Thai Rath publish a story - with a graphic picture -  about an 18 year old in Surin, NE Thailand, who lost consciousness after smoking ganja.

 

He passed out next to his home made bong.

 

Their headline went:

 

"An example: 18 year old knocked out by ganja on Mother's Day next to his bong - overdose expected."

 

ASEAN NOW suggests it might have been an overdose of sensationalism.

 

The media said that the house in Muang district was rented and that rescue services were called.

He was taken to hospital and his parents were called.

 

Friends said that he was a regular smoker.

 

This time he smoked after he had had some soy milk.

 

The authorities suspect he overdid it. 

 

Marijuana was legalised in Thailand in June but is not supposed to be sold to the under 20s, notes ASEAN NOW.

same thing happens if you drink too much...............blackout.  

 

but that won't make the news.

 

After there is a multi-billion dollar company controlling ganja, these stories will fade away.

Clearly he had a certificate prescribing the leaf for medical therapy since, as we know, recreational use is illegal.......get well soon.....????

Did he NEED the hospital treatment? As long as he was breathing just let him sleep it off.
