Not true,

If between 57-62% it doesn't go mouldy. Had some vacuum packed in the fridge since Jan 2023, and it's still good.

 

Best not to write nonsense, in this forum, many of us have years of experience growing, drying and storing. Business insider not so much.

    How on earth did the above comment get a "thumbs down"    I seem to attract a solitary thumbs down on nearly every post I make recently,   I think I'm being stalked by a real sad case

    Many of these resent stories about ganja by the Thai media I have serious doubts about. Reminds me so much of the same garbage we heard back in the 60,s ,70,s, 80's . Remember well watching the F.B.I.

I keep it in airtight 32 oz Ball Mason jars (wide mouth type) with two Boost 8 gram sized gel packs in each jar, which regulates the humidity inside the jar to be at 62% at all times.


The 8 gram sized gel pack is supposed to be good for around 30 grams of cannabis. I keep no more than 30 grams per jar and I put two gel packs in each jar to be sure the humidity is well controlled.
 

Stays fresh in the jar for a very long time and no mold if you don't open the jar often and keep the jar well sealed.

So I ask again, can you fly internally with grass if you have a script and prescription? 


I doubt anyone really knows the answer to that question at this point. But things are definitely changing about transporting cannabis in general. 
 

Many online sellers used to deliver cannabis through the Thai Postal Service and they recently put up a sign saying (English translation): Do not send medicinal plants "Cannabis" (Marijuana) or "Hemp" (Hemp) only the "flower buds" and "Cannabis or hemp plant extracts" by mail.

Anyone notice how quiet things have been over the last week ? The anti-weed nutcase Dr. Doom has suddenly gone quiet with any new announcements. (Not legal rules or laws.)

Maybe because it's all been done already. 

The government currently seems in a state of total limbo and am starting to think something is seriously up.

that's not a bad price, if it's any good.

It's quite hard to find good charas these days, even when you're in Nepal

 I flushed about 6 ounces. Took a while. It was very depressing. 

I had to throw away 250g of good quality bud years ago.

Found some mould in the jars, read that smoking it can pass the mould into your lungs and I didn't want to do that to myself or anyone else so it had to go.

That was a very surreal moment in my life, especially considering how skint I was

I was in the post office yesterday and they were putting up a sign sayin it is now forbidden to send cannabis flower through the post,, and just received a message from fis 420 confirming they will now be using "kerry"  but how long until that gets stopped is anybodys guess,    The net is closing in by the look of things get stocked up this week

Yes, can't do post office anymore as I mentioned above. Fis 420 switched to using Kerry, correct. Some suppliers in Bangkok are using Grab bikes for delivery within the city, avoiding post office and delivery companies all together. Not sure if other sellers are still using Flash or not. This will force online sales to stop though if Kerry and Flash both pull out too.

What will likely be up next, if things stay on the same trajectory, is cannabis will be reclassified as a Class 5 narcotic. If that happens, game over.

Yes correct. The question the game is over for who. Someone is going to have to take responsibility for this mess as all the licenses are valid. (Sai Na) Saving Face is not going to save them this time. Personally I hate the term more often misused as a Get Out Of Jail Card for taking responsibility for your actions. The country as a whole the Thais are going to be the most hurt and they won,t forget it . Every time a certain somebody shows up things go to <deleted>e.

I reckon the courier firms will soon be warned  off  by the authorities, but I get the feeling the police might not be as serious about weed as they were before, who knows, we will have to wait and see    but its not looking good overall

I'm keeping my eye on the news, wondering when some poor soul will become famous for being the first to be busted.

They may come down hard on people initially, in order to send a message,  I hope not

Now that booze is more available than ever perhaps they should focus all their attention on boozers, bar fights and road deaths. But this has never had anything to do with weed itself. Its all revenge nothing more.

            its a mixture of reefer madness, mixed with greed, and  of course corruption How on earth can LaoKhao be legal and can be bought in quantities (1 bottle) which can be lethal either in the long or very short term, yet a small amount of cannabis can theoretically at least, land one in prison. 

            Absolute madness, all they needed was to restrict public smoking  it would then exist pretty much under the radar with few complaints.   I hope they don't start random pi$$ tests for it, Would be a bit grim to be prosecuted for smoking a spliff a month ago.

