No real regulation who know what is being laced into the weed. 

Since it was allowed, ive talked to a number of people who has smoked for years had problems.  One guy brought a brownie got really sick is it any wonder so many are flying off balconey!

She wanted to take the high road and ended up on the low one and didn't get anywhere before anyone.

That's a worry, you just don't know what you are being given when the source is clandestine. Similar to someone on YT who got very sick with lung infections and was suspicious of vapes he had bought.

Aye, the haggis had terrible eyes and is watching me.... Oh Robbie save me! 

 

Oh the things people do on holiday.  Seems like she's new to weed and over consumed. 

Only high level THC weed would do that, just goes to show you it's not controlled

Many years ago, my gf (at the time) and I went to Siem Reap with another couple and had some 'happy pizza' there. My gf ended up throwing up (bit of a buzzkill for me), but I was otherwise very happy. The other girl felt absolutely nothing. But the other guy had a strong paranoid reaction, believing there were Khmer Rouge guerillas prowling outside his hotel rooming window. It was his first time trying this, so maybe he just wasn't ready for it. He didn't mix with any prescription meds and he wasn't much of a drinker. Just goes to show different people can have very different reactions even when other meds aren't in the mix. I wonder if this was the first time for this lassie too...

Seems she had problems allready before she smoked weed.I have only smoke weed one time in my life.That was on my birthday when i turned 18.Im 62 now and i stay away from any kind of drugs.

Are you expecting a medal or something.  Nobody cares about your cannabis use or lack of it. Why are you telling us this 

[lordgrinz]

Is this what they call "reefer madness"?

There will be nothing laced into the weed , why would there be?   

Even regular smokers need to be careful when eating it is a totally different experience.

How many people do you think have "flown off balconies" following consumption of cannabis since the legalisation?   1? or  2?     certainly not many

Do tell.

 

 

Did she keep smoking?

 

This sort of reaction should dissipate in a few hours.

 

 

 

Weed sounds like fire, need a strain report I think.

 

 

 

Maybe her Danish friend should have left her alone in her room to get over her reaction and just keep a close eye on her in case of any deterioration - call a local doctor perhaps. Now the police are involved and Ms Henderson's retirement vacation could be cut short and involve some unnecessary expenses

[bendejo]

What's the strain and where can I get some?

Sounds like she may have popped a few edibles too.

I use 3 or 4 dried cannabis flowers mixed with honey and boiling water to make tea. I let it cool and then drink about 450ml from the fridge.

 

It seems to ease the pain in my arthritic kneecaps. It works for me, though I have no idea if it would work for anybody else.

 

No hallucinations since I started it about 2 months ago.

A tip for you: Do the Decarboxylation process on those flowers before you make the tea, by doing so you could yield 3-4 liters with just 4g of flower.

 

I do cannabis butter via Decarboxylation, last really long. I put half tea spoon on my black coffee, a full spoon will be too much!

 

Decarboxylation of cannabis is the process to convert the CBD and THC into a form that the body can digest fully. By maintaining 110-120C for 1 hour. I use a baking oven set at 100C. Doing for 30 minutes will also work at 125C.

I tried the happy pizza once when I was in Phnom Penh about 10 years ago.  Didn't really know what it was about as a friend suggested I try some. 

 

Wow, it was a very flavoursome pizza that I quite enjoyed.  The topping kicked in later when we went up town to do some bar hopping. 

 

Paranoia kicked in so I decided to return to my room and sleep it off. 

 

Would I try it again?  Maybe but take it slowly. Nice buzz

[brfsa2]

Must have been Edibles that made her like that for such a long time.

 

Most people don't know: Edibles are way more powerful than smoking, and when eaten too much it can last very long.

Here is a comparison, the more you eat, the higher red line will be and the longer it will last. 

 

 

The two lines would be:

1. Edibles (blue line):
   • Starts at 0 at the 0-hour mark
   • Gradually rises, reaching its peak (100%) at around 4 hours
   • Slowly declines over the next 8 hours, reaching 0% at the 12-hour mark
2. Smoking (green line):
   • Quickly rises to its peak (100%) at around 0.5-1 hour mark
   • Begins declining more rapidly than the edibles line within 2 hours
   • Returns to 0% at around the 6-hour mark

 

I used to make edibles all the time, but now I just do cannabutter.

Not really. Weed is known to have a side effect of panic attacks. Usually it happens to newbies, but can also happen to experienced users if using stronger or more than usual weed. The thing is - experienced users would normally know how to deal with it.

Why would anyone lace weed?

