May 13, 20241 yr Popular Post Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced a formal study will be conducted before any changes to cannabis's legal status Cannabis Advocates Plan Protest Against Drug Classification Change Cannabis supporters are gearing up to protest the government's plan to classify cannabis as a narcotic drug. They vow to gather outside the Ministry of Public Health until solid scientific evidence supports the move. Meanwhile, some farmers, who have been growing cannabis legally since its decriminalization in 2022, back the government's stance. They argue that an oversupply has caused prices to crash. Prasitchai Nunual, from the Cannabis Future Network, insists that any decision by the ministry must be based on scientific proof of cannabis's benefits and risks compared to alcohol and cigarettes. The ministry has 15 days to provide evidence to sway the pro-cannabis groups. If convinced, they'll accept the decision. Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin hinted at allowing medical cannabis even after reclassification. The government promises to consider all views before the Narcotics Control Board makes the final call. Supporting the government, Montri Yiamsung-noen reports that 90% of the farmland in their network lies idle due to plummeting prices.

So nothing to do with the fact that it isn't in season to grow crops, yet alone plant cannabis seeds, unless you have an indoor hydro system!
May 13, 20241 yr Popular Post i have supported you since day 1 and still do. make thailand great again.....anutin 2025. ps....plants in the pic are lacking.
May 13, 20241 yr Popular Post Just put the same people on it who convinced the world that the world must be locked down to protect the public from The Plague. Then they can exact the same kind of economic damage as they pat themselves on the backs for doing such a good job.

Just because you smoke your own body weight in the green stuff daily doesn’t mean that Anutin is your buddy.. He hates your guts just as much as he hates mine. bob.
May 13, 20241 yr Hmmmm. Guess its time to divvy up the money. And the casino hits the news the same day. Interesting.

Most Thais of his social class thaink that way. As well as guys here too I reckon.

May 13, 20241 yr Anutin conducting a world first weed legal status? Actually, he's obviously involved in the business and wants positive results for himself.....so who knows..maybe it'll come out ok.....but we'll probably never know!

May 13, 20241 yr Popular Post 2 hours ago, webfact said: Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced a formal study will be conducted before any changes to cannabis's legal status Perfect, a study will be conducted by Anutin's clan until Srettha is gone, but the final findings of the study will still be inconclusive, and then they will need to rinse and repeat the study again. The perfect face saving solution to take no meaningful action and keep cannabis legal and in limbo forever. 👍🏼
May 13, 20241 yr The real issue is getting lost in the noise. As Anutin himself says “Thailand will promote cannabis policies for medical purposes. There has never once been a moment that we would think about advocating people to use cannabis in terms of recreation – or use it in a way that it could irritate others.” Given that medicinal weed is rated in all jurisdictions that I'm aware of as having a fraction of 1% THC, the future for stoners in Thailand will soon be at an end - as even Anutin says. But whether it signals a return to the earlier level of criminilisation remains to be seen. Given that the laws on possession of small quantities of ICE have been relaxed (or maybe just discussed, I'm not sure which), maybe something similar will be considered for weed. The businesses that went gungho into recreatioanal weed really should have known better.
May 13, 20241 yr Well, studying the impact of Cannabis was apparently concluded some years ago - when Anutin was Health Minister. Now, as Interior Minister, the very same person is doing a ...... study of impact? Keep up the good work, the excellent choice of ministers and possibly some data recording. Next will be the convicted flour trader in charge of ..... naaahhh, don't let us get there!

Otherwise it's just a placebo..

May 13, 20241 yr If your going to ban it then it must be a 100% ban that means closing down all the farms and industry cultivating the plant and if not Who is going to police it

May 13, 20241 yr If anyone to blame for this idiocy it is no other but Anutin He pushed to legalize it without any safe guarding , proper thinking and planning Now he is blaming foreigners operating illegally. I am not a smoker and could not care either way, but this should have been properly studied and planned. As much as all the pot heads are happy, do need to keep in mind, Thailand is the only place in SEA that has legalised it and Thailand is also a travel hub onto other countries. Plenty of knobs who smoke in Thailand and take some with them on to their next destination, only to end up arrested for possession of an illegal substance. On the other hand, you have hundreds if not thousands of people who have invested lots of money into opening shops but now will be forced to close down? who will compensate them? In case of Pattaya, there is a shop literally on every corner, almost as bad as 7-11, once they forced to close, they will also be in breach of their leases, who will force landlords to refund? and who will compensate landlords for their losses?

Do they really want to go there? This could result in them having to outlaw alcohol and cigarettes once the study proves how dangerous and toxic they are for human consumption. But, go ahead. Knock yourself out. Then ban them both. You have my full support and approval.
May 13, 20241 yr Popular Post It's a real bummer that the oversupply has caused weed prices to crash.
May 13, 20241 yr 5 minutes ago, ignore it said: It's a real bummer that the oversupply has caused weed prices to crash. They just need the government to come up with a weed buying scheme where the government buys up all the excess weed at a fixed price and then everyone will be right as rain.
