They took a huge risk going after a big time operator with 2.82 grams and a bong! At least they kept that massive 2.82 grams off the the street! I wonder how many lives they have saved! ???? 9 2 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Monday Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 My online reserach of legal cannabis sales in US has proven these are major players. They blew about 1/4 of their slice or "eighth" before the Police "pounced". Next year it will be legal, sold in boutiques and marketed as a tourist attraction just like USA. Meanwhile the Russian will be fleeced for the depths of his funds, locked in a pit, and maybe blacklisted. What a horrible man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emdog Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Headline about Russian man with huge cache " found him in possession of 2.82 grammes of marijuana and a bamboo bong." (category 5 drug) Why not the woman being main subject? "The report said that the woman was found with 950mg of crystal meth (ya ice), two pills of methamphetamine (ya bah) and a set of drug-taking equipment. Officers also seized as evidence a digital scale, a mobile phone, and a Yamaha Mio 125i motorbike, the report noted." (Category 1 drug bust) I suppose could be because this article was aimed at farangs, but there is also tendency to "farange bash" I've noticed over the years 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the police are anticipating additional charges for the Russian? From the link... "The report said that the woman was found with 950mg of crystal meth (ya ice), two pills of methamphetamine (ya bah) and a set of drug-taking equipment. Only 45 minutes later, the officers arrested the Russian man, who was found with 2.82g of marijuana and a bamboo bong...according to photos provided at the scene of the arrest, the Russian man and the woman were arrested at the same house".

polpott Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Just now, Hi Tea said: Farting in a lift isn't illegal. Smoking a bit of weed in your own home shouldn't be. Isn't in an increasing number of countries. Some say that Thailand will soon be in that number. It would certainly boost tourism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same way that tourism went through the roof in Amsterdam when the cannabis cafes became legal. You were referring to people smoking it in their own homes. There's no way that cannabis cafés are ever going to be legal here, no other countries have managed it, have they?