            As for the prescription protocol, why on earth does a "Dr" need to be present ?  in case of a user suffering a whitey? That won't happen as people can't smoke in the shops anymore, just another stupid regulation , probably rolled out to placate some anonymous official whilst giving the so called "DR"  a steady income .   I doubt many real Dr's will be up for sitting in a weed shop all day waiting for a customer,  or even enrolling for whatever training is required to do that

           What a mess

The Dr in the shop has nothing to do with them being there incase someone feels ill, they are there to evaluate the patient before issuing prescription. The bigger companies already have them in shop.

Ah yes the "Dr"s that have had 2 weeks training , and will prescribe cannabis buds for asthma sufferers to smoke,  Its all rubbish     "evaluate the patient"    :cheesy:    yet their hands are tied regarding how much they can prescribe by politicians, not that the quacks will have any idea anyway.  Total Farce

 Of course the bigger companies have them already, the system is designed to help them and destroy the smaller ones ,    a monopoly just like the one enjoyed by Mr Chang

They are Dr's who are already practicing, they aren't Dr's who have just had two weeks training about cannabis. Either way, if I need to see one to get my card and script who cares anyway. I actually have a medical condition, and took my medicine to show him, he knew pretty much straight away what my condition was, and it's pretty specific.

 

Highly doubtful anyone with Asthma would be prescribed cannabis unless in edible form.

Believe whatever you want , just remember where we are, and that things are rarely as they appear, I also have a medical  condition   doubt I will be joining their little scheme, I only smoke in the house , always have done , and will continue to do so,    I have stocked up well and when that runs out I will return to my original suppliers and maybe grow some myself again,, They can keep their GACP rubbish and shove it where the sun don't shine

wait and see lol,   as it happens I have a mate in the UK who suffers from asthma, he self medicates with smoking cannabis,  says it helps clear the airways ,  His quack doesn't approve, would rather he stuck to the steroid inhaler, but the cannabis works better  for him. No Dr required

It's not a question of believing, its what i saw and heard. I too am stocked up, and use different suppliers at great prices. For me it's just safer to get the card. I know where we are, lived here 27 years, so in situations like this i tend to be as legal as possible to avoid any potential consequences down the line.

There are already laws about smoking weed in public. Also witnessed many foreign idiots smoking right outside on Main st Hua Hin with their Thai retails by their side. This is all about Thaksin revenge nothing more. But yea agree they can shove it.

I agree. Courier companies will probably stop allowing it soon enough, though I am sure they will not be happy about losing the business. I also think law enforcement around personal use could end up being far less strict than it used to be, with the focus shifting more toward cracking down on distribution rather than consumption.

 

I would not be surprised if some of these online sellers eventually shift stock to Bangkok and start delivering through Grab or LINE bikes within the city. Even though they have buyers all over the country, I would guess at least a third or maybe even half of their business comes from Bangkok alone. It would make sense for them to set up local distribution that cuts out the couriers entirely and just runs through delivery bikes.

All these cannabis licenses you mentioned are only valid for one year. It’s quite possible they will be allowed to continue operating until their current licenses expire, after which they simply will not be able to renew. I suspect that is exactly the government’s strategy here, thus letting businesses run out their existing term while avoiding outright closures to prevent strong backlash, but then quietly phasing them out by refusing renewals.

Many doctors issuing medical cannabis cards and prescriptions have been operating cannabis clinics already for at least a few years, primarily profiting from selling expensive small-batch CBD and THC oils, as well as “medical-grade” cannabis flower. This is likely their main revenue source. Issuing cards and prescriptions represents a smaller, supplementary income stream.
 

In the long term, the businesses of these clinics could expand as local dispensaries close and patients turn to these clinics for legal cannabis, especially as accessing legal sources becomes harder, discouraging reliance on the black market.

The current Thai government with its latest TEMPORARY PM seems to have totally lost its rudder. Another clown with Thaksin connections just making up vague rules and its seems has decided to add ganja to his hard drug list. Nothing more than a gang of clowns all fighting for control before everything goes down the toilet and you know who likely returns once again. So the last worry on my mind right now is Clown & Company .
