Cannabis, not COVID-19, to feature at upcoming censure

Two months ago, the coronavirus would have still been a “sexy” topic at the no-confidence debate. But the relevant numbers are going down, and economic suffering has been too related to the global pandemic and the war in Ukraine to be effective ammunition in Parliament. This leaves the cannabis “legalization.”

 

The opposition’s censure motion was written in a conventionally vague way. By that, any issue of the hour, even if it was virtually non-existent when the motion was drafted, can steal the limelight. Cannabis “legalization” fits the bill as there is no hotter topic to date.

 

Proclaimed “benefits” of cannabis “legalization” would take time, while alarming news reports, hearsay, and rumors have been numerous and continuous already. As importantly, the issue will allow the Pheu Thai-led opposition to softening up Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, the leader of the Bhumjaithai Party who has seemed to climb up the list of the biggest opposition party’s enemies lately.

constant drivel from deranged junta apologist Tulsathit Taptim.

Again, difficult to read and comprehend his constant twists.

That comment I do leave at all articles written by him.

 

"The Pheu Thai Party has warned that it would be business as usual for the prime minister, and there was little mentioning of cannabis as a potential highlight.

To make this debate significantly different from the previous three, and to do what makes political sense, the Pheu Thai-led opposition will turn to cannabis. Unless it has something else up its sleeve, that is."

 

the true Opposition is not pheu thai, but future forward.

Pheu thai colludes with Prawit in an attempt to steal the next election by forming coalition government. Behind door talks are ongoing for over a year.

That's why Pheu Thai has prevented future forward from speaking at censure debates by stealing allocated time for opposition. They were allowed by the house speaker to prolong their speeches.

So Rangsiman Rome to had to speak outside chamber at media conferences. He is even charged with defamation for what he said about Five Provinces Bordering Forest Preservation Foundation in chamber itself.

 

At the same time the elites are throwing lese majeste laws against future forward to gag them. Piyabutr was charged the last week once again with this law. 

 

Vax scandal at the censure debate in January 2021 Tulsathit describes as "key figures on the opposition’s side have been embroiled in unfavorable new reports regarding the vaccines themselves." - that is about serious allegations of thai made the AZ corruption Thanathorn made. He was slapped with article 112 for that by the government.
