smedly Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 seems they are determined to get this whole population hooked on drugs that were illegal 6 months ago, it is really careless stupidity - yes legalise weed but to promote it is careless - it seems Anutin wants the whole population spaced out on a dangerous drug - and it is dangerous 1 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the most part these treatments are associated with terminal illnesses and elderly patients, and there are very few reports of cannabis addiction, and certainly no overdoses. So the "getting hooked" thing. Fughetaboutit. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emster23 Posted May 12, 2022 Share Posted May 12, 2022 Is this the barely measurable THC stuff again? Placebo central Might as well toss homeopathic in there for good measure. Equally useless, other than making some folks a bit of cash 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never would be my guess, and I am gonna go out a limb and say bet he loves a drink but. Now lets talk about dangerous. Ive only used Australia but rates would be comprable if not greater globally. Tobacco related deaths annually : 24 000 Responsible for 1 in 8 deaths leading cause of premature death. Alcohol related deaths annually : 5 500 157 000 hospitalisations and a cost to government of 14 billion annually. Deaths that could be attributed to marijuana use 2000 - 2018: 559 http://connections.edu.au/publicationhighlight/rates-characteristics-and-manner-cannabis-related-deaths-australia-2000-2018 Yes please dont unleash this horrible weed on us much safer with the pints and the darts.

Yeah, let's all joke about elderly thais suffering from terminal illnesses. Clever aren't you. Maintaining an appetite, and getting the proper nutrition, is a challenge in these cases. If some herbal remedy, with minimal psychoactive ingredients, help ease the final months, I say go for it. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you really think my post was joking about terminal illnesses in elderly Thais? That's a rhetorical question by the way because of course you didn't. It was just a weak attempt at a straw man to setup some dull, predictable virtue signalling, wasn't it? Well done Sir. Well Done. ???? Shame these treatments don't help with being a sanctimonious bore, after a 30 second diagnosis you could have qualified for a couple of kilos of grade A produce.
