Thai people love Chuwit. Elderly foreign potheads hate him. Glad the latter don't have a vote in things.

Thai people believe in ghosts. A turtle coming into your home is good luck. Lottery numbers seen on trees etc, etc. Not a great reference IMO. One has to wonder who is doing the smoking.

Weed is a plant based medicine. Like most medicine, THC and the other cannabinoids, it actually is derived from a plant, or discovered in plants and then synthesized. THC is NOT suitable as a recreational intoxicant like alcohol and tobacco, as 93% of cannabis consumed is consumed by DAILY and All Day/Everyday users. That is people who use cannabis to self medicate themselves for other medical issues. Khun Chuwit is absolutely correct that it needs regulations and should be handled like a medicine for Adults only. 

THC is NOT suitable as a recreational intoxicant like alcohol and tobacco

Alcohol took me to the brink of ruin, my whole life for 40 years was dictated by the evil spirit.

Stopped drinking 4 years ago and THC was my saviour.

After playing both fields, I would much rather be high and dry than drunk and stupid.

 

As for tobacco, what a great drug to use to win the argument.

Totally safe and socially acceptable habit.

Pity is that a rational argument will never change the mind of the irrational. Alcohol I like but it's different for different people. Sorry you had a bad time with it. Unfortunately the uneducated of this world who have their 3 cups of coffee a day, maybe a packet of cigs, drink alcohol and are fine with it or are not (drunk driving, domestic violence, fighting etc.) view dope as some demon drug a drug that was demonised by a political decision. Coca Cola use to have cocaine in it. Boy I wish it still did. What a happy world this would be.

[dinsdale]

Whatever you think of dope this guy is an idiot just like the rest of them. Nothing based on any evidence just big noting throw away lines. Thailand will never advance as long as corrupt, uneducated cretins run the show. It's a real pity but the rich, corrupt minority run things. Anutin legalised pot as a political ploy. Nothing more. It was not about society.

No one has ever died from a dope overdose. The same thing cannot be said about alcohol. Mental illness and dope. Sure this is a problem but the illness already exists. The same can be said for alcohol. Some people can go through life with absolutely no problems from drug taking be it legal or illegal, and some others can't.  It's a shame that these idiots reduce any productive conversations on this down to some puerile, uneducated, selfserving endevour.

Chawit has his morality in a blender.

Anutin for PM.

Thailand isn’t mature enough to have it legalized. It was done for business purposes and not the baseless medical claims.

the question is what happens if they schedule it again? the industry is already a strong one and 100k Thais are involved. they can't possibly think they can clear it back out of the country.

 

one funny foresight was getting a million people to register online to grow it. the popo will be going address to address.

I'm surprised this idiot is still breathing, he has obviously been warned off his usual targets and sees this as a relatively safe way of maintaining his media profile,  (like many others).  But,   I would not be surprised if he was involved in some sort of fatal "accident" in the future

Yes. And it was found to be legal. ie medicinal use. Not for recreational smoking (which is currently not legal).

My opinion, weed should not be used as the means to increase tourism in Thailand. You want quality tourists scrap the crazy time limits that prevent restaurants form selling wine and other alcohol to diners.

Not mistaken,  but only partially informed,  like most regarding this subject !  Kids have been selling pot in schools since time immemorial. It's just that it wasn't considered newsworthy before.  I'm wondering how you never saw it yourself, but then again I seriously doubt you had many friends

lol I just watched that Charlatan "Mor Pla" conduct a kind of exorcism on the news on national TV, and I remember a few years ago some government office underwent a similar ritual on the orders of Prayut himself I think.

For god's sake its 2023  You couldn't make this stuff up, but I guarantee at least  95% of Thais actually believe it

[Bday Prang]

Things had been all quiet on the cannabis front for months since the original media frenzy.  

Could the resurgence of all this rubbish have anything to do with the upcoming elections ?  To think otherwise would be naive. 

chuwits name should always be preceded by the words "convicted felon" or something similar. His new found social conscience is nothing short of sickening.

Bet he's doing nicely out of it all though

If you listen to what this clown is saying now, it doesn’t even have any legitimate medicinal uses.

[Kalasin Jo]

He's got a personal political war going against Anutin. When he first started up it was not about weed, but corruption in low and high places. Frankly I'm weary of both of them now. And wasn't he in a previous life heavily involved in the " entertainment" industry? Go go go bars and such?

[DTL2014]

if he continues to attack Anutin - i think charges of ill gotten gains

Wonder why no Nation does War on Alcohol and Tobacco , the two drugs who causes the biggest ammount of deaths and hospitalization in the world ?

Politicizing Cannabis is only propaganda for the next elections . ????????

I don't understand your point why it is not suitable as a recreational drug

Because 1) it's a medicine 2) it can't be enjoyed by most people unless it's used daily and a tolerance has been developed 3)in other words, if a person who doesn't use weed regularly has a few hits they will usually not enjoy it or handle it well. 

Alcohol and tobacco are good examples of recreational intoxicants - i.e. they have no medicinal value and can easily be used occasionally and in moderation, and enjoyed by people without them having to be alcoholics or chain smokers.

Given the above why would anyone in their right mind (i.e. not used  drugs before) even try the sh!t if they are not going to enjoy it the first time?  ????

As for it being a medicine that is one of the best jokes I have read in a long time!

like almost all other medicines, it is from a plant. What other medicines are also suitable as recreational intoxicants?

They are recreational drugs because they have no medicinal value.

one of the most ridiculous statements I have ever read on this subject, no mean feat considering the rubbish that has been spewed out already
