Not the good stuff.  Right now good weed is 600 ฿/g, which is probably what they were stealing.

The shops in the tourist frequented areas are soooo overpriced. not in rural Thailand. ''high class'' shops (with a fancy decorated interior) sell for 250-350. if you know how to connect to the locals excellent bud can be had for 100baht/gm.

Yeah, sure, that's for local thai weed, not the good stuff from California or other imports.  Thai weed is still significantly less powerful than the imports.  I can get weed here for like 100฿ per ounce if I want crappy stuff, I'm talking about what they are selling at pharmacies, since that's what's being discussed here.

You mean they could look foreign but have a Thai Passport just like you ????? :clap2:

 

 

Another great way to ‘shoe-horn’ in your Thai nationality.... but you don’t really need to do that anymore, everyone already knows by now !!!!  ????

Yes, if you consider quality.  I can get 7g of premium weed "shake" in the USA for 1000 ฿ , or 140฿/g which is better than most of the local weed of far lesser quality I see here being sold for 250++ ฿/g

jesus, reduced to stealing a bag of weed.

I could understand something expensive and addictive, but weed?

As a heavy user, let me assure you, weed can be addictive.  https://nida.nih.gov/publications/research-reports/marijuana/marijuana-addictive. And as I've pointed out above, the weed these guys are stealing is expensive.  So there you go.

IMO, this chap was not stealing actual Cannabis flower but rather some non-pyschoactive (THC less than 0.2%) Cannabis-infused product, of which there are hundreds.

 

I support this opinion based on the video.

 

He should obviously be prosecuted as he appears to have committed a crime. He is not however a raving marahuana junkie jonesing for his next fix. (I'm assuming he's not a meth head.)

 

 

 

He might just be stupid and not recognise the difference.

Anything's expensive if you have no money. Addictive? Open to debate.????

What makes you think that they'll get the boot from here?  The pharmacy got the stuff out of his bag and didn't inform the police.

my bad I thought they were charged

what 'pharmacies' ? all I see in Patong is ''Organic Weed'' shops fronts - half of them closed.   when you mention Calif imports, i thought that's illegal.

OK, I haven't seen weed in any pharmacies, truthfully.  But the article says a pharmacy was the scene of the crime, so I'm extrapolating prices based on the weed shops here.  Maybe I'm off base.

I am not aware of any such law, where did you hear that?  Many Bangkok weed shops I've been to are selling foreign strains explicitly, which of course doesn't mean it's legal.  ????.  I saw the same thing in Pattaya.  Not sure about the islands,  I only saw local weed on Ko Phi Phi.

Ummmm, because maybe their passports and their names? 

Where were their names disclosed and what makes you think that they showed their passports before nicking the weed?
