I have the same feeling. Pothead haters seem to be often alcohol drinkers. 

            Its not just a feeling, its a fact. I guarantee that 99% of the most vocal opponents of cannabis are vociferous consumers of alcohol.

            Once they have accepted their dependance, as they all inevitably must, their self esteem hits rock bottom, they consider themselves the lowest of the low, until they get themselves nicely misinformed about cannabis via the usual official channels.  Then, believing all the rubbish they have been told , about "drugs" they start to imagine that they have stumbled upon a group of people a step or two below themselves in society.

            Their constant attacks on cannabis users and the vilification of cannabis its self are only an attempt to deflect attention from and sanitise their own issues.

              Not unlike some of the  the very, very unsavory prisoners who  picki on paedophiles in prison

but not all of them are excessive consumers of alcohol or vociferous opponents of cannabis,  As far as I am concerned no drinker of alcohol has the right to claim the moral high ground over the consumer of any drug.

If one had to give an example of hypocrisy its pretty much perfect

No, it almost a statistical slam-dunk..  "Vociferous" might be questionable but consumers? See the first sentence.

I suggest you don't go along with people who 'guarantee' without proof or reference. Use of the word vociferous in that context is more than questionable.

I was watching a talk by Jordan Peterson on You-tube a few days ago.. The "anti-woke" and "take responsibility for your own actions" guy.

 

He would like to ban alcohol..again. He says more than half of sexual offenders are drunk when they offend.. and about 50% of victims of sexual assault are drunk.

 

Those are "sobering" statistics.

What is it with this Anutin guy and cannabis? Why does he care?

Rumored to have leased a lot of farming land in Laos ???????? to grow the stuff making himself even more wealthy.

Was holding a balance of power in the old government so they let his cannabis bill pass, yet it was only intended for medical use.

He hates dirty farangs, and blamed them for COVID, which was reported  also in the UK  press, he is minister of health  with out qualifying in the profession.

Was arrested for drug offences in Australia but has been stated out side of Thailand so doesn't matter.

If you are going to try to smear someone, get your facts straight before you attempt it. Rumours, inaccuracies…

Saying it twice don't make it true..

 

It's always a good idea to get your facts straight before you say something that makes you look like you don't what you are talking about...

 

On the other hand it's good for a laugh... at your expense.  ????

Isn't the term, 'Quality Pot Head's, an oxymoron?
