Which also tells what's going on, as we see daily. Fact is, 99% of all crime here is still locals.

Marijuana doesn't make people aggressive. Some people shouldn't do any drugs, as they might already be unstable. Marijuana is, and has been everywhere. People who are aggressive are that way anyway, it's just suppressed sometimes, and some drugs like speed, meth, yaba, and alcohol can add to it and bring it out. I , along with most everyone I know, has done it and still, and never have they become aggressive or dangerous. Jamaica and other places have a lot of corruption and instability, gangs who are doing the criminal activity, but blaming marijuana isn't valid. They're already that way.

If you don't allow dopeheads to come in, what do you do about the multitude that are already there? What ruins holiday destinations is organized criminal activity, brought on by profit. Human trafficking, drug smuggling of all kinds, prostitution, all reasons holiday destinations are changed, along with some officials bribed to look the other way. 

Obviously no idea....can be the fault of a thing but dope...go away you orrible little man

No, I'm not a racist or prejudiced. I'm only against idiots, narcissists, users of women, abusers of children, human traffickers, corrupt officials who help criminal activities, land developers who ruin wildlife habitat, and bugs that serve little purpose besides annoyance.

Yea, this is YOUR OPINION, many experts in Psychiatric medicine would wholly disagree with you. Pot head logic.

 

I contend that people who are "mentally unstable" (which is a very ambiguous term) SELF MEDICATE with things like Weed, Alcohol, Coke, Shrooms etc.. 

 

People who are "mentally stable" don't need mind altering substances to feel good. They already are mentally stable enough to be OK with themselves stone cold sober.

 

High boys and alcoholics who come to Pattaya for more hedonistic "feel goods" are more apt to act out and do stupid sh!t like the knucklehead in the article. Totally selfish, trying to get social media attention completely ignoring the safety of others in the process.

Actually some of the most dangerous criminals have not been dopeheads but just sociopaths that learned their behavior in childhood, and many were alcohol users and abusers of drugs that enhanced aggression, like those before mentioned speeds, yaba and meth. Many aren't drug users at all, but addicted to hurting or killing others..............https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-human-equation/201707/hooked-on-homicide

No, I don't make opinions but go by what research has found. Mental instability, which I mentioned, has more to do with it than substance abuse, as research has also shown. People that go to areas of prostitution, which Thailand's tourist areas are noted for, do think differently than others who don't. It doesn't take, nor need alcohol or drugs to know why they do this. People drink everywhere, but many can control their emotions, and like i said, some should never use any mind altering substances.

Wheelies are not dangerous if you know what you're doing, and looking at the pic in the OP, he knows what he's doing.

Next news item will be about the very same idiot DEAD on the roads of Pattaya trying to get the "perfect shot" for his Tik Tok account.

If you've never seen a crazy tourist on a rented motorbike acting like an idiot and then crashing spectacularly, it's probably just a matter of time. And if they only hurt themselves in the process, then so what?  But unfortunately, that's usually not the case. They run over a pedestrian, or they run into a car in an intersection, of some combination of the two. I've seen at least two such happenings.

People who have never tried weed think it's something that changes people into raving maniacs, when it actually has a calming effect. Propaganda by others who are biased and without knowledge, and who likely drink alcohol, which has proven to be a killer daily. 

 

So you think he can do a proper wheelie because he's intoxicated?

 

Why don't go away with your I'm the best sermons in every thread, as you have proven over and over again, that you can't organize your own life.

Where am I saying I'm the best anywhere? I don't say I have superior genes like some do, nor brag about my supposed riches.

 

I do what everyone else does here. Call out misnomers and false statements, prejudiced and racist words and actions, brown nosing instead of seeing reality, and those who think women are second class citizens, along with providing facts, with links to back them up.

 

Where did I say he could do a proper wheelie because he's intoxicated or that doing wheelies was okay? It's a dangerous practice if you do it on public roads. Doing them on dirt tracks is not a problem, as dirt track racing is just another risky sport which many like, including myself. Many pro riders have accidents, on professional tracks. This is why you can't come into a conversation and judge without knowing the gist of it,what others are saying before hand.

