Khao San cannabis vendors face charges for operating without licenses

A joint operation involving the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine (DTTAM), Metropolitan Police Bureau, Chana Songkhram police, and City Hall staff has led to the pressing of charges against five unauthorised cannabis shops located on Khao San Road.

 

The crackdown took place on April 20, following the postponement of ‘420’ weed parties that were intended to take place on the same day but

Dr. Tewan Thaneerat, deputy director of DTTAM, expressed that the raid’s main goal was to engage in a proper discussion with people and business owners about the cannabis use rules enforced by the Public Health Ministry.

 

These rules include not selling cannabis products to students or individuals under 20 years of age, as well as prohibiting the consumption of cannabis in public places. Thus, only those holding a permit can legally sell cannabis.

Good, there should follow the guidelines for selling cannabis as it is still a controlled substance, get a licence and abide by the rules, as simple as that, but No, them sellers just like to push their luck and play chicken with the authorities.

They considered 'A spliff operation' but it just didn't sound right......

Given how easy it is to register I'm surprised people don't bother.

 

Now tell me if those folks selling NO2 balloons on KSR are "registered".

 

I think NO2 is potentially much more dangerous than cannabis.

 

I'm sure Chuwit will be along shortly to instruct us on the dangers of NO2, to, you know, protect the children.
