The parents are the same sort of idiots who put toilet cleaner in the same easy access cupboard as soft drinks, then wonder why the kid drank it. 

As stated before Thailand has opened a can of worms with legal cannabis. The populus here think this is quick way to make a buck, however, due to the lack of education regarding this product more problems are on their way. 

Ganja food needs to be regulated that's all. It must come in a special cover with a clear warning: Keep out of reach of children. 

Just like medicine, any dangerous substance. Problem solved. 

Next please!

Yep! Just like all those flavoured,  sparkling hard sodas... never seen an underage or uninitiated chuck one of those back without seeing the giant warning labels on them ????????????????

An equal argument, there is no proof that the cookie the child ate didn’t contain marijuana.

Clearly there were 'marijuana laced cookies’ in the house.

 

Thus, with access to such cookies it was a possibility the child ate one,  given the child's symptoms, that possibility becomes a probability.

And hundreds more  stories like this suggesting you just seem to have  an obsession  with making critical  generalisations about Thailand  without context being blind to  the faults of your own  country.

 

 

Quoting that ‘it happens elsewhere’ (and a british tabloid story) does not invalidate the comment that the general attitudes towards safety in Thailand and the general attitudes towards child safety in Thailand is poor when compared to our home countries (i.e the UK). 

 

Look at drownings and other accidents... 

 

IF you think Thailand is safer for children and there a fewer easily avoidable child deaths (per 100,000 of population) then you would be quite wrong....  

 

This is not a ’turd that can be polished or rolled in glitter’ because it hurts your sensitivities and you think its a Thai-bash...   Any (educated) Thai person would make the same observation.

 

Read Pantip forum and you will see that many of the criticisms levied against Thailand by Westerners are also the exactly same criticisms levied against Thailand by Thai’s....  

 

Thai’s don’t need your 'gone native’ defence to brush reality under the carpet.

 

Identifying real issues is not a Thai-bash....

Anyone with any sense knows what to keep out of reach of children without need for labels.

We’ve become accustomed to labels simply because of the spread of US ’suing culture’).

 

A label isn’t going to stop a 3 year old...   and if a parent needs a label to know that something is harmful to a child then maybe they really shouldn’t be parents - part of the issue is that any idiot can become a parent !!! 

 

Any parents that leaves their medication out where a 3 year old could consume it is wholly negligent.

 

The issue is the absence of basic levels parental supervision and awareness of basic child safety. 

 

 

 

Stoned at the Kindergarten - way to go; you cannot train 'em early enough, it seems. 

On a more sombre note; that "relative" should be jailed but well, this is Lalala Land as we know it ???? 

This kid in Bradford would have  been lucky to get  stoned on a hash brownie!

It just goes to show all the ills of the world  are not centred  on Thailand as some people on this forum would have us believe.

I have to ask you [Hammer], Do you believe the general attitudes towards safety and Child safety in Thailand are better than the UK ???

 

.... better than many of our home countries ???

 

 

OR... do feel you have to object because you really really like it here so feel the need to defend your choice for being here which also means defending against any criticism of anything Thai ???

 

 

You seem unable to be able to differentiate between having a negative opinion on one (or even a handful of facets of Thailand life) and having a dislike between everything Thai.

 

 

Mine is not a Thai bash. But, it is bash on the general attitude towards safety in Thailand... particularly the attitude towards safety of children in Thailand.

Its not specific to any country but this is Thailand

 

In Thailand, there are an average of 52 children being sexually, physically or psychologically abused, neglected, or exploited each day or more than 2 children in every hour.

IF they haven’t already, people are going to start suspecting your deliberate obtuseness is not so deliberate... 

 

IF you provide examples of dangerous driving or a car accident in the UK, would you consider that as valid evidence that the Thai road deaths are not as severe as people and stats suggest ???

 

 

 

Zero potential of harm to the child.

 

Panic ensues.

Ganja isn't the glaringly obvious problem in this story.

"The parent was told by a relative of her husband that the child had ate the ganja brownie."

So family then. Lol. 

 The mother also warned others to take care of their kids.

 ???????????????? couldn't make this <deleted> up. How about you take CARE of your own child in the first instance pillock? 

...exactly! What's even more worrying about this story is the fact that the husband's relative and/or the husband knew that the kid had eaten the hash brownie and chose not to say anything at first allowing the kid to go to school... unbelievable! No wonder the mother is worried about receiving bad press over this!

I had some noodle soup the other day and it tasted odd so I told the lady in the shop. She said I must have put too much weed in. Better stay at home and cook your own food these days.

Or more likely one or two cases are sensationalised and stupid people believe they represent the tip of an iceberg rather than isolated exceptions. 

On the other hand you can buy the plants everywhere... The sellers should have permissions, but look at the number of cars at side of the road with the plants.. I am wondering if they all have permission. People buy it and use it but without any knowledge.. Surely it is a tip of the iceberg.. Many cases are kept away as everything is manipulated.... Look at the real Covid cases....and published numbers

Like loaded weapons in US households that result in the deaths of 500 innocent children a year. Like that huh?

It is very sad that marijuana had been decriminalized in Thailand. Innocent children will suffer and die because of this criminal decision.

Ok. A fair thought. Here's another one. Google deaths by marijuana. Sure kiddies should not be injesting it but I think this is either stupidity or fake news.

Secretly or otherwise....   leaving dope laced cookies around where children have access to them is outrageously negligent....  as is leaving a 3 year old unattended to get what they want from the kitchen etc.... 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes I read the article. I don't believe it.

There is about a zero percent chance someone inadvertently put ganga in a brownie, and did not charge for it. The mother bought the thing, and was not careful with it. This s all about negligence.

Now, if anyone could please explain to me how marijuana could be put into food secretly as this baker claimed. ????????????

 

No clue the guy and, by extension a few members of this forum as well it seems. Really the only way I could think of is lacing a cookie with marijuana butter or oil. And that's not how it's generally done to be honest.

Sprinkling parts of the plant onto food does exactly 0 witg regards to psychoactive effects. Zero.

 

I think it's a bogus claim by a baker who has actually no idea what he is talking about but jumped on his chance for 15 minutes fame.

Exactly except the anti pot brigade in their ignorance believes you get stoned by absorption and that if you sprinkle pot on anything you get smashed not realising that is completely untrue. For it to have any real potency really should be decarboxylated then infused in something oil based for a number of hours or even days. Then added to whatever you will cook with. It's a process and hardly something you just "sneak" into a dish.

 Throwing a handful of leaves in a soup or a drink or even a cookie will do sweet <deleted> all.

Families stupid enough to put marijuana in cookies and leave them where children can get access to them are also the families whose children grow up with elevated risks... i.e. these are the families we read about who have lost children, drowned in a nearby pond... these are the families to take children on motorcycles without helmets etc...  

 

A 3 year old left completely unsupervised.....    Sadly, it seems par for the course in many areas of Thailand (and not only Thailand). 

 

The Marijuana hysteria is also getting ridiculous... People ’secretly’ putting it in food is outrageous and dangerous - those who do this should be dealt with legally. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wasn't it only a few weeks ago that the Thai health auths were telling SCHOOLS not to put Marijuana in school meals. Makes the mind boggle!

Sadly the genie is out of the bottle thanks to Anutin. He and the BJT have had years to come up with proper rules and regulations but he couldn't be bothered. This is the net result with amendments flying thick and fast, the police have no idea what is right and what is wrong.

 

It has gone from a <deleted> to a full blown <deleted> all down to Anutin, who in the beginning couldn't praise it enough and now has more reverse gears than a WW2 Italian tank.
