If you where the one who smoked your spliff on the ferry to Koh Kood last year up front in front of us, you would know who I was! 

 

 

 

 

BTW, I have never met or seen anyone in Thailand smoking a spliff.

    Anutin has been pushed out so now the Govt can do what needs to be done. Whilst Expats and Tourists will be able to get around the medical requirements for usage, they will no longer be able to walk d

    Nah, it'll be same as before, even if they manage to change the law (unlikely) the cops will accept bribes to look the other way and doctors will write prescriptions for 200bht.

    This poor, innocent plant has been dragged from pillar to post!   The Thai’s couldn’t organize a p up in a brewery!   Mark.

Somsak clarified that the current measures are not politically motivated but address ongoing public concerns.

nonsense - this is pure poilitics and prejudice - they've now got to squeeze the touthpaste back into the tube!!! - Totally ridiculous.

Agreed but weed kills motivation and is not beneficial in most business/employment situations

Utter nonsense - the thing is how do you tell??? - I know several very motivated and wealthy people who smoke every day - the thing is the only way you can say that is pure comjecture and confirmation bias - do you expect a millionaire to stand in front of you light up a joint and the "still motivated"???

somebody like you would probably have trouble venturing out safely anywhere with an attitude like that. I suggest you take your mum with you.  Anyway don't get too excited 11th of november is a long way off and tomorrow never comes. Its  not going to happen

What someone that doesn't like riding their bikes pulling wheelies up one streets, some that doesn't have attitude and starts fights every day, basically total aresoles..it's gone, go smoke your rubbish somewhere wlse

Agreed, in real life I have never met any of these whingers.

There must be some form of bravery that comes from taking pot shots on an anonymous forum.

 

 

 

Another spaced out dopehead, go away, the government have voted in favour of making weed legal for medicinal purposes only..if you like doing illegal things then this ain't the place for you...your ilk have ruined Thailand

Mark.

At least they tried which is more than the BRITISH have done; ie nothing but lock people up for year after year using it as way of harassing people; especially blacks, students, gays and anyone perceived to be on the margins of society. The Thais released thousands of people from prison in summer 2022. But the British and Yanks STILL IMPRISON people. Better than Singapore where actually kill people.  NO; The Thais have done a good job with their decriminalisation experiment; it's just a shame it had to end.

Realistically only the most "genuine" of medical users will be obtaining their cannabis from a pharmacy.unless its cheap and of exceptional quality The rest of us recreational miscreants will revert to type and carry on like we did before 

Yeah precisely. So if they wish to have it legal for medical use only it won’t work if sold in shops.

I will bet you that Somsak is gone before weed. He is in trouble big trouble over trying to protect Taksin over his hospital rather than prison stay. He is trying to deflect from this. Wait until it is seen how many turn out Saturday to protest against the PM who happens to be Taksins daughter. He is gone before for sure. 

That's great . Now they gona create an Underground Cannabis Cartel ! Or what you think all those shop owners will do ?

Only to the disgusting obnoxious people smoking the sh!t in public!

If you must do it I suggest do it home!

Only smoked one joint in my 83 years of life, in the UK in the late 1950s so your suggestion is irrelevant in my case. However, I have no objection to others doing so, in public if they wish, and I do not find the aroma unpleasant.

Flip flop, flip flop. Utterly hopeless 😊. Maybe the Govt won’t even be in power soon. Then it will get interesting

You really are a slow learner aren't you or maybe just ignorant and stupid.

i don't get this obsession some members have with "families and children",  any body planning a trip to Thailand is fully aware of its reputation and so the ultra conservative types don't come here, in fact they don't actually exist except in the heads of those virtue signalling on their behalf

 Anyway I am sure there are many other sights that such sensitive people should be protected from

Families and children are more likely to be exposed to marijuana in their home country rather than Thailand.

They couldn't pin physical harm on cannabis so they invented this vague "motivation" thingy. Why "motivation"? Why not consideration? Observation?

 

There are countless reports of weed induced Muppets whose mind has been warped by the drug and committed violence against innocent people.

Just like the other drug alcohol it makes people do things they wouldn't do if they hadn't induced into their being.

My, my, you are a very angry person aren't you?

Serious question, what have I done to make you upset?

What did I say to hurt your feelings?

 

I think that you need to have a smoke and just chill a little.

There was also a report some time ago about a guy who cut his own penis off as a result of smoking weed.

lol  I mean its up to you but don't believe all you see or hear when it comes to cannabis.

 

"mind warped by the drug "   Are you actually serious?   don't forget "men will die for it and women cry for it"  Reefer madness is still alive and kicking

That's a silly accusation with zero evidence. "What is a better way?" Gosh, almost anything. A bar should work just as well. Seriously, if you don't have ANY evidence, then please stop making unsubstantiated claims. 

Casinos are the best I believe

Don't think it would matter, this is a fight between cannabis and casinos, nothing else.

And the casinos owned by foreign nationals will suck all the cash out of Thailand.

Thaksin and treason rolled up together, and hopefully soon burned.

probably right about  it not mattering but you lost me after that 🙂 Not sure what casinos and Thaksin have to do with cannabis but I far from up to date on current events.

And I do know some wealthy who smoke also.  I also know of others that smoke throughout the day and have cratered their careers.  I also know from personal experience that I am substantially less productive while smoking.

 

If you believe smoking makes you more productive, I really could care less 🙂 I don't think it should be banned and productivity isn't the end all.  Sorry if my opinion upset you but you do realize it is an opinion?  No reason to get bent about it.

Wasn't cannabis said to "kill motivation"? Now it seems to be motivating people to commit violence. Quite a leap.

Like allowing people to build casinos and then outlawing gaming.

by that logic we should ban alcohol too.....

one more thing to put into the IF, WHEN, PROPOSED, SUGGESTED, box along with all the rest that either never happened or were never enforced or in other words...."nevermind".

 

My guess is that since weed was legalized that there are a ton of Thais who have learned how to grow really good pot .  I doubt they will hang up their garden gloves now.

 

Even now with weed stores everywhere there are still lots of "pop up"  night sellers all over the place selling their home grown off of a little table on the sidewalk.  One I know is within spitting distance of a big police station and they don't seem to be too worried.  I suppose if necessary they could add "doctors prescriptions" to their product line.

THat is just the lowest form of evidence and you seem to think it's valid!?!?!!?

You cut out a portion of my comment to misrepresent what I stated.  Is it really that important to be right that you have to be deceitful?  Sad man you are...

 

You need to chill and listen in lieu of being aggressive.  You are the worst type of smoker and the type that caused the ban.  You can only see your perspective and enjoy bashing other alternative perspectives.  I've smoked a lot over the years but completely understand others reservations and do my best to indulge while blending in.  

 

Dude - where is all the anger and terrible manners coming from?
