Just because you think there is "zero comparison" doesn't mean there is no comparison. 

 

1) Not everybody becomes belligerent and hostile while drunk. Some just go to sleep and become very tired and docile.

2) Not everybody becomes completely docile while high either. Some become extremely paranoid and act on the delusions.

 

People become addicted to THC period. It is no accident there is MA. Marijuana Anonymous and it has a global fellowship.

 

There are laws to prohibit people from driving under the influence of THC for good reason.

 Pot users are getting the standard azz whooping from the drug dealers profiteer play book.

 

1) Get it out there cheap and easy and get them hooked

2) start driving up the price

3) make em' jump through more hoops and start taxing them addicts

4) Police get involved making extra tea money on arrests.

 

Drug addicts get suckered again. 

 

Thailand is just running the drug pushers profiteer playbook game on they azz.

Yea, there are plenty of people with cannabis addiction, quite a few of them in Thailand. They are - in affect - drug addicts.

There isn't a Marijuana Anonymous Organization for nothing.

https://marijuana-anonymous.org/

It is an addictive drug that has become a problem for a great many people.

Keep going so we can all keep laughing.

Try a few puffs with your drink of choice. You're welcome.

I don't smoke weed or cigarettes, I used to do both, I have done and occasionally do recreational drugs, and i drink alcohol when meeting friends when going out.

Not addicted to anything but I do know how things work, the comment I replied to was ridiculous.
