I bet you like the trailer park boys ???? 

Cheap dope is everywhere if you know how to plant a seed.

5,000bht for a HLG 240, $10 for one seed, and then the rest is free, as much as you want.

I'm not interested. Although I smoked dope most days from 15-35, I've quit , makes me paranoid.

Helps me sleep and reduces my arthritis (just a bit in my knuckles, mouse click finger is the worst). Was just pointing out cheap dope is available to everyone with a room and an electric supply, although they may have to wait 8-10 weeks. No need to move countries.

The newly amended Narcotics Code, which went into effect on December 9, lists neither cannabis nor kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) as illicit drugs. These herbs are now being touted for their huge potential in helping both patients and the Thai economy.

Can you share a copy of the changes made to NARCOTICS ACT B.E. 2522 (1979)?

 

Specifically Section 7, Category 5, which I am fairly certain EXCLUDES "buds or flowers", or any portion of the plant found to exceed 0.2 % THC by weight.

 

 (Yes, I'll stipulate that kratom and most portions of the cannabis plants have been removed.)

 

Happy to be proven wrong.

Better that than to move citizenship to a dictatorship and a useless passport.

 

And if you think, cannabis is legal now, try it out and report if the prison you're in has internet connection.

How sad a response, to attack me personally on a totally unrelated issue. 

I never said cannabis is legal, the OP did.

Weed not only makes me paranoid, but it also makes my thinking foggy.....

Some people weed effects badly,me being one of them... And some people seem ok with it

The sentence 'Let them eat cake' sprang to mind when I saw this thread.

it's true, the first "coffee shop" where you can smoke is now open at Pattaya...

Spot index as of today:

 

U.S. $2.86 (USD) per gram

Canada: $3.87 (USD) per gram

 

But these sorts of comparisons are silly, and hardly relevant to the topic.

Where are you gettiing that U.S. info? The Canada prices are amazing if true... but in California, the cheapest 1/8th ounces you can find from dispensaries are usually $35, making it $10 per gram. The dispensaries also don't like to sell whole ounces unless they are of some schwag they're trying to get rid of. Anything that's decent, they only greedily dole it out by eighths and give no breaks on ounces.

Where would that be? And what do they sell there? Their 02.%-THC of which you need a few kilos to get stoned?

Just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder...

 

Ministry will seek Unesco listing of Thai marijuana as an ‘intangible cultural heritage’

 

The Culture Ministry aims to ask Unesco to list Thai cannabis as an "intangible cultural heritage" as people from all regions use it like a herb while the Thai breed has become popular abroad, Dr Kwanchai Wisitthanon, deputy director-general of the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine, said on Thursday.

How can something that was outlawed for the last 42 years still be considered part of their culture?

Because behind the scenes of it being outlawed, like most things, the police never enforced the ban.

[Somrak]

In this case, the big money could only be made by outlawing!

Now the same "anti-drugs" Mafia will start the plantation of 1000 of Rai weed.

But as nearly in everything, they are many years to late! :‐()

Regarding Kratom.  Lord.  It's a nothing-burger.  Why have they been throwing citizens in prison all these years?

the coffee industry.
it literally is as strong as tea or coffee

they are about to ban it in Indonesia as Kratom farmers are making too much money exporting to the US
i expect some big players here are already prepared to replace the indo suppliers
hence why it has become legal, once you try it,
there really is no reason it should been banned to start with
