Phuket to Introduce Cannabis Zones Amid Growing Concerns

It’s also illegal to smoke cigarettes in public which smell much worse than cannabis! And the cannabis we were smoking 20 years ago in Thailand smelled worse. When we smoked green bud, Thais didn’t know what it was. Times have changed. The health minister has been talking constantly about cannabis regulations. The horse is out of the barn. Big money is involved as are politicians. Nothing has changed, just more talk. As far as the RT are concerned, it’s legal, other than consumption in public. 

I think the smell versus cigarettes is a subjective argument. Some people will say one, some the other, is worse.

 

Its impossible to definitively say which is worse.

 

I will say that when I ride my motorbike down the road, I can often smell cannabis from a shop when I pass it. I don’t  notice any smell of cigarettes from a shop that sells cigarettes.

    I think the smell is great.....is it offensive to you ? So distinct.

  • Weed smokers will take no notice. Their brains are too frazzled. They have no regard for anyone else.

  • much better than that stale beer smell I experience everywhere.

Yeh just a week or two ago news was dealing with it at a national level. Now this.

 

Phuket makes their own laws, nothing new with this.

Supposedly it’s already illegal to smoke pot in a public place. See how well that rule has been enforced.

 

As I said before, they make their own rules and Anutin takes his percent of the sales.?

Phuket will soon add drug island to it's list of attractions. Another reason never to visit.

Great! we don't want old farts like you!

Get a life. Weed smokers have been around, if not for hundreds of years, but maybe thousands of years. Your life span is maybe 70- 80 on average. 😇 PS I won't be visiting your grave.
