A big marijuana trade fair and seminar in the north east of Thailand this week aims to bring happiness to the Thai people.

 

They could do with that after the country slipped down the world happiness rankings to languish in  61st. 

 

Health minister and DPM - and the biggest promoter of legal ganja and hemp products - Anutin Charnvirakul will be in Bung Kan on the Laos border to open the three day extravaganza tomorrow.

 

Region 8 health rep Dr Phuradech Surakhote told INN the education, trade fair and technical seminar will be promoted under the umbrella of "Ganja tourism - bringing joy next to the Mekong".

 

The happiness and joy is that Thais will be able to visit a great place for tourism and learn how to make tons of money growing weed, said the doctor.

All in a place that is perfect to grow marijuana. 

 

But INN's report indicated that no one will be getting high.

 

It's all about parts of the plant that don't have or have extremely low quantities of the chemical that makes recreational users high - THC. 

 

Keynote speakers from the medical, Food and Drug Administration and trade community  will address the event that runs from March 23rd to 25th in Muang District. 

 

Visitors will be able to try the products, shop and attend workshops about all aspects of growing marijuana for medicinal purposes.

(And maybe say less?)

I did notice the snack aisle at Big-C was unusually crowded yesterday

[JonnyF]

But is it really legal? The answer is clear.

It wouldn't  be because  of the plants being offered.  As they arent Stativa or Indica female plants with buds that are being allowed.  Only male plants with little to no good stuff in them.

I was referring to post "munchies"

Auntin and friends marijuana policy is a carrot in one hand and a hammer in the other.

The carrot:
Special people can grow marijuana for its oil and decratoive leave and then promotes Thailand as marijuana friendly.
The hammer:
Average commoners can't participate in growing even though they were promised a place at that table (6 plants per household), and then tourist are led to believe that marijuana is legal.
So the former gets the hammer if they try to grow for their personal use and the latter gets the hammer after eating marijuana topped culinary dishes and drinking marijuana tea or smoothies and then assume its ok to smoke marijuana.

"Returning happiness and income to the people" via marijuana isn't going to bring too much happiness to those who will be arrested for trying to participate in some of that "happiness" that Anutin knows is only reserved for Special-Connected Friends of Anutin.  Everyone else - fines and prison.

Between 60 and 70 people die each day on the roads and that doesnt include others taken to hospital from an accident and die later in hospital. This is just going to increase the carnage on the road.

If it does nothing, why take it? I am not against people taking it, I am for some controls to manage it.

Btw,  below is research study if you care.

https://nida.nih.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/does-marijuana-use-affect-driving#:~:text=Marijuana is the illicit drug most frequently found,and because people frequently combine it with alcohol.

Marijuana is the illicit drug most frequently found in the blood of drivers who have been involved in vehicle crashes, including fatal ones.¹⁰ Two large European studies found that drivers with THC in their blood were roughly twice as likely to be culpable for a fatal crash than drivers who had not used drugs or alcohol.^11,12 However, the role played by marijuana in crashes is often unclear because it can be detected in body fluids for days or even weeks after intoxication and because people frequently combine it with alcohol.

So, let me get this right, the only way they can make people happy and get them up the happiness index is by supplying them drugs ?

Yeah, but not in thailand. That would be methamphetamine.

 

I think you're fretting too much on this one, but a little misinformed paranoia never hurt anyone.

There is no THC, or at least very low levels so no one will be getting 'high.'

 

All to do with medical cannabis.

[Gottfrid]

Happiness, maybe. Income for happy people, no! Most are going to have to pay for their happiness.

[ikke1959]

He used himself a lot already I think.. Mke the Thai people addicted to marijuana and they will laughing the whole day..... Sometimes words can not express what we think of this

[Pedrogaz]

We must keep an eye on the accident rate if everyone can get this stuff. Can't the government see this will not make them better drivers but the worst in the world.

His bank account maybe, the rest of the Thai publics pocket.. unlikely.

Give this guy a medal, but why stop at marijuana? Cocaine is bigger money, May be all thai should start growing and making and then selling drugs????

[ChrisKC]

I think that most Thais currently struggling (with despair) would rather have the work back that has been lost for more than two years arising from...

 

something to do with him??
