The fate of the Bhumjaithai Party’s Cannabis Bill has been thrown into limbo once again, after numerous MPs refused to declare their presence in the chamber, bringing the House meeting to a premature end due to the lack of a quorum.

 

The House was scheduled to vote on Section 11 of the bill, which the scrutiny committee had proposed for deletion, but several MPs disagreed and wanted the bill to be withdrawn.

 

Pheu Thai MP for Lop Buri, Ubolsak Bualuang-ngam, told Deputy House Speaker Supachai Phosu, who was chairing the meeting, not to waste the time waiting for more MPs to show up to make the quorum.

why? this is the answer:

"...concerns grow over the recreational or non-medical use of cannabis and its extracts, especially among youth."

ok what concerns exactly ? lets have a discussion about these concerns. i keep hearing this sort of language thrown out in the news and all around by people. 

 

so lets get at these concerns.

No bill is a good bill IMHO.

If one had an idea as to the net asset value of all the pot shops (and the inventory of even the informal vendors) between Suk 23 and Nana 4, that might give a clue as to what is going on. Some of those places are palaces.