So, rather than accept your OPINIONS let's see what a decent AI machine summarizes from the vast wealth of reputable information available. So, your sophomoric conclusions from biased information (because you are an active user I'd guess) is incorrect. There is some correlation between THC use AND aggressive behavior. Long term use of THC and it's ill effects is still being studied. It certainly IS NOT BENIGN in it's effect on brain chemistry.

 

 

Here's a summary of key points from various studies:

• Correlation vs. Causation: Many studies show a correlation between cannabis use and violence or aggression. However, establishing a direct causal link is difficult due to many confounding factors (e.g., socioeconomic status, other substance use, personality traits, pre-existing mental health issues). It's also possible that individuals prone to aggression are more likely to use substances like cannabis.
• Increased Risk in Certain Populations:
  • Individuals with mental illness, especially psychosis: Studies have found a stronger association between cannabis use and violence in people with severe mental illnesses, particularly those in the early phases of psychosis or with schizophrenia.¹
     
  • Youths/Adolescents: Consistent cannabis use during adolescence has been linked to an increased risk of violent behavior and intimate partner violence later in adulthood.
     
• Mechanisms for Aggression:
  • Irritability and Disinhibition: Cannabis use, particularly high-potency strains or large amounts, can lead to irritability, restlessness, and disinhibition, which might contribute to aggressive outbursts.
     
  • Paranoia and Psychosis: Marijuana intoxication can induce panic reactions and paranoid feelings, which in turn can lead to suspicion, aggressiveness, and anger. Cannabis use can also cause or exacerbate psychosis, a known risk factor for violence.
     
  • Withdrawal Symptoms: During cannabis withdrawal, individuals can experience symptoms like irritability, anger, aggression, anxiety, and restlessness.
     
  • Impact on Brain Chemistry/Function: THC, the psychoactive component in cannabis, interacts with the endocannabinoid system and can disrupt the balance of neurotransmitters (like dopamine and serotonin) in brain areas critical for emotional regulation and decision-making. Prolonged use can impact behavioral patterns.
  • Impulsivity: Some research suggests impulsivity may mediate the link between cannabis use and aggression, particularly when cannabis use starts at an early age.
     
• Potency of Cannabis: Higher potency marijuana is more likely to cause violent behavior, paranoia, and psychosis.
   
• Long-term/Persistent Use: Studies indicate that chronic and persistent cannabis use, especially starting from a young age, is a stronger predictor of violent behavior compared to infrequent or occasional use. One study even suggested that continued cannabis use was associated with a 7-fold greater odds of subsequent violent crimes.
   
   
• Conflicting Findings: It's important to note that some studies have found no association or even a suppressive effect of cannabis on aggression, highlighting the complex and nuanced nature of this relationship. More research is needed, especially longitudinal studies that control for confounding variables and explore different subtypes of aggressive behavior and patterns of cannabis use.
•  

In summary, while the direct causal link is still debated and complex, there is evidence suggesting that marijuana use, particularly chronic or high-potency use, can be associated with increased aggressive behavior, especially in individuals who are prone to aggression or have underlying mental health vulnerabilities.

Read up what the definition of biased is. And when one has many friends, family and acquaintances that use the drug, that have never shown any aggression or hasn't heard of any from any other's of those acquaintances, that is some data. From ages 17 until now isn't sophomoric observations. Remember what I said. Some people should not use any mind altering substances and alcohol kills more than all drugs combined, and always will.........."Increased Risk in Certain Populations:

So you believe doctors over people who have done the same research as a passion? You do realize where doctors get their knowledge from and how many kill people every year by over prescribing right? Everyone knows a lot about some things, and little about others. Personal experience, along with that of others, along with research is a lot of data gathered over the years. Trump is a president a lot believe in, but that doesn't make him a good or even decent president.

I nearly got t-boned by one recently. 

At night, I was exiting Jomtien Soi-5, turning left onto Beach Rd.  I looked right but no headlights approaching so pulled out---VROOOM!!! A large motorcycle in full wheelie mode at high speed missed me by inches!  Because the bike was pointed skywards, the headlight hadn't been visible.  He continued down Beach rd, holding the wheelie until out of sight.  I had to stop and gather myself...hands shaking.  Too close for comfort.

 

have you lost the stutter yet ?    dddddave ?
