webfact Posted July 30, 2023 Share Posted July 30, 2023 Pattaya — A foreign man passed away in a marijuana shop in Pattaya after drinking what the shop owner said was a cappuccino. The cause of his death is waiting to be confirmed by the forensic team but initially believed to be a sudden cardiac arrest. The Sawang Boriboon Thammasathan rescue center was notified of the incident on Sunday, July 30th, and rushed to help the victim at a ganja café located on Pattaya’s Walking Street at 3:46 AM. The Pattaya News has withheld the name of the café pending an investigation by the authorities. Upon their arrival, the rescue team found a foreign man, Mr. Hamad Alblaiher, 52, of unknown nationality, lying unconscious inside the shop. Other customers at the café informed the team that the man had exhibited signs of shock before his collapse.

They mentioned a cappuccino… we don’t know what else he had and the interactions therefore, nor of his medical history. But why not just jump to conclusions? Not much intelligence needed to do that. 7 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gaccha Posted July 31, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2023 3 hours ago, Joe Farang said: mental breakdown episodes This is a question of risk tolerance analysis. I don't think anyone came to Thailand hoping to bring with them Blighty's extreme risk aversion.. Surely most people came to escape it. Whilst it is true that young men (around 20 years old), who have a genetic vulnerability to schizophrenia, can develop schizophrenia because of cannabis, this horrifying threat must be balanced against the reality of how safe it is for most people. The man who died here was middle aged, far outside of the risk group for mental breakdown, and indeed he suffered from no mental breakdown. Perhaps a sensible balance would be banning cannabis from anybody under 25 years old. So now it's a question of a heart attack and its relation to cannabis. It's important to keep these issues of mental breakdowns and heart attacks quite separate, or risk aversion will become the new culture of Thailand wherever Farang are found. 1 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because you prefer to just look for things that agree with your fantasy based stance.

It appears you do too, frequent smokers usually have lost a grip on reality. ..... cannabis consumption is also tied to smoking, You will be claiming that has health benefits next!
