unless of course one is a drug smuggler,  Seriously though anybody who needs to be told this should not be allowed to travel internationally. However, if cannabis is to become a "prescription" drug I see no reason for it to be treated any different than any other prescription drug  IE  if one has a script from their home country for medical cannabis there really should not be a problem.  I wouldn't put it to the test though, not yet anyway

No, this way of thinking does not take into consideration that there's no universal standard. In your home country cannabis has been decriminalized, it's considered a medicine, wonderful. But in country X, cannabis is still stigmatized, it's seen as a harmful drug that destroys the youth, not only that they created an expensive way of catching and arresting the possible violators to this. You country's standard is NOT universal!

Duh!  I come from the UK . cannabis is and always has been illegal, 45 minutes away is Holland were cannabis is effectively legal. I made many trips there but was never stupid enough to try smuggling anything back to the UK.  Its a  simple matter  to establish the legality . I thank the lord daily that my countries attitude to cannabis  is not universal

i would imagine back ache would get you nowhere,,  Cancer and epilepsy have been mentioned, but the easiest on the list if I remember correctly would be insomnia 

Chronic pain is generally covered by medical marijuana.

BBC News, 

I know,

Basically greedy money makers selling to smuggling gangs for mules to take to Europe and beyond including those 2 girls who face long prison sentences in Georgia and Sri Lanka.

Now the pressure is on the Thai Government from the rest of the world to clean its act up.

To many lives ruined for gullable people

And your point is? How many industries voluntarily self regulate? Hotel? Bars? Cars? Building? Construction? Water supply? Why do you expect dope to self regulate? It's a bit silly.

Business groups are fond of saying how they can self regulate. There are people in this forum who regularly complain about government meddling in business affairs. And now we see why some people cannot be trusted to self regulate. 

The Thai media sector is in large part self regulating, and the self regulations have been expanding

so with so many illegal things in Thailand being widespread  as you say , why do you think new regulations will make any difference

Because now  actions can be taken  against irresponsible shop owners. It's like the bar regulations. Get enough complaints and there is an enforcement action.

There is a list of approved medical conditions for which cannabis can be described, I have seen  it , there were only about half a dozen conditions on the list and I'm sure erectile disfunction was not there. It may not be as easy as California 

 

You got the list? I mean, isn't pain on the list? I need major joint surgery. There is pain. I need a joint replaced (no pun intended). This is not adequate? They're really going to require we're dying of cancer? This place has really taken a step back to the 1950s. Very disgusting. I'm going on a ganja run today. I'm going to fill my <deleted> hatchback with it.

Ministry of Public Health issued the list yesterday with the form... i think i'll pick one a month lol

 

The 15 eligible conditions include chronic pain, muscle spasms, joint pain, cancer, nausea, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, asthma, insomnia, anxiety, depression, and Alzheimer’s disease.

When are they going to set up this licensing bull<deleted>? When will they publish to the Royal Gazette? I assume they are closing down all dispensaries and it will take them like a year to figure out how to get a licensing scheme in place. I'm stocking up, to put it mildly. 

 

Chronic pain, muscle spasms, joint pain, nausea, insomnia, anxiety. If I report this, does my insurance company see this? Do I get dropped potentially by insurance? I doubt it. But god know. Are there going to be monthly limits? What are they? Can I pick my strain?

 

This is so backward thinking. Alcohol is fine. Bars everywhere. But this is somehow more dangerous. Oh, and I can get kratom, which is basically an opiate. I can buy that online. But cannabis is somehow worse. Oh, and they dusted off the old "cannabis addiction" mythology. We're back in the bad old days of Anslinger. Thais don't know the American history of cannabis prohibition. Same propaganda, different language. 

 

Anyway, where do I get the stupid license? /rant
