Full Moon Party: Locals fear uncontrolled "ganja-fest" after MPs propose allowing use to promote tourism

Featured Replies

I don't understand why they must make exception for FullMoon Party, I thought it says clearly: "not to be used in public"!?

25+ years ago I lived in Samui, I think I was the only one who did not go to FMParty... I saw them come back next morning, totally  worn out...

before that time we used to have full moon gatherings on Chaweng, a few boxes of beer, a couple joints were passed around and we played guitar and sang together...

that's how they started in Phangan as well...

then the cops came, stating smoking pot was dangerous, could not be done anymore, so from those days onwards most patrons popped pills and drank booze for years...

and nów the locals object to ganja at FMP because it could effect the local youth???

they never worried about that when all crazy drugs and combinations were used???

we call this hypocritical!

    The locals are furious because it is competition for the local drug suppliers.

  • rather see a ganga fest than a drunken fest!!!

  • as opposed to the plethora of other drugs normally everywhere at this event ?

We're responsible for what goes on here

So are they taking responsibility for all the illegal drugs that were sold there all those years??

another attempt at raising hysteria,  do these journalists really have nothing better to do 

Just let the people have some fun. Ganga is far less harmful than alcohol. And some would even argue it is less harmful than state sponsored tobacco. 

 

This is more about fake purity, PC nonsense and RTP loss of revenue. Let it go. Deny the creeps and let the people party on!

Which locals I wonder? Perhaps the most vocal granny in the Soi?

The government should allow it.

We need to avoid anger from tourists and participants, it would lead to tones of corruption from U know who because the party goers WILL use it no matter what!!
It's not going to be any worse than drinking alcohol and in fact statistics show probably less incidents.

I can see much more carnage coming on the roads as micro sleepers are now in a hazy coma ????

....There was always some ganga at the full moon parties

some;  LOL

FYI
every reggae bar in thailand has been selling ganga since tourists have been visiting Thailand

“Highly” doubt locals will be furious after they figure it’s a money maker

Competition for the liquor suppliers too

Worrying about wearing masks now seems to be the least of their worries now.

Very true. People who smoke weed are harmless compared to people that drink alcohol.

If legal then u can imagine the party.It will be some wild party from now one

It is not legal.

Do not believe what some people write here.

From the lips (and pen) of our wonderful health minister Anutin

Besides, the notice prohibited cannabis use and smoking in public.

However, people will always break the law.

At 700 gram, the poor backpackers are going to find that their bit of smoke costs as much as several days worth of food, 10 bottles of beer, or a night's accommodation in single/double room. Of course, there should be cheaper stuff of lesser quality available on the black market. But I can only imagine that the air will be pungent with marijuana smoke at the party. It will be like a return of the old days, especially if someone can also rustle up some ecstasy.

Beat the middle man go to the govt nursery..

How does this work?

How do you get these and where from?

Please help a desperate smoker, who refuses to use his 'go fund me' winnings to buy at the current exorbitant 'artificial' prices.
