Smuggling or trafficking? Well that would be considered a heinous crime so obviously they should not be considered. Also any position of trust or power certainly not any sort of government office. ???? Edited June 24, 2022 by starky 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KhunLA Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 Technically, isn't everyone now selling ganga a criminal, that just hasn't been arrested in the past for what they are doing now. Unless of course, you actually believed people miraculously are harvesting a crop they planted the day ganga was decriminalized. That's some super fast growing sh!t. That fact that any of it is available means it was illegally grown. So much for ability to earn a living, with a skill set you already possess. To follow up, should they ban car thieves from working for car dealers or auto repair shops. Along with anyone arrested for petty theft, to be employed for handling any money, whether a cashier at 7-11 or a bank. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Wuvu2 Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 I've met a few foreign ganja entrepreneurs involved in dispensaries startups, and all of them impressed me as the fast talking scammers types that target other farangs. There is a massive new business opportunity in Thailand, and it's reasonable to let Thais take a big bite at the apple first. This regulation is even more significant at large scale production and export operations. Seems reasonable to me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not be surprised if some of the slimy foreigners running so called property sales and rental businesses here will slither over to the cannabis trade if regulations were not introduced. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wuvu2 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Legalization in Thailand is a massive invitation to drug traffickers from around the planet to get involved. Every criminal organization from gangs to cartels are trying to figure out how to get in on the action in Thailand. Thai weed will be a game changer in the global black market for weed. The "good guys in bad guys out" scheme just got a whole lot more complicated ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phetphet Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 This whole legalisation idea has "gone to pot". Excuse the pun. Those that pushed for it couldn't organise a p*** up in a brewery. Surely they could have drafted a clearer set of laws around this A lot of people will end up doing time due to the confusing way this has been implemented.

Thingamabob Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 This is a shambles. Stop messing about. Either maintain cannabis as an illegal substance, or make it entirely legal with no restrictions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
