Thailand to Control Cannabis Use through Laws, Not by Re-categorising it as a Narcotic

[wombat]

[herfiehandbag]

Regulation by legislation will certainly allow for some inventive (and lucrative) local policies around the country.  It is after all a B2 billion industry so inevitably there must be many who will have an interest in how it is to be managed.

 

Those who are in the business should be philosophical, and try not to get too "browned off".

 

Envelopes are readily available in 7/11 stores.

So no narcotic reclassification, and very little change will occur if any. 
 

Although it reads like the author isn’t happy about it. Ha ha, ha ha ha, ha. 🤣

[JimboB4]

And it’s not a change in policy “direction” they were never going to add it back to the narcotics list. 🤣🤣🤣. I’ve been telling you all that since they first legalized it. 🤣🤣🤣🙊🙊🙊

Yet another flip-flop, not the last one I'd suspect...

I tried but the needle keeps blocking up with resin? Do you think it would work up the nose???

 

may i suggest trimming your nose hair first.

It’s not a change in policy direction 😂 it’s a change in talk and attitude. And it’s a good one. You all need to just report the news and stop trying to spin it. You can’t write weed away no matter how much you wish.

Can't you junkies just inject it right in the shop if you really need it that bad? Do you have to bring drugs out where the children are?

 

Do you have to bring drugs out where the children are?

Of course we do, target them while they are young and you can expand your customer base of ganja injecting (?) hippy junkies.

There is no surprise🙄… the day recriminalization discussion hit the news, I thought to myself absolutely no way this revenue stream gets the ax… no way😏

[NorthernRyland]

More flippity floppity from the hub of flip flops. We can only imagine what tomorrow will bring. Will it be a flip, or a flop?

[RandolphGB]

Apparently Thailand also controls prostitution through laws. Everyone knows how effective that is.

 

Cannabis shops will be exactly the same as bars and massage parlours - monthly payments to police to keep operating.

Ignorance is not your friend. Try learning something before you vomit via your keyboard

Then you are wrong. It is not legalised. Only decriminalised.

Still plenty of time for dozens more flip-flops in the hub of U-turns before the end of the year, but this is the intended and expected eventual conclusion.

Yes, because laws are enforced in Thailand....Ummm.... hmm 🤔

Looks like someone slipped him a butter brownie and he came to his senses. Most likely he's just flipping from pressure and the fact that he could really never put that Green Genie back in the bottle. Too much $$$ in play...

[Thingamabob]

Good news. A mature decision.

[PETERTHEEATER]

I was heartened to read that Tony has recovered fully from his crippling illnesses and was able to play golf with Anutin in the Korat region over the weekend.

A miracle or, as we say in Britain " Allahu Akhbar". 😀

Not really. Cannabis already decriminalised, will now be regulated as per alcohol and cigarettes.

[Baba Naba]

Maybe he'll create his own brand like Snoop Dog and Willie Nelson! 

 

                  $$$/฿฿฿ is the spatula that flipped him!

He will flip flop again, changes to come. I wonder what is going on behind the scenes.

OMG! Finally a hero emerges! Exactly what will happen in 2 1/2 months from now that you can also forecast with total accuracy!

At least they move generally in the right direction. Move it more towards rational curbing measures generally... only incurring the equivalent of a traffic ticket if out in public, being annoying and such... draft health related directives to give to health related agencies. Make sure it's known that  smoking is still bad.  Vaping it is more than slightly less damaging to the body as rolling, so suggest healthier ways to take that medicine, like that or via sublingual drops or edibles or whatever.

 

I'd say higher fines for unlicensed selling. Get biznesses in the system. 

 

Go harder after yaba and meth related things. Keep mafia out of the profit loop as much as possible. . 

 

Review alcohol and meth more, and worry about those problems. Less focus on weed strictness..

 

Anti weed folks have no answer but more strictness, which creates problems. That does not work.

 

Balance justice better between alcohol and weed. What causes more damage? We know this. Don't even try to sat weed is more harmful.

Don't worry.

Anutin will flip-flop again.

There will be more changes.

He appears to struggle with the truth.

 

I concur! More U turns than an RSM on a parade ground! Businessman he may be, but politician he is not, and loses his cool at the drop of a hat.

LOS = Land of Sinsemilla!
