I don't like the smell either but understand that substantially more harm is done to society by criminalising countless people for partaking in what has been shown time and time again to be a relatively harmless plant. Destroying lives for no good reason and reopening the door to police corruption. Worse than that are the number of people and politicians attacking this plant for what are at best purely selfish reasons. Move Forward are the worst offenders here, putting aside their supposedly high principles for political advantage. PT and the Democrats wouldn't know high principles if they bit them on the <deleted>. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CLW Posted November 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2022 In reality, nothing is going to change. That's my two cents. For how many decades prostitution is illegal in Thailand and yet I haven't seen them closing down Soi Cowboy, Nana Plaza or Pattaya Walking street... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Robbie2618 Posted November 12, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 12, 2022 Can't be sold to students. What exactly does that mean? There is a provision that no one under 20 but does this student clause exclude let say a 23-year-old who is enrolled in university cannot buy or use it but a 23-year-old not in enrolled in school can?? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBF Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 This thread is an example of how confusing the whole legality issue is! I'm not a user so it doesn't really concern me, but if I was I'd be alternately delighted and disappointed by the changes in the Cannabis laws. I would certainly be too scared to try and negotiate the purchase of it, in no small way because, as we know, in Thailand, if the police say you're guilty of something, at the very best it just gets expensive. I actually think it should be treated like alcohol - licensed and regulated, but then I think the same in the UK - at least the laws are clearly defined here.

".............in Thailand, if the police say you're guilty of something, at the very best it just gets expensive." How right you are! A while ago, in the bad old days of Covid restrictions, I heard of a guy who was sitting at a table at the other side of a narrow soi from a bar when it got raided by the BIB for illegal drinking. He got roped in with the others, and to make it "brief" (pun intended) he was going to plead not guilty, and the official court interpreter told him that if he did , he would be remanded in custody for a week at least, he would have to get a lawyer (at considerable expense) and when he came back to court he would be found guilty ("guaranteed") and get twice the punishment that the "guilty" pleaders got! So he decided to plead guilty! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kalasin Jo Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Oh dear, just when the fun had started. Seems as of today the " herb" ( love that) cannot be advertised or sold online. This article is nevertheless accompanied by an advert on my screen! A shame but sales online would defeat the objective. I welcome the prohibition of sale to those under 20, students ( although presumably some students are aged 20+), pregnant and lactating ladies and by vending machines. Licensing of vendors is a good idea. For it stop people growing at home for personal consumption. Round these parts it's still rare, unlike the totally illegal yabba which is everywhere.

Sorry - I am no fan of Anutin, ("Auntie A"?) but you should make yourself aware of the defamation laws in Thailand, as I think you may be referring to this guy ( With a few more names, he could be named after the members of a football team!) :- Thamanat Prompow,[1] also known as Thammanat Prompao,[2] Yuthaphum Bophlom,[3] Manat Bophlom,[3] and Patchara Prompao,[3] is the former Deputy Minister of the Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry of Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Educate yourself if you don't want to become the equivalent of an American election denier. Nothing about cannabis is illegal. Legal things can be controlled. Well, you actually mean weed is not illegal itself but what you do with it and where and how can be depending on what you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bkk6060 Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) There are already too many empty shops with many more opening daily.
