Thai's do not know how much the new hybrid strains of weed stink. They are also much more addictive.  You will smell the stench of weed everywhere in Toronto or Vancouver. This is big issue in shared living spaces such as condos or apartments. Imagine growing up with the stench of weed everyday.

Try hiring someone you will see the problems with weed addicts. Bad news for young people in school too.

While i agree that marijuana should not be a serious crime, we have to be careful not to flip flop on the issue. The government needs to educate people on the negative aspects of drugs use as well as set bounders for the use of marijuana.

There has no increase in drug addiction in Canad but there has been an increase in people coming forward for help and treatment. Prohibition does not suppress illegal drug use but stimulates it because of the profit free for all.

I can't see any good comes out of it at all, yes, for medicinal purposes yes by all means, but for recreation and other activities this is a step backwards...

You do know that this is the 21st century, yes?

Yes you could "obtain" it if you want, but still, who need more harmful substances adding to our everyday wows already? dose anyone want to see it sold like in 7/11 or your Bic C? what good will it do other than to get high? expect of course for medicinal purposes that i have said already...

I'd love seeing it sold at 7-11 and big C. I'd like to be allowed to grow my own too.

You don't have to smoke it. You can cook/ bake it or use oil extracts

Bah humbug. Everyone I've ever met who toked did fewer other drugs, especially alcohol.

correct, the old thinking of cannabis as entrance drug has been widely rejected by the scientific/medical community through several studies

They shut the pubs and clubs and decriminalize pot.

Got no time druggys like you trying to justify your filthy habit. 

Your wasting your time posting me.

 

 

I thought about reporting your spurious accusation....but then I thought it would be better to leave it up so people can read your posts and judge for them selves.

 

I neither smoke nor drink and I refuse to even take a paracetamol when in pain. There is little doubt that you ingest more drugs than I do. I don't even drink coffee.

But I know many who do take paracetamol, use cannabis, drink alcohol etc. Knowing them doesn't mean that I am them.

 

But it means that I can discuss what I know from my observations.

 

One thing that shines through all of this, is how erudite the supposed 'druggies' explanations here.

Whereas yourself....

Yeah in my life I've seen three sinario's in the use of it 2 that lead to bad things and one that was comfort for someone with multiple Seroses.

Shocking, frankly. 

I would happily have a two way conversation with an intelligent 'druggie', than to waste my time trying to converse with someone whose brain activity appears to have come to a dead end.

Each to their own.  I respect your opinion.  But personally, I'd rather be around people only smoking pot that people who are only drinking.  The difference in aggressive energy is massive.  Alcohol and crimes of violence tend to share common ground, as do marijuana and a good pizza.  ????

I don't smoke cannabis in Thailand because of the illegality.
The crime ain't worth the time in a Thai prison or putting my Thai family in jeopardy by getting kicked out over something as ludicrous as enjoying some cannabis.
Instead it's been an occasional drink.  If they decriminalize it?  Then I'll have an occasional spiff.  I'll leave the drinking to others.  It works wonders for insomnia and no hangover.
As you stated, everyone is welcome to their opinion.

The irony here; is that cannabis would almost certainly help him with his anger issue.

Now that is strange. I am actually defending people like your friend's brother and you appeared to attack me for it!

Not once did I mention smoking in my posts. I wrote about people with ailments. Cannabis is good for more than just MS. In fact I mentioned an MS sufferer in one of the 'coffee shops' in Amsterdam.

I told you about acquaintance with other ailments. Mental health is not something to be ignored. In fact I notice that you get angry very quickly and almost for no reason. Cannabis can help with that in some circumstances. I know, as at least two acquaintances suffered similarly and I saw the difference in them.

 

No offence, but you are likely old and conditioned into certain ways of thinking. 

 

You decided to ignore all of the positive things with which you agree, in order to attack me for something that exists only in your mind. I don't smoke anything at all; but yet you tried to label me a 'druggy'. 

