I believe there is a demo in Bangkok on 7th of july 

i find your pathetic attempt at trying to emulate a potential  pot smoker rather insulting, it also proves your complete lack of knowledge, Another one who should just go away

 

 Just smoke a bowl and you'll mellow out. Toke up and let the anger melt away.

Irrational and illogical comments... One is prescribed by doctors, and in regulated dosage..the other is unregulated, very addictive...

Seriously ill people who get shots of such painkillers become every bit as addicted as street junkies.

I do plenty of research every day , the practical sort, I have been doing it for 40 years, So I have first hand practical experience.   you on the other hand prefer to believe the contrived and twisted results of "research" commissioned and funded by those with an agenda. You have no practical first hand experience to draw on so basically you don't have a clue what you are talking about. better if you stop posting its becoming embarrassing.   If you don't want to smoke it fine, nobody is suggesting you should, but you need to stop interfering in the choices other grown adults  have made.  

Ah, ok...but you believe your research results.. you young whipper snapper...oh course you are a user.

Everybody is different and drugs can affect people in different ways, maybe some people do become violent after using weed.   Pales into insignificance compared to alcohol linked violence though 

I have never been violent as a result of weed and I don't know of anybody who has,there is nearly always alcohol involved but that does not suit the narrative so it does not get a mention

Causing violence is the most pathetic contrived excuse for banning weed,  you must be getting desperate, go chill out with a few beers and some nice scotch, you'll feel better when you have slapped the mrs

Oh course it aff ct different people differently, that's why it should be under medical supervision.

I love you Reefer Madness types spewing anti-marijuana propaganda about something you have a negative preconceived notion about.

I smoked pot a lot, and I mean a lot, back in high school and college.  I never bought it.  It was just available in the social crowds I ran in.  I've met one person in my life who actually believed they had a cannabis addiction.  Everyone else I know could take it or leave it.  When I left college, my free supply of cannabis was no longer around so my intake decreased to a few times a year.

Cannabis isn't addictive.  Cigarettes are addictive.  Highly addictive.  I quit smoking cigarettes in my 20s because it simply was counter to my athleticism. It was one of the most difficult things I ever did.  I used pot to get through the worst of it.  Then eventually as I got older, I simply stopped using cannabis for no other reason than most of the people I then hung out with weren't pot smokers.  In my opinion, cigarettes should be banned.  They are addictive and they kill.  Cannabis?  "Pfft!"

So keep up the propaganda. Kick back and enjoy your whisky, tobacco, and your anti-cannabis rants.
  "Cannabis is addictive and is the scourge of youth!  Arrrggghhh."  
  No - it's not.

Just google is cannabis addictive...

[Aussie999]

So many addicts voting me down...seems I touched a raw nerve... Can't live without their cannabis... And they say it's not addictive, fact, for some it is 

[JellyBabies]

I have a question or two and no doubt I will be attacked for them

 

before I start please note, I don't smoke weed due to the fact that I never started smoking cigarettes, I also don't drink alcohol anymore I gave up 15 years ago for my health 

 

Why do weed users constantly attack alcohol as a way of justifying their use of weed?

 

if its so great, sell the positives and not dig a grave of negatives

 

Next if weed smokers are so cool and chilled out why do they get so angry when people question their use of it?

 

does this mean you are not smoking enough to bring this cool chilled vibe that you all refer to?

Another hippy relying on the 1970s Woodstock era myth of marijuana is harmless. It's not!!!..it's a dangerous mind altering drug that causes abnormal behaviour in it's users...including physcotic episodes which can lead to violence. No wonder there is so many violent outbursts each day in Phuket and Pattaya

Back to crazy Ralph and Reefer Madness daze. Sorry never seen any pot heads turning into zombies but seen hundreds of foreign drunks causing problems daily. Thailand is the foreign alcoholism hang out in the world.

What has smoking cigs got to do with smoking weed?  That's like saying I don't drink beer because I never started drinking pepsi 

We don't care if you drink alcohol or not weed smokers are unlikely to intrude on your lifestyle

We don't need to justify our use of weed to you or anybody else and we generally only refer to alcohol to highlight the hypocrisy of  those who drink yet condemn those who use weed

Would you not start to get a bit pi$$ed off by sanctimonious others constantly criticising and insulting you 

Selling the positives, why should we, no doubt if we tried we would be condemned as "drug pushers"

But that's an interesting point, if you look at any of the drug "information" rubbish on the internet or anywhere else, anybody researching the effects of cannabis would be told , Paranoia, Nausea, Anxiety, Memory loss, one would be at a loss to understand why anybody would willingly  smoke it at all ,what with effects allegedly similar to those accompanying Chemotherapy   

But there is a lot more to it than that and I am not inclined to educate you today so you will have to try it for your self, if you really want to know

But there aint enough weed in the world to provide a cool vibe when talking to ignorant people who seek to tell one what one can and cannot do

It’s less addictive than alcohol, less addictive than opioids, but just because it’s less addictive doesn’t mean that it’s not addictive.

Please don't try to educate me, I am educated enough thanks, I have Dr in front of my name (and not the PhD type)

 

your constant justification argument is like a rapist saying "but at least I am not a pedophile"

 

and yes there is a connection to smoking cigarettes and then later weed, it involves the same action, inhaling smoke into your lungs

 

not quite understanding as to your banal connection between Pepsi and alcohol, why not water, milkshakes? 

 

to put it bluntly to educate me, first educate yourself

 

and now go smoke some more weed and chill out, apparently it makes people all warm, cuddly and happy

Woodstock 1999 had a lot of violence.

Woodstock 1969 did have a few deaths.

Despite the crowd numbering roughly a half million people, there were only two recorded deaths at Woodstock — one person died of a drug overdose, ( NOT Cannabis) and another was accidentally run over by a tractor while sleeping in a nearby hayfield. There were over 700 overdoses recorded, but only the one was fatal.

There were also two recorded births, so there were the same number of living people at Woodstock at the end as there were at the beginning.

For the most part, it really was “three days of peace, love, and music". 

Woodstock 1969 theme was love and peace, a very different era to 2025.. can't really compare. 

Even in 2025, there are plenty of Open-Air concerts around the world, incl. Thailand, to compare.  

 

https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychiatry/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2022.746287/full Well, we could keep up this discussion, back and forward, for years. It`s an interesting read, though,

First of all, yes, you are correct. Psychatric doctors are against medical cannabis, because of lack of scientific evidence. But as everywhere, there are some exceptions.

I think it is not because you, and many, many others, are against cannabis, but it`s the way how you people communicate in this matter. Why are you Anti-Cannabis people always gaing to try to go after us? 

Have you ever seen, that cannabis users are going after people drinking alcohol, after cigarette smokers, after Go-Go Bar visitors😂, after anyone that does something different? Live and let live, mate.
