Popular Post gargamon Posted March 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 11, 2022 Just how much are they charging for the marijuana to generate that much tax? Canada, 3+ years after legalization, 1/2 oz(14 grams) starts around $60 CDN, or about $48 USD. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whichever, you wouldn't know you'd had any unless you smoked maybe 2kg per day - neat! Edited March 12, 2022 by KhaoYai 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bobbin Posted March 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 12, 2022 My position remains that we will have de-facto (decriminalization) recreational weed available after the 120 days since Cannabis "in all it's forms" was removed from the Narcotics Act and said change was published in the Royal Gazette. The .02% refers to extracts only. This is clearly stated in all Government communications to date. This is the same approach taken by Canada when extracts remained restricted for the first year after legalization. The following year that restriction was removed.. Read this article (originally posted by another member) carefully.. /www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2022/01/29/cannabis-remains-illegal-new-law-pushed/ The Justice Minister is choosing his words carefully, but it comes down to "not yet, until the 120 days has elapsed" As well, there is a supplementary act soon to come.. I think it will entertain the idea of sandboxes so that there is a step by step movement towards full availability.. Meanwhile, after the 120 days elapse, we are free to grow for personal use.. Could I be mistaken? Possibly, but I don't think so.. 5 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Health Minister says he wants people to grow it without requiring permission, like all other plants/herbs. It is only notification they are talking about, not permission to grow.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbin Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 IIRC, the official penalty for growing without notification is up to 20,000 Baht.. Since Grade A buds are currently available for 20,000 Baht/oz, I think the risk/benefit analysis is clear.. Will I be notifying as soon as i pop some seeds into a pot (555)? I think I'll be waiting a few months before I do that.. and that fits neatly into the grow cycle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I think the man has misplaced a few zeros he meant to say Billions in USD. Those must be some fat joints and 55 gallon drums of CBD oil he yes packaged......if this is so the fast food profits must also be soaring.

Yes it is. Cannabis is a genus of plant whereas marijuana, and hemp, usually refers to the flowers & buds of certain plants, but it is all the same thing according to Mr Bingle.

It's very expensive compared to the rest of countries with medical cannabis, the tinctures you get are not only more expensive but also of much less quality than the outside world. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

earlinclaifornia Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Thai stick. Back in the 70's this was the top demand of the all true connoisseurs. Legalising rope will never have anything close to that attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
