ed strong Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Its not uncommon for bar girls to visit the temple at 3 or 4 in the morning, i had one leave my hotel about 4am and returned a couple of hours later with a tattoo / etching of a temple down the back of neck and upper back.

Not to mention the other harsher drugs available in the black market!! (no puns). Allowing the free sale of cannabis has attracted all the junkies from the west to Thailand. The Brit was DRUNK! He was not high on cannabis, he was drunk on alcohol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy doesn't look like a weed user to me. Your claim is nonsense anyway and totally devoid of any evidence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobU Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 17 hours ago, Bday Prang said: I have no idea where you get your ideas from, Nowhere have I said that cannabis users are superior in any way to drinkers of alcohol, Neither have I said that cannabis has no effect on driving capability I personally do not consider the use of either to be an "abuse" so there is another word which you have introduced to suit your own agenda, whatever that may be. I have no issues about being quoted but I do object to people telling me what "i seem to think" based on nothing but their own deeply flawed "logic" So to avoid me falling into the same trap,answer the question, How much cannabis have you personally smoked, no need to be exact , lets make it easy for you, A) None B) a few puffs C) a whole joint D ) 10 joints, E) 100's of joints F) 1000's of joints Subjective opinion like yours is irrelevant since alcohol abusers also state how well much it does not affect them. How much cannabis I have taken is irrelevant, subjective experience is always skewed just ask any alcoholic. Objective observation is that cannabis users and alcohol users both have cognitive faculties impaired which includes levels of alertness. Therefore l, as I said originally, cannabis users levels of alertness are impaired just like alcohol users. It's been fun sparring with you but I think this aspect of the topic is exhausted. I'll leave the last word to you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I believe most of the criminal element coming into Thailand currently are entering visa exempt with stays of up to 90 days. Insisting on police clearances for all tourists would not be practical IMO. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll leave the last word to you. Well said. As I mentioned in other posts before (to some people "confusing"?), the discussion, about the different impact of alcohol, or Cannabis is obsolete, in the context of DUI. The lobbying of users for "their" substance is understandable. The rules will be changed. Its already in the pipe, on a not too small demand. At the moment, the public is distracted by another campaign. Btw, the recreational use of Cannabis in public, is already against the law, and currently a matter of "tolerance" in a "grey zone", incl. the content of THC in sold weed. To me personally, the stench of weed at any corner, and many venues, is not my favourite, and surely not a "comfort" to many other people. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I note that passive smoking where non smokers inhale the cigarette smoke is tending to be a a big deal, I don't understand why passive smoking/inhalation of cannabis isn't. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with the drunk brit breaking the law. Yes, where isn't relevant. But it's relevant what the Taxi driver did, and if he was (proved) sober when the accident happened. To take 2 Passengers, and no helmets is also against the law, when you mention it, like all those other “crusaders” inflationary using the term here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
