There are negative things about cannabis? Really? Wow. You mean getting high, feeling good, and eating chocolate bars all day is a negative thing? 

There are issues.

Such as if you do high doses, it changes your brain chemistry, and you'd need higher doses to get the same effect, etc.

Compared to alcohol much safer of course. People don't die from cannabis.

There is a series on Netflix called Rotten which has an episode about cannabis edibles. They talk about young children in the states who accidentally eat a whole chocolate bar of their parent's cannabis edibles without knowing the chocolate contains a psychoactive drug. The kids freak out and end up in the emergency room at the hospital. Then they give them a bit of Valium and send them home. End of story.

 

*Note-To-Self: Consume a lot of cannabis and the hospital will give you free Valium.

How many blocks of crack do you normally smoke in a day?

[Jayaroi]

You are stoned? Asked whose got a green crack then how many someone smokes a day? What’s the link

[Jayaroi]

No I meant why is it so cheap others are 79 baht to 150 for a smoke and yet green crack is 100 for 2 blocks sufficient for six to ten smokes at least

To answer the title:  Because they haven't figured out how to make the weed money flow to the right families, like they have for booze and smokes.

True for sure,  but even more important is that they haven't figured out how to tax it.

change the law as quickly as possible,  at least try to get some realization of a sensible approach back into Thailand,  in stead of pot heads running around everywhere. 

Man, did you have your lunch stolen by a pothead when you were in primary school or something?

You're spouting so much nonsense; it's actually a skill. You're out here comparing methamphetamine to weed and talking about 'potheads' murdering their grandparents... like what?!?

Are you ok? I sincerely worry.

He is an alcoholic,  we can therefore  disregard his semi-coherent  mumblings on here as we would in real life.  Just imagine him sat on the floor outside 7/11,  ranting , drunk out of his mind,  in his filthy urine soaked cargo pants.  Get the picture?

That is nonsense, I smoke daily since 16 years with also breaks of 2 years and shorter periods of 6-12 months in between. Sure if you didn't smoke for a while (or long time), you will get high instantly just as you likely get drunk after only 2 glasses of wine. But once you have your 'base level' again, nothing really changes after how much or how strong it needs to be to get the same effect. Same as with alcohol, you might be able to drink X more but that's it.

You describe some extremely rare cases of a serious hardcore level rasta pothead, like snoop dog, who would really not be cool with anything much less than his grade weed. Even then, he would be just fine without any withdrawal issues in the average Thai dispensary, even he might hate it. Changes the brain chemistry? Ehh ok, I guess many things do that, including social media usage of 12 hours average among Thais.

 

The difference as always is between use & abuse. And for some people weed doesn't work, for others it does. Same as some only drink beer, while others only drink wine, and others only hard liquor. While the one drinking beer would be going bad on hard liquor, the one drinking it thrives on that and gets sleepy on beer etc etc etc. Idiot people are the ones whining doing something they don't, to protect their own insecure choices.

That it was, he also has expressed a dislike of Thai's in general. Waste of space with his 1930's outlook on drug laws. 

1930's? If I'm not mistaken you could get cocaine and opium OTC back then, and cannabis was just some exotic herb.

Was referring to this Jack,

The threat to make it illegal is for the recreational use.

 

Define recreational use.  

 

Go ahead, I'll wait.  

 

Think you've nailed down a definition?  

 

I'm stealing with from Kitty Chopaka but, let's say that I get a recommendations/prescription for cannabis for migraines.  

 

I am smoking a joint to help me with my migraine pain and take 2 puffs.  

 

Now my migraine pain has eased and I take a 3rd puff as I rolled a nice sativa that helps me focus and be creative and I need to crank out some writing for work.  Is that third puff medicinal or recreational?  

 

Keep in mind, I was not prescribed cannabis for focus, only for migraine pain.  

 

You starting to see how stupid the distinction between medical and recreational is now?

Vaping is not the same as inhalers. (and vaping is illegal).

Yes, I admit that inhalers are good - I take two of them for my COPD but this article is about banning cannabis.

 

I was responding to your statement that said that inhaling anything is damaging to the lungs.  

 

Remember this?

 

Quote

Sucking anything except air into your lungs is bad for you.

 

Given that respiratory therapists administer drugs every day via inhalation, it seems the damage is highly dependent on what is being inhaled, so the blanket statement that inhaling anything is harmful is clearly false unless we also want to argue that even the air is harmful.  And we kinda need air.  🙂

 

Cannabis could easily be produced in inhaler form.  

 

If the main concern is lung damage, ban smoking weed.  Make edibles and vaping legal and eliminate all forms of smoking.  

 

I don't advocate for that but it seems a lot simpler than making cannabis use for "recreational" purposes illegal and throwing people in jail.

sorry,  what a stupid explanation ...  young thais are already bonged off their silly heads from smoking this garbage. THEY want to ban it again because it was a ridiculous pathetic idea in the first place to allow it.  

It does absolutely nothing to promote good society or create responsible jobs for school leavers or enhance prospect opportunities.

 

They obviously come to realize there's enough nutcases running loose around Thailand as it is with yabba drug addicts and the likes.

 

Any country that allowed pot heads to open shops etc has failed miserably. 

 

Singapore & the Philippines has the correct approach toward drug users .....   

It's you that failed miserably because you see people are getting happy and prosperous.

 

Or probably you are happy to see jails were getting full of innocent youngsters. Such as psychopathy traits, I would recommend you to get some chills and infused in CBD lol

It feels so strange being super pro-cannabis but also needing to correct people for making wildly inaccurate claims about weed.  

 

Anybody that says cannabis isn't addictive isn't worth taking seriously in any conversation about cannabis.  The fact that your link is the first result of millions all saying that cannabis can be addictive for some people means that OP didn't even do the cursory google search before making a medical claim.  What other topics can you possibly discuss with someone that is willfully ignorant?