No true. New users or those who smoke once in a blue moon might get a panic attack from weak weed as well. It depends on body tolerance, the amount you smoke and also the environment where you use it.

Ms. Henderson purchased cannabis to smoke, after which she began exhibiting unusual behaviour. She became paranoid, fearing that someone was out to harm her...

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Strong　Persecutory Delusion.

Often seen with the  Methamphetamine addicts(it often makes them increasingly aggressive and dangerous).

Sometime it results in a  violent crime case like a random knife attack in the street.

Did not know that could happen with Marijuana as well.

This time, everyone around her was lucky; lucky enough; not to get any physical harm by the drug user.

But such an incident will undoubtfully strengthen Anti-Cannabis voices in Thai society.

And it makes a lot of sense why Cannabis is often regarded the Gateway Drug...

Ah, yes ... my only experience resulted in paranoia also. may have been influenced by wanting to sit close to the pretty friend I was with and having her hold my hand. At any rate ... I'll stick with being an oenophilist.

You sure it was your hand she was holding! 

 

Drinking wine is possibly more relaxing....

A 55-year-old Scottish tourist, Ms. Henderson, experienced a severe reaction after consuming an excessive amount of cannabis, leading to a public disturbance that required police intervention. The incident took place at a resort on Jomtien Beach Road in Chonburi on October 12, after hotel staff were unable to control the situation and called for assistance.

 

At 12:40, Pol. Lt. Sontaya Khonsap, Deputy Inspector of Pattaya City Police Station, responded to the call. Upon arriving at the scene, officers found Ms. Henderson in a state of extreme fear, crying and shaking inside her room, which was left in disarray. A jar of cannabis flowers, paraphernalia for smoking, and prescription medication were discovered in the room. Officers attempted to calm her down and escort her to the hotel reception area, but her behavior quickly escalated.

 

 

 

According to a Danish man, who had been friends with Ms. Henderson for over 15 years, they had been in Pattaya for just two days to enjoy their retirement. The previous day, Ms. Henderson purchased cannabis to smoke, after which she began exhibiting unusual behaviour. She became paranoid, fearing that someone was out to harm her, and isolated herself in her room. Concerned for her safety, her friend alerted hotel staff, who then contacted the police for help.

 

As officers attempted to escort Ms. Henderson to a police vehicle, she became increasingly agitated, fearing she would be harmed. She resisted their efforts, sticking her tongue out and making faces at the police and passersby. Police eventually managed to take her to a medical facility for treatment. It is suspected that her erratic behaviour was triggered by a combination of her pre-existing medical condition and an excessive amount of cannabis.

 

Police are continuing to investigate the incident and ensure the well-being of the tourist.

She was shouting at her Danish friend - 'It's gruesome'... to which he replied 'Touch it again Ms Henderson and it'll grew some more'

Neither do you know nor do I?  But my timeline since Weed was being sold in Pattaya look it up at one point there was like daily here news that people  fell off their balconies.  In 20 years here, I've never read so many incidents and it started around when weed was available sure I mentioned the one incident with the brownie I spoke to another guy who smoke it regularly his whole life said when he came here got some verified even for him it gave him more than what he was expected.

 

Last year, in California not Thailand but happens could anywhere due to lack of regulation!  a murder trial with this young girl 18-20 years old, her boyfriend gave her some weed to smoke for the first time. After she ended up stabbing the guy over a hundred time! 

The defense was as such that from the blood test etc.. whatever she was given it was laced with a product similar like LSD, guess what the evidence was enough she was found not guilty.  Go figure!  Can it happen!  I'm not going to find out ever never touch the stuff!

The gateway drug rubbish was dismissed as just that years ago.  Only the most fervent proponents of reefer madness continue to carp on about that. 

 

"This time, everyone around her was lucky; lucky enough; not to get any physical harm by the drug user"

Are you actually serious?  It was a 50 odd year old woman who had one puff too many,  talk about a drama queen

 

   "But such an incident will undoubtfully strengthen Anti-Cannabis voices in Thai society" (did you use AI to write that bit ?)

 

 

[sambum]

So she goes over the top with her cannabis consumption and she's Scottish - in the top story next to this one, a lady gets caught stealing a jar of skin cream and she is British.

 

Reminds me the tennis player Andy Murray getting  understandably aggrieved because every time he won a match, he was lauded as British, and every time he was beaten he was reported as being Scottish.

 

To explain to non British readers, there is a centuries old "disgruntlement" between Scots and the English, but at the end of the day if you are from England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland you are BRITISH.
