brucegoniners Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 Yeah, really it's a dumb law. Keep them away from kids and they're so much better for you than actual tobacco. And if they're going to allow pot then allow pot vapes! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post kingstonkid Posted February 13, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted February 13, 2023 What would things be like if the media stopped covering Thaksin and all the other dinosaurs and Thai people go to live in the new world instead of the old days? These are guys that really have no love for Thailand other than the money and power it has given them. This is the same Thaksin that says university students that get a BA in crocheting or learning how tourism should bet 25k a month no matter how good the university is or whether they have a usable skill. These are the same people that said hey, we are going to give you a 200k rebate is your buy a new car even if you can not afford it. These are the people that are willing to give farmers loans instead of helping them re org their growing to a sustainable style. These are the same people that do such a good job managing water resources that farmers have droughts for part of the year and are flooded out the rest. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackGats Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 If I'm not mistaken, this same Thaksin is in favour of repealing the legalisation of cannabis. Opportunism 100%. The government now in power has my vote for having the balls to do what most democratic governments will shy from, ie legalise a harmless herb that should never have landed on the statute books. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 When you read the full story, I find it quite, Orwell Animal farm scary , "National Council for Peace and Order, seized power and announced policies to Organize the society." Well that bunch of Generals failed miserably, I mean why not just send vapers for attitude adjustment as they did before to any critics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But children cant smoke marijuana, its illegal too. I'm all for legalizing vapes (im guilty of the crime), but I reckon that wont happen if asshats like Thakisn base the legalization campaign on false arguments and indirect shots at cannabis laws. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
