What will YOU do now that marijuana is sort of "legal" in Thailand?

I can't smoke the stuff because it hurts my throat and makes me cough or worse. if I push past that it just makes my head spin and then I puke and pass out. 

 

but if these "Amsterdam" places start opening I might give it another shot. if they have those gummy bear thingies and someone who knows the right type and dosage to give me. 

 

or maybe I just go down to the nearest reggae bar and get a contact high ???? 

You can drink it like tea, takes a bit longer to kick in, but last longer.

It's been a long long time since I first tried it, and it's been at least 20+ years since I last had a puff of it, I'm not quite sure how to go about having another dabble, the mrs & I were talking about it earlier, she's never tried it, I stopped smoking about 5 years ago, she has never smoked but I would like to see her reaction to a couple of lungs full of giggle weed. ????????

[bunnydrops]

Not much. For the last 5 years I have been tending a farm with 800 plants in Oregon 6 months out of the year. Maybe smoked a half a dozen times. Here I will take a hit or two when in company of smokers just to "belong" but that's about it. I tried some Thai "Vape" a month ago that was the best I had tried in Thailand, not as strong as some of the stuff back in the States (a good thing, if you don't want to sit and stare at your toes) but had an feel more like Hashish.

I def have found pot to be a sex-enhancer. Booze? No.

I have been using it for awhile but i do not smoke.

There are other ways of using it,i just use it to get some sleep and only one times per week.

I bought some oil when i tried it first and that was amazing but the second bottle must have been watered down because it did not work.

Now i use it in food and i sleep really well,only one night per week.

Agree with this assessment, but only for myself.

 

I can see myself enjoying half a small cigarette on Sat night and doing the other half as a wake and bake on Sunday morning. So prob more like 2 oz a year would cover me, 4 oz would go begging.

 

Being intoxicated is fun, pot is a somewhat benign method. Net/net I prefer zero or very little intoxication as a life plan going forward. If I had never smoked pot at all, that would have been a better life choice. But the good times, people, and situations it led me are entirely happy memories.

 

In the very unlikely event that a heavy pot user wanted advice from me, I'd recco the pot quitting reddit page for support and not doing the wake and bake to start getting mentally healthier.

 

A lot of people (including me) use intoxicants to avoid the over-critical voice inside their heads. Therefore, being judgmental towards potheads is the opposite of helpful.  

 

My stopping was about being a reliable partner for my very sick wife. Loving her, serving her, made me love myself more. And that's what largely killed intoxicants for me personally.

Of course it depends on personal situation, if you dont need to be fit and clear you can use it as much as you want.

 

Also some people tolerate it better then others, its always personal. You can function ok when using, though not during work or getting high before work.

 

Anyway for me i don't like using it that much as it kills my diet. I really lose all self control and combine that with grab delivery then my diet will go to hell ????

 

Like mmmm chocolate icecream.. mmmm cake.... (imput other bad stuff).

A couple of years ago, my Thai wife that works in lawn care when we are in the States, called me to say she wasn't feeling so good. When I got to where she was working, she was curled up in the middle of the driveway. She couldn't walk and kept saying "cake, cake" over and over again. I took her to the hospital, but before we went inside, the woman that owned the house where she worked called me and told me she had given her a marijuana brownie. She had told her it was spiked but my wife didn't understand and ate the whole thing--- her first experience-- not wanting to do that again.

For me, Xanax does that. I'll wake up on a long haul flight and demand 27 packages of peanuts from the stewardess.

Pot have been the most well known used herb for self medication omong people who struggle with mental health for 60 years among westerns. For many it have worked well, for some others not so good

 

Also used by those who do not like or can not drink alcohol.

OK thanks I understand now as have always thought so needing drugs means you have a metal health problem.

[Don Chance]

You are not suppose to smoke it in public, so where will tourists smoke their stink weed?

Probably on the balcony of the room next to mine. They will be smoking, taking nonsense and giggling all night.  Frankly i am worried at how annoying the weed heads will be in the future.

Sorry you are wrong. This is part of a cafés menu in Pattaya on Saturday I went to

omg 700 / gram!!!  how can they justify that   its not that much in the uk and its still illegal there! I can get decent traditional Thai weed for around 50 bt a gram max   Those prices will surely drop soon once the market becomes saturated

o rly? thanks, maybe I'll give it a go once more places start opening up.

 

the one and only time I tried ganja here in Thailand was in a dirt cheap hotel called the Mango Guesthouse on Soi Rambuttri.

 

some English dude gave me a pinch of the stuff and said I could eat it if smoking wasn't for me. "savour try flavour" he said. nothing happened LOL.

Just making tea out of Cannabis leaves or putting it in food will not activate the THC

Decarboxylation is the word used to describe what to do to you leaves before you

can eat them and feel the effect of THC.

