Maybe just buy a vial of Urine Luck and keep it in your pocket? Not so sure how well it works these days but back in the 90s I used it several times (3) and it worked every time. Matter of fact I smoked a joint with a friend 2 hrs before I took a test and I passed it using the product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damrongsak Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 On 6/12/2022 at 4:13 PM, Jingthing said: 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. I smoked occasionally when I was maybe 17-19 or so. Did other stuff as well. Decided I didn't really like it, LSD was better at the time (early 70's). I've had a puff or two since then, still don't care for it. Weirdest time was going to Thailand in 1977 and someone had weed. Smoked a wee bit on the roof of a hotel in Maha Sarakham. Newbie halfway around the world on a two year job stint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaosLover Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 I am sure I smoked more pot than Bob Marley. Sure, had he lived, he would have left me in the dust, but on a total poundage basis of lifetime smoke, I may want to toss in Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailer too. But not recently. Where we live, they have CBD vapes that are the light beer equiv of a spliff, so weed is effectively legalized even down here in the Bible Belt. If it cost's 2,000 baht an ounce for non-skunk weed, I'm a 4 oz a year buyer. Mainly as a prelude to going out to eat in a good restaurant. 99% of my smoking would be on my balcony. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was emphasising that he was the one who was "not very coherent on the new laws" (0.02%!), as opposed to the other poster to whom he was responding and chastising, hence my reference to the entire content of his post being ironic.

Yeah thatll make a huge difference <deleted> The huge difference between 0.02% and 0.2% is a factor of ten, that's a substantial multiple. It was particularly relevant because the ill-informed poster who quoted 0.02% was berating another poster for not knowing the new law. I was not comparing the effect that the different percentages and strengths may have on pot heads who use the stuff. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not found a better option to my low level arthritis. My current options are 8 Paracetamol/day, 2 Tramadol/day or 0.5gm of cannabis/evening. The cannabis has no apparent side effects (if smoked just before sleep) and lasts 24hrs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Excel Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 Seems to me that there seems load of people attempting to justify the use of marijuana as they are suffering from "this" and have to take these medicines or "that" so have to take these also whereas smoking pot fixes it. Well I I guess smoking anything hallucinogenic can make you forget those other complaints, if they were real, yet on the other hand once science finds a natural remedy for hypochondria many of their arguments for smoking pot will go by the wayside. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaosLover Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 1 hour ago, robblok said: Every day is just too much. Occasional (depending what one calls occasional) 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummin Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 (edited) Something I smoked occasionally when I was younger in Florida with great pleasure, and later tried a few times and even at a beach bar in Krabi, and never felt the same. Different time, different strain, not same anymore. The good old Mexican strain was a take off pill, never experienced the same feeling with any other strains later. However I drink less, eat less and not really interested to mess anymore with my head than I have to trying to keep positive about life and future. I enjoy quality food and wine more than almost anything else at this moment in life. Edited June 14, 2022 by Hummin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jvs Posted June 14, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 14, 2022 10 hours ago, thwo said: nothing will change, smoking weed in Thailand since 20 years... There it is in a nutshell.This new law is not going to affect most people at all,smokers will keep smoking and people will continue to cook with it as they have done for a long time. The only real difference is you do not have to grow Guerilla any more. When Krathom became legal similar things were being said about things getting out of control etc. It did not and neither will the use of Cannabis,sure some will do stupid things but people will learn. Out of all the drugs out there i believe Cannabis is the least dangerous. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
