Your too late in my younger years I did my fair share of smoking up in Katmandu. You don't lose control but you are not in control.

When did I say I am a hater? Just don´t want every Somchai to cramp my style. ????

Comparing it to crack is kind of hating , and if that's not hating then you must be a bit of a crack lover to ???

it was legal and used for HUNDREDS of years, till the same people that bring you vaccines, big pharma, vilified it... as it cuts too much into their profits

 

according to a recent documentary on Netflix weed was banned in the US because white women were becoming a little too friendly with the "locals" at jazz clubs (notorious for weed smoking) around the country. basically it was banned for racist reasons.

 

once Thailand became a recognised major exporter globally, US pressure forced Thailand to ban it as well!

 

the irony is, most of the US has now decriminalised it for recreational use.. and Thailand still hasn't got the memo!!

Yes, soon the whole society will sit with a pipe in their mouth. Great job. What´s next? Crack pipe? I heard that also make people relax. Almost to the stage of half unconsious.

actually booze causes more harm than all the other drugs combined, but since it's a big moneymaker and huge numbers are addicted, it's given a pass lol..

a thing of the past and thats where it should stay, but as Thailand seems to not want to embrace the last 40 years of dutch and american hybrids and reinvent the pot wheel, it may make an unwelcome comeback

Possibly a factor, but that may not have been the root cause:

 

Quote

Shortly before marijuana was banned by The Marijuana Tax Act of 1937, new technologies were developed that made hemp a potential competitor with the newly-founded synthetic fiber and plastics industries. Hemp's potential for producing paper also posed a threat to the timber industry (see New Billion-Dollar Crop). Evidence suggests that commercial interests having much to lose from hemp competition helped propagate reefer madness hysteria, and used their influence to lobby for Marijuana Prohibition. It is not known for certain if special interests conspired to destroy the hemp industry via Marijuana Prohibition, but enough evidence exists to raise the possibility.

 

(And recently everything seems to be "for racist reasons"...)

One thing that might get the tourists back is 'weed' cafes. Let's turn Thailand back to 1960s Amsterdam ????

Exactly.  Then try to obtain CBD oil and you're treated by Thai doctors as though you've asked them to prescribe a vile of morphine instead of a bottle of cannabis oil devoid of THC.

That is PRECISELY what the Cannabis Clinic doctor in Pranburi hospital told me two months ago. He offered to give me monthly morphine injections for back pain but said cannabis (THC) is only for dying people. 

I lost it. I told him he was crazy and walked out. He didn't blink. 

 

I've since found that THC oil is readily available, legally and openly, at a shop in Bangkok. Just search appropriately on Google maps and it jumps out at you. Hangnail? Headache? All comers welcome , no exam needed. 

 

This is often a very confusing culture to navigate. 

But that's half the fun, right? 

Right? 

Right?

Wait. What am I saying?

Of course you were sitting, or sprawling at least.

Did you lick the sticks too?

Does this CBD or THC oil relieve pain without one getting high?

Well I don't know about you, but every time I smoked crack I didn't do it for relaxation.

If so it's certainly not the right wing conservatives doing it. I've always thought joint sessions of congress are a grand idea.

Depends on the individual. To be safe (or at minimum pleased with the outcome) choose THC. ????

And furthermore I never ended up half unconscious. Nor anyone else I knew.

 

It's the other drugs that make you do that. ????

No.One needs to rise above the pain which necessitates getting high!