 

As you wrote earlier; it a waste of time writing to you at all. Because until you actually know and feel the benefits, you will always be in the dark. Lashing out, in your case.

 

Was recently chatting with one of my old friends. A musician who does up motorbikes on the side for a living. Has a big family, drives a Mercedes and has a nice motorhome. But likely he smokes sometimes. How is he any different from you? You are some great guy because you only drink alcohol and take man made drugs and he is a bad guy because he eschews man made chemicals?

 

Free yourself from your tyranny.

Absolute nonsense, people that smoke weed or eat edibles aren't taking fentanyl

Weed regardless of it's strength or percentage of THC is not addictive in any way, shape, or form, reefer madness was a long time ago

The dispensaries I've been in seem to be more geared to edibles, CDB oils and relaxation therapies rather than the smokable versions.

I have not smelt any weed in the air in Edmonton, or Vancouver.

I have smelt Tabaco which I find more annoying

You're against it, OK, your decision. Go yell at some clouds or whatever makes you happy.

The war on drugs was a complete and total failure and a huge step backwards.

Canada would have legalized pot many years ago, if it weren't for an annoying neighbor we have

 

This current Thai leagilizing pot will turn into a typical Thai exercise, lots of announcements and schemes planned but nothing will really change.

Until you can buy this, it's just talk. $27.95 CDN for 3.5gm. Lasts me darn near a month. A puff before bed and sweet dreams.

YMMV

Always nice to have options ????.

They might legalise cannabis aka; Hemp which is Max 0.3% THC, But Marijuana a completely different strain of plant with higher levels of THC has never been on the books, and IMHO this bunch of fools have no idea of the difference's between the two.

Maybe they could kick-start your drug education idea (Just say no?) in prisons here, where the incarceration rates are staggering, mostly low-level users of methamphetamines.

Not your business to be against what others wish to do with regards to such basic freedoms. Ignorant Puritans throughout the ages have tried to control people causing misery at the same time creating corruption and injustice. The most vociferous anti drug campaigners are those who haven't tried drugs or those who are foolish enough to believe the extremist lies and propaganda told to them.

I happen to believe if you have ever used cannabis you will not have a need for other drugs.

 

 

I totally agree with this. Edibles are my favorite way of ingesting weed. Sadly, until it's legal, I only indulge when I am in Cambodia.

Basically, people who smoke weed all day, every day, are a-holes. They are high all the time and could care less about other people.  They are not good students or workers. They are not good friends or family. How could they be? They are high all day!  They are even in denial that that they are addicted, even though they need to smoke from morning to night.

The reality is that 20%+ or more people who try marijuana or alcohol will become addicted. To say that it leads to harder drugs is not untrue either. We have a government for a reason. We need someone in charge to protect people from dangers, to educate and guide. Libertarian is anarchy and only childish people think this is an answer to society.

Nah...Quite the opposite actually..You are just a victim of propaganda. But even it  were true what defines good students and workers. Your narrow  perception based on old model of industrial needs is a very old  fashioned model. It's the feudal slave lord of the manner model. Addicted? what does  that even mean? Lots of people are habituated to doing stuff but so what? Most people do  drugs then stop. It's a temporary  thing and  does less damage than  prison.  All of what  you say is predicated on false judgemental assumptions based on interference in other people's lives. Especially  seeking to control what you don't understand. The consumption of recreational drugs has been historically,  beneficial for the  growth and development  of humankind. The attempt to control the pursuit of oblivion has always  stemmed from the control and fear of corrupted morality and sick religious paternalism.

Here in Thailand edible THC is available legally and certificated forms. I have visited two government cannabis clinics one in Pattaya and one in Bangkok. As well as providing you with THC it's presence in your  system and the government  medical  certificate act as 'cover'.

Humans have been smoking the wacky tobaccy for over 2500 years, they'll probably be okay.

I am "addicted" to Losartan. It's a blood pressure medicine that keeps my BP within reasonable parameters and allows me to be stroke-free. There is no difference between "addiction" and depending on a drug to do the job for which it was intended.
