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

[spidermike007]

Just end the war on drugs. It has failed worldwide. And stop the backwards movement. Thailand needs progress, not regression.

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?

 

Pathetic comment! Just shows how little knowledge some people have of Cannabis!:-

1. According to Google, a definition of "junkie" is " a person who is addicted to narcotics and especially to heroin.  One does not get "addicted" to cannabis.

2. You do NOT inject cannabis! You can EAT it, in for instance, a "cookie", but under normal circumstances you would SMOKE it.

3. It is illegal to partake of cannabis in the shop where you bought it - in the same way as it is probably illegal to drink alcohol in Macro or Tesco.

 

"AnotherOneHere"? Sounds about right -  Go get some drugs education before you start spouting nonsense!

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

I think using alcohol to thin the resin for arm injection works the best, I wonder how many joints AnotheroneHere has smoked ?

Control cannabis use through laws, the law is only enforced in Thailand when there is a financial advantage for those enforcing! 

They cannot even enforce motor bike riders to wear a Helmut so their chances of controlling the use of cannabis is pie in the sky stuff, when there is a personal financial advantage then things happen in Thailand!

Well, knowing the RTP, their members should be running all of the cannabis shops by the end of next year, and pushing out the small mom and pop shops. Anyone who thinks this will do anything good for Thailand is delusional. Thailand is not ready for legalization of cannabis, they need to work on instituting a real police force first, then enforcing existing laws (all of them), along with rooting out long entrenched corruption. You can't add relaxing of drugs in a society of lawbreakers and corrupt entities and expect positive results.

It’s just more people who want to get a piece of the cake 😁

[crazykopite]

Imagine a multi million $$$ casino opening up and after a year or two due to a high number of suicide deaths due to gambling addiction they flip flop and close the place down these clowns are absolutely clueless I’m still waiting to see this 10,000 baht digital wallet coming to fruition 

[Pinot]

Let's make the 28 Billion Baht weed business that will double in 2025 illegal again?

 

The BIB are praying to baby Buddha for this to happen.

There will be more changes.

He appears to struggle with the truth.

 

Actually it's you who appears to struggle with the truth. For the past two years you have been insisting that smoking Cannabis was illegal in Thailand. It's only recently you have stopped that. I don't know why you keep posting on a subject about which you clearly have not even a clue.

It's not going to happen, as the deal to support the 10,000 baht scam scheme has been done.

If it happens that regulation rather than recriminalisation will actually occur then this is the logical move. Let's see what plays out and what "laws" will come into play. One thing is for sure Thaksin will not be happy. I wonder what behind doors negotiations have taken place. 

Behind closed doors? Nah,  on the Golf Course more like! ...............Anutin Birdied..........Takki Bogied !

They highlighted the money !!! Taxable money as 2.5 Billion  Baht or higher for 2025 !! Government income !!!

Is there a connection between the post that you quoted and what you have written?

Ignorant comment, best ignored.

[daveAustin]

^^^ Indeed. Hoping for their sakes they’re a troll. If not, thick as a plank. Or perhaps they’re right, everyone’s got it wrong and should be injecting it. 
 

On the ‘bringing drugs outside’, this clown probably thinks nothing of staggering down the street chain smoking with beer in hand!

PM, maybe this was all done to get some new brown envelopes.

Before they opened the can of worms maybe thinking it out might have dawn on them like legislation first 🤔

Object to proposal, get pay-off, support proposal. Easy way to make a living.

[daveAustin]

This will probably be the best outcome; letting people have the choice (but not openly smoking) and protecting vendors’ investments etc. 

 

Would be sad to see Thailand backtrack on this. Some devilish people would have all vices banned to fit their own trivial agenda and be damned everyone else. Don’t bother with it nowadays, but nice to have that choice as it should be in a modern, normal world. Pathetic to see my own country hasn’t followed suit. This is a win for the NORMAL people.  

[Kwaibill]

Not sure what the difference really is, but pretty sure classification as a narcotic is not scientifically sound.

Having just started again with some neuropathic pain bad enough to cause insomnia I will defo look into the ganja solution. I remember it worked well with a torn rotator cuff which seemed more painful than my open heart surgery, although that involved some morphine I think.

[Gilligan In Drag]

Anutin is just one of many fighting over this. I would guess that very soon the Pheua Thai camp will

push back with more about tough prison sentences and criminalization. If you were here in the early 2000's

 you know Thaksin gets homocidally maniacal when you want to talk about drugs in "his" country. Yes his country not the Thai peoples or yours farang.

He ordered police to shoot to kill anyone they thought was using possessing or selling drugs.

Whether they actually were doing those things was no importance to Thaksin and he made that a point that he didn't care whwtehr or not people were actually doing it or not just creating that impression was enough. No questions asked just shoot anyone.

And I would guess still that "the United Nations is not (his) father," ( an infamous quote of his when the issue of extrajudicial killings 

in Thaksin's drug war was raised by the UN, who threatened to send teams to Thailand to investigate, which seems rather quaint in hindsight, like the UN actually cares, any excuse for them as well i suppose) but he probably still thinks he's your your father.

Actually you are wrong and would know that if you actually used google to search addictions to cannabis. 

Cannabis use disorder (CUD), also known as cannabis addiction or marijuana addiction, is a psychiatric disorder defined in the fifth revision of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) and ICD-10 as the continued use of cannabis despite clinically significant impairment.

Wonderful, isn't it?.............................they seem to have a label for everything these days.

[ourmanflint]

Only sell it in dispensary type shops, no neon lights/party music/alcohol in dispensaries, no dispensary within 500m of school, no smoking/relaxing areas in dispensary, no smoking in public areas including beaches

There seems  be endless studies and research related to cannabis out there these days,  Every one of them  commissioned or funded by people or organisations with a strong anti  cannabis stance. This would explain why not one single report mentions any thing positive,  after all the researchers don't want to bite the hand that feeds them.   They cannot just keep churning out the same tired mis information every time , so they have to continually invent new issues. "cannabis use disorder" being one of them    Don't forget some people believe everything they read,  when it suits them and those who have never used cannabis personally, really haven't got a clue and are easily swayed

Yes I think that would be fair. Let s also do the same with alcohol, only sell in special shops, no neon lights/party music/weed in alcohol shops, no shop within 500m of school, no drinking/relaxing areas in the shop, no drinking in public areas including beaches

 

Let have some fun now...
