Popular Post Adumbration Posted May 18, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2022 Something is not right here. Who owns the companies that supply the alternatives to these banned chemicals? That might shed some light on the decisiveness. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could wade your way through the paperwork and shell companies my guess would be a megga conglomerate starting with MONSAN Edited May 18, 2022 by wombat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAMHERE Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 A few decades ago the USA helped Mexico spray its marijuana fields with paraquat. Turns out some of the plants made it thru and ended up being smoked in the USA. Bad part is that smoke caused cancer. Ultimately paraquat on marijuana was considered bad. Hope none of it is used in Thailand on the new fields. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinchester Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 (edited) I don't get it....all of these are still freely available to farmers or is it just our village in the whole of Thailand? Edited May 19, 2022 by edwinchester 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might shed some light on the decisiveness. Exactly. If he was really concerned about these types of issues he would tackle the chemicals in cigarettes that cause cancer by allowing the much less harmful Vaping. But no, that would upset the Thailand Tobacco Monopoly. Or tackle the carcinogenic filth that is expelled from public buses in Bangkok every day. But no, that would cost money and leave less in the trough to siphon off. I too suspect he (or his cohorts) has a vested interest in selling the alternative. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be an amazing development. Sure. More cynical folks might suggest that there's an angle somewhere in the mix, which has little or nothing to do with the well being of the population or beneficial to the commons. Just sayin'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
