reduce pain and aid sleep. 

This isn't the convicted heroin trafficker that did 4 years on the prison island of Australia?

Agree it’s not physically addictive but my mates that smoke it can’t function till they’ve scored enough for a week or so.

 

Small benefits for genuine health cases will result in a lazier youth and massive increase in lung cancers.

I thought going by the comments of the "knowledgeable" TVF community, each time dope is mentioned in a thread, that is a cure for every disease known to mankind.

 

Just wait a little, and they will be here again

Maybe you've been watching Reefer Madness... it's that kind of nonsense that has prolonged the disaster that is the War on Drugs.

  Addictive personalities can become psychologically addicted to anything, chocolate candy bars for example - shall we ban them?

Did you see that happen in palces where it has been legal? Do you have some sources or are these just your thoughts on it?

Will the dirty farangs be under the same law ?

Considering the very bad quality of what you (not me hm ????) find everywhere in Thailand, the bad compressed full of chemicals...

It would be a great news to be able to grow your (no no, not me i swear ????) own product, you would have access to a clean product that way (and only that way, no pharmaceutical extract, this millenaire plant has many components acting in synergy, not just THC or CDB).

 

For "those" talking about addiction, well let's start with booze and sleeping-anxiety pills... All legal. Most of all very addictive. Wikipedia has a good page about that, including social dangerosity.

That said i am not one to critic those who need booze or pills. I just know ganja is WAY less dangerous and much better for health. Looks like medecine finally has agreed after so many year of prohibition (still existing), thanks to the USA.

They're not just his thoughts.

  He has a lot of company.

  It's the Harry Anslinger/Prohibitionist mindset on full display.

Your a little off base. I financed one of the first head shops in Lancashire.

In Thailand, they sell oil, and so not smokeable weed extracts.

It is indeed smokable as I speak from personal experience.

Ok, I didn t know that. I thought they make oil to avoid people smoking it and to take it another way.  I learned something...

yikes everyone's an expert. too lazy to write much more.

Having it in oil form makes it easier to take orally.In the 70's there was lots of oil around,it was a bit thicker then and we called it hash oil and we smoked it then.Apparently there's something about the process of burning it which increases the effect hence making it more efficient though it may also make getting lung cancer more efficient,although my cousin died of lung cancer at the age of 41 and she never smoked anything.

So in addition to some of the worst drivers on the planet you are throwing in high drivers.  

 

These porcupines probably want to go tour a balloon factory next.

Marijuana tourism simply doesn't exist.  It did for a time in Europe, but it's long long gone.  Most potheads don't have much ambition (most).  

For a country that is going after "high end tourists", they seem to be going after the stinky backpacker begging crowd yet again.  

Dope and dopes.  Makes for a good thread even if dopes don't always do dope.  Hopefully many more pages of enjoyable/entertaining reading to come.

I am not in favor of prohibition. However, the persistent myth that pot is just a harmless little herb growing by the side of the road ,put there by God for the good of humanity is bulloney! But don't tell anyone who smokes; they get really <deleted>.  It is estimated that around 4 million people in the U.S. have problems with marijuana.  Compared to the 20 million regular users; that is around 20% who may have chronic problems. That figure is about comparable to those who have problems with alcohol and other drugs.

Anutin.............Where are your masks and social distancing that you insist the plebs under you wear and practice............

This herb is known for it's ' consciousness enlarging ' abilities .

And that is exactly what is desperately needed these days ...

It makes people think about what they are really doing , and if it is worth to do so ...

Don't have to be stoned all the time , but a tea from time to time helps a lot already .

People who like that are definitely more peaceful , and think twice before starting wars or other problems ...

Laugh about it , laughing is good for your ( mental ) health . 55
