Patong – Relevant officials inspected cannabis shops on Bangla Road in Patong to check for licenses and rule infringements after a video clip of foreigners using a machine to blow cannabis smoke across the street went viral on social media.

On Friday night (August 18th) a team of Phuket Officials from the Kathu District Office, Patong Police, and the Kathu District Public Health Office inspected Bangla Road following the viral video. Cannabis shops on Bangla Road had their licenses checked and were reminded that smoking in shops is against the rules.

 

 

Weerawit Krueasombat, the president of the Patong Entertainment Business Association, told The Phuket Express that the foreigners in the video clip were making content promoting a new but unidentified cannabis shop near Phuket International Airport in Thalang which has just been opened. Police have already contacted them to come to the police station to be charged with various legal charges.

Their business has now likely gone up in smoke .....

The inventive spark of cannabis use shining again...though it always seems to circle round to a megapipe tunnel device invention.

 

Aka...."Duuuuuuuuuuude, lets make an ULTRAbong."

No way in the world is any new government in this country going to allow the cannabis rules and regulations to continue unchecked leading to such things as this and other types of behaviour..

 

Even in Isaarn, Cannabis farms have sprung up all over under Western ( Dutch) control producing large amounts. So, the big players from Europe are now well and truly here jumping on the bandwagon.

No, it's made the national news. Brilliant PR. Unless the business is closed down by the police, in which case it will reopen next week with a new name and apparent new owners.

pottheads united

this disgusting habbit of smoking pott or even tobacco should be banned from public places

and it is so simple to enforce it at low cost and great happiness for the honorable members of the RTP

put a fine on it from 5000 bht

wich is collectable by the arresting officers and allow them to keep this money themselves

the last is what makes it effective and inspires our noble cops

now L.O.S  is turning in to a different meaning before Land Off Smiles now Land Of Stinking

I'd recommend the Citradelic Sunset, officer.

 

It'll put you in a nice head space. ????

It is already banned from public places, including hotels. I seem to remember smoking in public can carry a 3 month prison sentence.

The "honorable members of the RTP"? So you're proposing the status quo?

I wonder how often you drink alcohol. If you do, shouldn't you be quiet about marijuana?
