In 2018 Thailand reformed its laws to legalise medicinal cannabis in the country. In 2022, the government went a step further, decriminalising the possession and use of cannabis if it contained less than 0.2% of THC per dry weight. The law thus narrowed what was defined as medicinal and not medicinal.
Yeah - thats brutal... Transport costs across Europe are outrageous.
We can get a £25 flight to Paris (baggage free) - but the taxi to the airport costs £200 !!!
There are certainly pro's and con's to either location - I just think sensible balance needs to be applied when making that comparison.
To rent my house here in BKK: It would cost about - 80,000 baht (£1700) per month
To rent a 'decent' house in the UK: It wold cost the same... But thats not a fair comparison, because I am not comparing Capital to Capitial... But in balance, I am comparing where I 'would' live.
As also mentioned - houses can be found in the UK for £1000 per month... perhaps not very large or great, but perfectly liveable... But money definitely goes further here....
And if I chose to Live in Hua Hin for Example - I cold probably get a nice Pool Villa for 60,000 baht per month - that can't compare to the UK...
Eating out in the UK is outrageous... Eating out here in Thailand is highly variable - but standard daily meal much cheaper as less than £5 (B200)... But, Wife spends loads on Grab Delivery !!! (loads !!!) - so maybe in the OK it would be cheaper if she cooks more etc...
Again - the comparisons are highly variable...
Charging our EV here is cheaper as Electiricty is Cheaper here - Approx £8 (to fully charge)
Charging the same EV in the UK would be more expensive - Approx £24 (to fully charge) - 3x more expensive
Petrol in Thaland Vs Petrol in the UK £0.97 per litre vs £1.32 per litre - UK is 1.3x more expensive.
Cost to fill an Av car in Thailand vs UK: £56.20 vs £76.80
So many variables to consider.
It's not reversed, it was always supposed to be medical use only.
All use is medical use. Our bodies and minds need relaxation and recreation for optimal health. We lead stressful lives. Anything that can help us to relax and reduce stress promotes health. It activates our parasympathetic nervous system, which is when healing happens. Recreational use is medical use. To reduce health to an absence of 10-12 diseases is ridiculous, arbitrary, and out of step with modern medicine.
