Stop with the piece meal, rip off that band aid and be the narcotic hub of the world. It is a sad state indeed when the the government advocates drug dealing as means as savior of economy. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well maybe if they thought they could make money out of it I'm sure some one in government would try and re-legalise it as Ya ba tablets were formerly sold legally at gas stations and used by long-haul drivers to stay awake.

TKDfella Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 This is not really a new topic. Although I don't know the details, universities and psychiatry institutions have been doing studies since the beginning of this century and feasibility studies were in the Lancet a bit later. Perhaps the experts in Thailand have been doing some reading lately eh????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was a bit of a joke or humor, I don't really need to think about it and agree the reasons for all the changes is the government want a part of it. But I know those in this area feel there is enough for everyone and the government putting their hands now into it isn't going to deter them from their share.

DualSportBiker Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 There is no known lethal dose of mushrooms - understandable to try and instil fear, but best done with facts.

None of which I wish upon our children. Would you prefer, your children to go to a black market dealer, not knowing who the dealer is, if the dealer is going to try and sell harder drugs to your child, they won't don't know the quality of the marijuana purchased, and or if chemicals have been used in growing or what it has been sprayed with plus the chance of being busted and ending in a Thai prison.? Or in any country with draconian drug laws. Or Marijuana is controlled by the government, so they can tax it and make money instead of the big dealers profiting. Now it is being tested to medical grade cannabis, there is no threat of being busted or getting a possible criminal record or having to mix with the underworld to get supplies. Opportunity to be a leading country for research for medical marijuana uses, education, with potential huge industries. Having marijuana illegal doesn't stop people using it if they want to. To some it makes it more exciting. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Shocked farang Posted August 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 15, 2022 I think this is indeed a great idea. Psychedelic drugs are now getting a revival in psychotherapy, I just watched some documentaries on this subject. The mushrooms are even being used for helping people with terminal illnesses to cope. It's a great move, in my opinion. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've only started using recovery 'chutes recently. They weren't in 2010. At Kuchinari (where the vid was) the safe zone is enforced because those (annular) rockets are especially lethal when they mislaunch/explode on the pad. Here's one of the less destructive failures I've seen (sometimes they skim/bounce/roll horizontally before exploding): If you got matey with the team on the day you could probally "assist" with the transport of the rocket to/onto the pad and get on the observation platform that the teams have. The sound of those annular rockets is amazing.......like a steam locomotive (but louder) as it ascends into the blue. If I were a 10 day millionaire visitor the annular rockets..........erm, and Pattaya......are the only things I would think worth returning for.
