Accidental Tourist Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Scrolling over the comments... seems there a lot of weed smokers on this board. Cannabis was and is a drug that should be sensitive control,as the regular public is not educated of the use. Seeing young kinds smoking marijuana at the age of 10 and below, shows it all...is all money making and a free ride on drugs 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"'since" Since the liberalisation of the law. Between then and now and not before. So yes the "opperative word" as you say is since. Since the liberalisation of the law (when the law was liberalised) farmers profits have reduced or initially the small number of farmers cultivating saw good profits but as the number of cultivators rapidly increased those farmers saw their profits reduced. As I said this would be because more dope was being cultivated, more on the market, market prices dropped and profit margins were reduced. I believe I did read it properly thank you and I also know what since means If its any help a friend told me he could get a kilo brick before legal for 5k or less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Smoke screen - no pun intended. Wondering what the real script is behind Anutin's pushing FOR the weed and the RETRACTION once Anutin moved from health to interior ministry. Interesting script which I have not completely deciphered yet. Retaliation of any kind by the puppet master? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post daveAustin Posted May 15 Popular Post Share Posted May 15 Any ruling on this, even if there are detrimental effects, would not make a blind bit of difference since people will still smoke it.

Just then two big healthy dicks [detectives] came from behind a car nonchalantly and said to us, ‘We’ll take the roach, boys.’” Detectives confided in Armstrong that the arrest was prompted by a bandleader who was jealous of Satchmo’s natural talent and called a “stool pigeon” on him. Luckily, the detectives were fans of Armstrong’s music, and although he spent nine days in the Downtown Los Angeles City Jail, his jaunt to jail only proved to cement his love of the plant. That’s one reason why we appreciated pot, as y’all calls it now. The warmth it always brought forth from the other person – especially the ones that lit up a good stick of that ‘shuzzit’ or gage, nice names.” — Louis Armstrong (Satchmo) Source: https://www.leafly.com/news/lifestyle/louis-armstrong-and-cannabis# Edited May 15 by Ebumbu 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it a staged for the media photo opportunity? Or are you seriously trying to tell us you have actually witnessed this in real life? If that was the case did you fulfil your civic duty and inform the authorities ? How much money do you think the 10 year olds bring to th table?

Popular Post brfsa2 Posted May 15 Popular Post Share Posted May 15 Society now a days is so fkd up, with so many abandoned and neglected children, bad schools and bad education system, all the raping in the Thai TV dramas, Canabis is a least the minor issue I would say... They just want to take away our only form of escape and recreational without paying taxes on it. They cannot tax cannabis and they failed to get rich, so they want to take it back. Not to mention the big revenue loss to the police, they must be desperate. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old you too can enjoy yourself at a party with everyone drinking etc when you're cold stone sober. Everyone knows this is complete BS. Protect the children? Well this is just more BS. Protect the children from what exactly? Legal drugs or illegal drugs. It's all out there and readilly available legal or not. Making something illegal changes nothing except what was once legal is now illegal. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The regulations specifically forbid selling it to children, were you not aware of that.? The regulations for alcohol are the same, It's forbidden to sell it to kids . but available to adults. What possible argument is there for allowing adults to consume alcohol but forbidding them from consuming cannabis, ? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So why is an alcohol ban not already in effect, its been around long enough for the damage it causes to be well documented, and its is sold to adults in sufficient quantities and strengths to actually kill a child. Surely you agree its a no brainer ? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you are holding yourself up as a typical example? Firstly it shows that anyone who wants it can get it even if it is "banned" or "illegal" Secondly it shows that you don't get addicted And somehow it turns "children's'" minds to mush but not yours. But I see no reason in your post to make it illegal again. (just because you don't like it is really not sufficient reason) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isandrew Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 If the country wants to make it illegal fair enough thats down to them, its just wild to think you get the same punishment for a bit of weed as you would a class A (hard drug) people will be getting locked up for 10+ years for weed is.....

sumaterani Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 (edited) Bad old news for delusional haters, cannabis has went through 3 clinical trial as it performs therapeutic effects to help cure: ANXIETY DISORDER, BIPOLAR DISORDER, PTSD and probably Schizophrenia too NCBI mental health journal Cannabidiol by Harvard MD (Summary below) 'The evidence for cannabidiol health benefits.' CBD has been touted for a wide variety of health issues, but the strongest scientific evidence is for its effectiveness in treating some of the cruelest childhood epilepsy syndromes, such as Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome (LGS), which typically don't respond well to antiseizure medications. In numerous studies, CBD was able to reduce the number of seizures, and, in some cases, stop them altogether. Epidiolex, which primarily consists of CBD, is the first cannabis-derived medicine approved by the FDA for these conditions. Animal studies, and self-reports or research in humans, suggest CBD may also help with: Anxiety: Studies and clinical trials are exploring the common report that CBD can reduce anxiety. Insomnia: Studies suggest that CBD may help with both falling asleep and staying asleep, in part by helping address chronic pain and anxiety. Chronic pain: Increasingly, human studies are substantiating the claims that CBD helps control pain. One animal study from the European Journal of Pain suggests CBD could help lower pain and inflammation due to arthritis when applied to skin. Other research identifies how CBD may inhibit inflammatory and neuropathic pain, which are difficult to treat. Addiction: CBD can help lower cravings for tobacco and heroin under certain conditions, according to some research in humans. Animal models of addiction suggest it may also help lessen cravings for other addictive substances such as alcohol, cannabis, opiates, and stimulants. Outside of the US, the prescription drug Sativex, which uses CBD as an active ingredient, is approved for muscle spasticity associated with multiple sclerosis and for cancer pain. Within the US, Epidiolex is approved for certain types of epilepsy and tuberous sclerosis.

RocketDog Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 I'm back in the states in Colorado to sell my house. So I went to a local shop and bought some 28% THC. I got to admit that stuff knocked me on my ass. And I really can't take more than a hit or two. I don't think daily use of that kind of stuff would do me any good at all. YMMV 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
