Popular Post johnnybangkok Posted June 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2022 27 minutes ago, billsmart said: I agree with Thaksin up to a point. I'd say marijuana is closer to alcohol than opium. But in saying that, I'd also say it more addictive than alcohol. Marijuana, IMO, might have some medical benefits in specific instances, but for the everyday person, it's much like getting drunk. It removes a lot of your inhibitions and puts you in a dreamy state that reduces your desire to do anything. It's like it makes you very lazy, but content. I think it should definitely be discouraged. Just as well it's your opinion as it certainly isn't science. As Robblok has pointed out, it is far less addictive than alcohol and indeed pretty much every other drug out there. It has PROVEN medical benefits to include pain management, inflammation reduction, neurological and mental disorders as well as sleep management to include insomnia. And yes it does have a calming 'dreamy' effect which lets admit it, the world could certainly do with right now. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It must be really hard for the fugitive to accept that he is someone from the past. It's time to retire and grow roses in the desert. Given the results from the last BKK elections it looks like all your worst fears will come true. Thaksin will be back with a vengeance and the brown-skinned Thais will become uppity and think they actually matter once more! Dark days ahead for the elite Bangkok expats, indeed. Might see the odd red shirt in the mall food courts again! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, and I suggest those who freak out at the mere mention of Thaksin's name take a puff or two. And for those who bring out the so-called war on drugs that happened under Thaksin that's something that can't be properly debated without involving forbidden subjects so using it as an argument in a debate is ignorant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least that's the name in his Montenegrin passport. I recall mention of a Japanese passport as well. As he is of Chinese descent, and he owns expensive property in HK, I'd suspect he may have some ID from China. Tony Woodsome certainly sounds like a porno actor. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Hans Johnson Posted June 22, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2022 What a bazaar statement Tony from a man who has so many arrest warrants against him and handed down prison sentences, that people on cannabis want to jump off buildings and next step leads to heroin. I remember when a large military truck load of men are taken away to a military camp and never returned to their families over made up drug charges with no trial. If you know the history of his reasoning this went down it’s shocking. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you compare cannabis with opium then your not educated on the subject. Cannabis is less addictive then alcohol and far less addictive then opium. I posted research and graphs to back that up. Problem is that people love to demonize it while it certainly not harmless its in a lower leage then alcohol. So why do people think alcohol should be allowed and is ok while the less harmful of the two is demonized. Its all about not looking at true science. Now i wont say its harmless as it certainly is not. But to compare it with a far worse substance is just not good. People should be educated about cannabis with real facts not scare tactics. I am totally against use of minors of the stuff. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been looking for you and your mountain of evidence for decades. It does quite the opposite of alcohol, you tend to get more inhibitions and a little more paranoid about what people think. You literally have no idea what you are babbling about. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Tyrrell Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 Hello , The banter is absolutely ridiculous !! Just like alcohol you have laws , They have set rules and laws by age limit you must be over 20 years old , None shall be consumed or used if you are in school , University ect… Many places in the world have made mariajuna legal for medical or personal consumption. Seems to me Thailand ???????? You have more problems with alcohol and unsafe road safety and lack of enforcement of it then coming out with these crazy assumptions !! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thaibreaker Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 I know this might be an unpopular question, most seem to welcome legalization of planting and using weed. But how does that make traffic in Thailand safer? After this legalization, I fear the traffic more than ever. Thais high on something in the traffic, should concern everyone. Their use of ice is well known. Doesn't get better with weed in the mix, for sure. Their crazy driving added with weed is a scary combo. Just a question. I don't mind legalization on general basis, but there is a downside, as I see it. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enforcement in Thailand is needed , I’ve seen alcohol neglect that’s killed people in Thailand they give the family money and walk away scott free !! In America ????????