I rarely use the flowers anyway,to sleep ,only the leaves work really well.

OK, I'll start.

I was a hippie. 

Was basically stoned every day from age 13 to 19. 

I was psychologically addicted.

No doubt given the early age, it did damage.

At 19, I realized the stuff made me paranoid and I didn't really enjoy it that much. 

Also it would trigger flashbacks of psychedelics (I guess that was a feature).

So I just stopped it and sometimes drank booze instead but happily never became an alcoholic.

 

But this was OLD SCHOOL pot. So weak!

 

So years ago in Amsterdam I had some puffs at a coffee shop.  The NEW STUFF.

 

I was not prepared. I went out and practically collapsed on the streets. I could feel the side effects for a month. 

 

So assuming the NEW STUFF is going to be available here, while I like the idea of freedom of choice, I am not so sure I want to touch it at all.

 

my thoughts about it can be summarized by a comparison with speeding.

 

speeding on highways is now legal in Thailand too. at 120 Km/h ????

I'll probably plant some, and smoke a bit.  About the same as my alcohol intake, maybe 1 a week, if that, as I do enjoy a healthy liver & lungs.

 

Teens till 30, was a regular smoker of.  30 to 45 yrs old, maybe weekly.  Move here and pretty much stopped.  Maybe 1 oz in 22 years, and that was over just one 2 yr stretch.  Don't think it was the newer stronger stuff, but since hadn't smoked it in so long, got a nice buzz & cough from it.

There is tons of information of what cannabis tea can do for you, and note «can» do, since there is alot of non verified science out there without proper and decent clinical studies. The experiences is also very individuall from person to person. And correct to have an effect of thc you need to dry the leaves, and there is also easy to google how to do. 
 

I have drinked tea out of weed and hasjis, and weed made me calm (depending on you and the strain used) and black hasjis made me stoned out of this world and lasted for many hours. Even felt stoned the day after to. I believe we drank 0,5g hasjis each to get that feeling. Anyway long time ago, another life.

Abuse might be a sign yes, same for alcohol and other substances,, but many people as stated, use pot recreationally same as other people enjoy alcohol. 
 

What is the difference really? It is have been decided to be illegal out of unknown reasons if you compare it to beer or liquor, which is a-lot more harmful than pot if abused. 
 

Alcohol if abused is a family killer nr one in the world, and the  violence that comes with alchohol compare to weed, makes it hard to believe alcohol still is legal.

My understanding is that THC is fat-soluble -hence pot brownies and hash butter. Tea is a very inefficient method of delivering the THC to the blood stream.

 

So just drink more of it.

 

For me, a general wellness approach was useful in stopping being a pothead. Since I was and am super high-functioning, thinking of it as a mental health issue that had to be solved actually prevented me from stopping. A holistic view of respiratory health, more energy, better sleep is what moved the dial for me.

Why are you living in a place where tourists would stay? Sounds like you will be going out of your way to get annoyed.

I'm certainly more happy when I drink alcohol every day.

I'm also more happy when not in constant low level pain after smoking cannabis.

If I have a headache, I'm more happy after taking 2x paracetamol.

If unable to perform, I'm more happy after taking 1/2 a Viagra.

All about profit & tax revenue.  Actually pretty embarrassing as a society that not only tolerates it, but endorses it.

 

I'm all for freedom of the ability to kill ourselves through our vices, but does it need to be glorified through most media.

My history is that I smoked pot from the age of 17 as a experiment when I lived in London to stop me drinking too much beer as I had a beer belly.  It worked my body weight was now down to a normal level.  I never stopped until my late 20 and really enjoyed the experience as I grew up to be a better person as my mind was opened to all the good music that was around in those days.   I got to meet very nice people from all walks of life when I went to a lot of live concerts., London was a very good place to grow up as a 17 year old green scottish lad.

My education on life also improved with me reading more and taking a interest in many subjects. 

 

The reason I stopped was I found it hard to get to work every day due to laziness so at first I stopped during work days and only did it at weekends. Then i just gradually stopped altogether it was not a problem as I had moved back to Scotland with a new Job and I wanted to travel.   I have been living in Thailand now for over 20 years there was one day up in Chiang Mai that I was given a try of a joint but I had stopped smoking everything for many years by this time and i coughed and It hurt my throat so I did not do it again. 

 

I have a lot of health problems now at 66 years old with neck and back pain with joint pain along with insomnia so I will be looking to get back to trying cannabis again when the price comes down with a Bong if I can find one to buy to help me sleep and get pain relief as this will not hurt my throat so much or make me cough.

So good for Thailand to let this happen I can't wait.

You should not use a bong, you should use an herb vaporizer, you will enjoy it a lot more. You can check on google and youtube, lot of informations available.

Is a Vaporizer legal in Thailand ? and what is the difference from a Water Bong?
