What's with the ganga?

[CanadaSam]

EVERYWHERE, and I mean, everywhere in Pattaya now, there are ganga cafe's, ganga shops, ganga this and ganga that!

 

Do that many people really use the stuff?

 

I'm sick of seeing it everywhere!

[DontDoubtMe]

I agree, Bangkok also.  The potheads think that it's "cool" and that it gives those poor, deluded souls "street cred", though!

What do drinkers think? Oh, that's right, they don't. ????

Find a "drinker" and ask him.

Ooooh!  Touched a nerve, eh?

[pomchop]

Everywhere i look i see bars and booze..the drunks think that is cool gives those poor deluded drunken souls some sort of street cred....i am sick of seeing it everywhere and it has been that way for decades. 

 

Maybe they should outlaw it ....some kind of prohibition.  That always works well...for the mafia types.

It was just a joke. I used to smoke a lot but not for years now. When it hit the streets in Pattaya I thought I'd try the best quality I could find but it isn't up to the standard of the hydro available back home. I probably drink about 10 beers a month, that hasn't changed in years either. At 68 I'm too old for either now.

Definitely. I think the illegality was most of the attraction when I was a teenager, although that didn't extend to harder drugs which I have never tried.

Other words, it's the same as alcohol now, and people now have 2 options for a buzz ... if wanting.

 

I'm not a bar person, or indulge in P4P, but tourist ghettos have them everywhere.  When I am in the ghettos, I just take it in stride.

 

No use complaining, just break out my mental blinders ... and "keep on truckin"

 

Xanax may help you, since not a suds or smoke fan.  There's a stimulant for everyone, if GOD is not your co-pilot ... ????

A disgusting addicting drug should be banned.

Nobody is forcing you to take any drug you don't like.

 

@the OP

Do you post in the Women's forum you don't like women?

Do you post in the Gay forum you don't like gays?

 

So why come in the Cannabis forum to complain about cannabis.

If I were running the place, I'd ban you for 2 weeks to teach you some manners.

addicting according to whom?  u want addicting, smoke cigs or drink a lot of booze or guzzle that morning coffee....then try to quit and see how that goes.

There's a genuine discussion to be had whether the current amount of shops selling cannabis is tenable, outside of tourist trap area, I doubt it is worth paying rent to just sell buds or joints

Yes, of course. The boom - imitator (100X) - drive price to unprofitable levels - move on - bust cycle has been here since forever. Were you here for the "coffee-bun" fad, ~ 2006?

 

Any discussion on how few shops/"companies" survive now, with so many unknowns is challenging, especially with laws yet to be finalized. You will need a high concentration in tourist areas, but outside of those, not so many (per M2). Not that much different ratio from other "entertainment" service points.

 

So the shake-out may be significant. Who knows what the final production/distribution channels will look like. Probably two - four primary "brands", like everything here. But who knows? The Hope Springs eternal.

Didn't know they call it ganga in Canada

Some of the coffee bun survived as kiosk in malls, once attitude changed and malls start becoming more accepting, we might see Cannabis shop in malls too, but smoking anything inside enclosed space is still illegal having somewhere to sit and sample the wares are gonna be a problem still

 

outside of hotels and importers' own shop, there are hardly any specialist tobacco shop, so in the long run it's probably hard to justify renting brick and mortar shophouse just to sell some weeds.

Can't we all just get along, 3-4 hits and a few cold beers puts the world right.

alcohol and cigarettes should be banned.

Banning should be banned. We're all here to have a good time. Live and let live.

In Chiang Mai, a pot store has become the same as a coffee bar that you wonder how it stays open with 4 of them on the same block:

 

It's a place for upper income families to park an underachieving son who has artistic pretensions. My selfless (for research purposes only, of course) study of Chiang Mai pot stores has yet to find one that is not a trustafarian money pit. Often, there are many, many owners -which means that multiple families are splitting the bill.

 

On average, a pot store on Nimman Road shifts about a dozen grams of pot a day. With a pot glut already happening, those landlords will wish they went with another gelato purveyor.
