You do realize that they lace cbd and bad weed with it.

I think terming it as an overdose is a bit naive, maybe a good ol' fashione "whitey". The poor fella who died, i would guess had something pre existing.

 

Ive never heard of people going to hospital with bad reactions to weed after a stop in an Amsterdam coffee shop.

I lost the use of both arms briefly after a very strong joint.............bit embarrassing as I was stood at the urinal at the time...........seem to last about 10 mins, but in reality probably 2 mins......scary at the time.

Only two urinals, just stood there whilst people queued up and used the other one.......if it had lasted much longer no idea what I would have done!!!!

You seem to be intentionally misunderstanding me. So bye.

I thought over dosing was not possible, how much did they consume?

Quite possible to overdose on a single high THC joint.

Smoke the whole joint thinking it's the same as brick, no feelings until 10 minutes later.

Racing heart, thready pulse, sweating, shivering, weakness.

I did it once, not nice but I doubt it would harm a healthy person.

Now I stick to half a 1gm joint.

 

Ever drunk a whole bottle of vodka?

of course you will find an incident or 2 but when compared the massive amount of weed smoked every day. its nil.

Synthetics is what gave vaping a bad name in the US. It is not regulated so people put all kinds if stuff in it to “enhance” it.

They do, get your facts right. Try google search for a bit if you don't have a clue.

ok one more time. 

 

the number of times this actually happens vs the sheer volume of weed smoked daily on planet earth. its virtually nil. 

 

them are the facts you speak so highly of.

Personally I think High end tourism and cannabis are incompatible. If I was a high end tourist I certainly would not travel to a cannabis ridden country

[Bert got kinky]

 

Because middle to high class never smoke weed? ????

 

[spidermike007]

This is a completely ridiculous conclusion. Where is the science? What else was involved? The worst case scenario for ganga intake is passing out. Otherwise, one would have to be very ill, very weak or on the verge of death anyway. 

 

Sounds like the reefer madness crew.

That is irrelevant. Only a few thousand high end tourists come here annually, for a dozen good reasons. 99% of the tourists that come here are low to middle income. Rich tourists have far better options.

Total lie!! nobody ever has overdosed on ' Cannabis ' you would fall asleep, I can't believe somebody didn't 'Fact Check' this article. I thought the day's of maligning Cannabis were over. Again I refute that claim that a person died of Cannabis, it cannot happen,period..!

Well , it works like this. From now on , whenever anyone dies from a stroke or heart attack all you have to do to find the cause is discover the last thing they ate or drank or smoked. If enough similar cases are found ban whatever it is. Could be rice, som dtam or anything really. The point is to protect the public from themselves. I'm betting rice will be found to be a big killer.

 

This by the way is the logic they seem to currently be using.

That did not take long then ...........

From what I have seen more people die from Lao whiskey than anything that they consume in Thailand

I mentioned yesterday, just wait until it hits the teenagers.   This place is looking at so many problems with weed they have no clue.  There are so many irresponsible drivers now, just wait all these stoners on the roads motorbikes and cars.  All such a terrible idea thinking it will be a wonderful tourism money grab.  Shameful really and anyone that supports this is clueless just wait and see.

Its cash that counts. People they dont care about. For sure many problems will follow.

You are clueless. Weed is already accessable to anyone who wants it. Any Thai teen who wants to get high as been able to buy and smoke weed for years.

 

The only difference here is that it is now legal to do so

[ifmu]

my experiences as a youth .... and for  pot not concentrates

 

• High levels of anxiety          you are high you get scared if you are a noobie
• Panic attack                          see above
• Rapid heart rate                    see above
• Difficulty conversing              no kidding 
• Poor coordination                  yup
• High or low blood pressure       high if scared  low if happy
• Nausea and vomiting               never    (only with edibles)
• Extreme confusion and memory problems       yup
• Paranoia                                    yup
• Hallucinations                             no   

[Ralf001]

Would that be the first person ever... to die from smoking pot ?

 

Thailand is finally the "first" at something !!

No there are a lot more choices,there are a lot of different drugs kids are exposed to these days.

They also consume alcohol and some sniff different things,mushrooms are also on the menu.

Kids want to try stuff so "neither" in a lot of cases is not an option.

 

 

don't we all remember how we were behaving when being teenagers? I remember my first j...t:  man did I feel sick from it, it's all part of finding yr own limits!

kids want to try out stuff, certainly we don't want our kids to do the wrong stuff like Yaba.

guidance is the answer! if my child would be interested I would show how to roll a j...t and enjoy together!

same like first glass of alcohol! we had a glass of wine together, she didn't like it much so that was the end of that story... 

there's nothing exciting about it anymore and they will leave bad stuff alone...

the more hiding/secrecy, the more kids want it! ????
