What's with the pregnant women ban? Are they not capable of deciding for themselves to puff or not to puff? Or breast feeding? How will the vendors check that out? Heads in the clouds, as per. And what man has EVER experienced the pain of child birth? Why are they being allowed to rule on this?

Why would they? Nothing has changed. And since everyone is allowed to grow it you can’t stop people from selling it. They are just calling it “controlled herb” but they are not controlling anything.

I think the strong anti cannabis views amongst the uneducated on this forum  are due to a personality disorder which leads certain unfortunate people to  unquestioningly believe  anything they are told by governments,

Are you saying that anyone who is "anti cannabis" is "uneducated" and has a "personality disorder"?

 

If so I think you are the "uneducated" one here who most definitely has a "personality disorder"!

 

A crass statement that does your cause only harm!

Flowers or buds cannot be sold to people under 20, students and undergraduates, as well as pregnant women.

So one must have a master degree in order to buy?

Back to school, I guess...

I'd rather have the death penalty for having marijuana rather than have Anutin as Prime Minister. 

That Guy still confuses me, is he an Member of parliament or an army osifer,  talk about double standards, a good nip&tuck would be a good move.lol

For me the worst thing about the lack of clarity around the cannabis issue is that every (little) twist and turn just encourages the numerous anti-cannabis posters on the forum to show up and bewail the imminent collapse of civilization as we know it..

 

The average age of these posters, subjected to decades of anti-cannabis propaganda, explains their positions. They have lived their entire lives being fed BS and seeing people being sent to prison for this herb. Lives side-tracked. families affected by seeing their loved ones suffer for nothing..

 

Hear me, old dudes and those who can't adjust to changing times.. The Drug Wars are being wound down.. Drugs won. The people won. It was always about freedom of choice to consume cannabis or not. My body, my choice, just like the furor over abortion. Bodily autonomy.

 

The "antis" lack education and experience with the issue, but that doesn't stop them weighing in..

 

Once the issue is settled these people are going to have to be quiet and live with the new reality.

The problem with the lack of clarity is that Anutin and the BJP failed to do their job properly in writing the bill in the first place. If they had taken their time and consulted with all the interested parties, written and rewritten it until most people were happy with it, they would have been fine.

 

However they made a dogs breakfast of it, and kept modifying it and probably will for a long time yet.

 

They failed the 6 P test.
