Popular Post webfact Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2022 More details are emerging after police in Khok Soong village of Ubonrat district, Khon Kaen in the north east of Thailand locked up a sick granny for growing ONE marijuana plant. Nang, 70 told Channel 7 national news: "I thought the cops were coming about the pipe leading from the rice field. I thought they wanted to talk to someone else. Then they said: "Don't you know it's illegal to have that gran?" They were pointing at a 1 m 40 cm tall plant that Nang kept in her front herb garden. She quite calmly explained that she uses it to make a nice herbal tea that soothes her many ailments. The police showing a decided lack of tact took her in along with neighbor Bunleng, 48, who was found with one plant herself.

The case came at the same time that DPM Anutin Charnvirakul was opening a marijuana festival. But that is for medical marijuana. Despite Nang claiming her plant was for medical use it had a flowering head. That'll mean the presence of THC - the substance that makes you feel high that the Thai authorities are keeping back from the public.

Popular Post phetphet Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2022 She should have bought a Ferrari with the proceeds of selling that one plant.

Popular Post Bert got kinky Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) I find it odd that the police can't see a motorcycle rider without a helmet, driving in the wrong direction, on a footpath, while checking Facebook on their phone but they can spot a Ganja leaf at 300 paces.

Popular Post spidermike007 Posted March 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2022 The RTP, and the army fools as always, are picking on the little guy. Or in this case, the little grandmom. Don't have alot of cash? Now you need to pay with an arrest. Such foolishness. Such churlish and obnoxious behavior. And they are talking about making Thailand a ganga tourism destination? Going to have to fire 230,000 RTP franchisees, before they can make that happen. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
