True, the weed campaign is a vindictive sideshow, stick to exposing corruption.

Thanks Rooster. A good crow! I'd say the same for gambling. Legalise, regulate and tax. It's never going to go away. And set up gambling addiction help centres.

Good on you mate!

Is that just your opinion, or do you have some backup survey data to support your statement?

I somehow found it easier to focus on audio better without the video, and you were coming thru directly on my Bluetooth hearing aids.

Please consider a pro mic if you're going to do these regularly. 

Thanks for the op-ed.

Not sure of your credentials to suggest this. Or are you just a (recreational, of course) smoker?

Chuwit's main target is (are we even allowed to mention?) An@tin, the (now ex-) health minister, far more than cannabis itself.

An@tin's popularity is such that in the latest NIDA poll (which AN has covered) asking who voters want as PM, the “no-one” answer at 6.1 percent got nearly three times as much as his 2.5 percent.

Chuwit has so far won the battles to try to stop him publicising what is wrong (most of which we are not allowed to mention here). He is not campaigning as a politician.

In any case, the Thai “free cannabis” marketing has been a sick joke, a million shops springing up selling g0d knows what rubbish. There is no reason why it should not continue to be illegal and prosecuted.

So there is no corruption driving the cannabis marketing? Yeah, right......
