September 11, 2025Sep 11 As I said from day one. The former FAKE Health Minister was a total fraud with zero powers to do ANYTHING ! Hopefully those stores closed will file a lawsuit and his name Dr. Fake Health Minister will be dealt with. This was all caused by Thailand's #1 criminal who is finally serving some time in a cell in Bangkok. The war with Cambodia and all your issues with banks and visas. Guess who? Every time big flat face shows up foreigners have problems along with the Thais dumb enough who voted for that family over and over again.

September 17, 2025Sep 17 There was never any law passed making pot illegal therefore ignore anything you see posted from that clown who has ZERO power to change anything and never did. All those shops closed down and harassed need to join together and file lawsuits.

You just pulled that up because it sounds good. Thai's have used weed for years. When first coming here in 1978 I was offered it in BKK, Hadyai, Chaing Mai, Isaan, Phuket and Samui.

Same for Thais who finds us as much annoying as we do of the groups above.

Again ignorance at its best, Most Thais support the plans to relist marijuana as an illegal drug but have mixed opinions over its benefits, according to an opinion survey by Nida Poll. The poll was conducted by the National Institute of Development Administration on May 14-15 on 1,310 people aged 15 and over of various levels of education and occupations throughout the country to gauge their opinions on whether they view cannabis as a narcotic. The answers varied as follows: 53.74% said cannabis is an illicit narcotic but admitted it has medical benefits 33.59% a narcotic and has no benefits at all 11.60% not an illegal drug 1.07% not sure Asked what they think about the government's plans to relist marijuana as an illegal narcotic, the answers were as follows: 60.38% absolutely agreed 15.27% moderately agreed 14.50% absolutely disagreed 8.93% moderately disagreed 0.92% did not know or were not interested Please credit and share this article with others using this link: https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/2795595/poll-most-support-relisting-cannabis-as-narcotic.

There is reasons why Thais do not want it, and I give you some. I couldn’t care less about you and yours, and if I want to smoke, there is no difference for me if its legal or not, it have always been available, and no change in that matter if that is so important to you and also very little risk as well before and now. The only difference now you see and smell it places it never was visually seen before because of ignorant pot tourists who suddenly thinks it is legal in public. Is it so hard to understand 😄 You guys think Im angry, but Im not, just telling you there is consequences for being stupid. Just grow up

You guys trying to silence my opinion, and seriously who is keeping this tread alive attacking my option, my experiences and also what have been discussed in thai media since before they released the idea of legalizing weed for medical use in a chaotic way leading up to what we have experienced until today. I said it from beginning this will not last, but nobody took it seriously, not the users, not the ones in the business. Everybody wanted a piece of the cake, and now everyone complaining they loosing their investment. Want to say told you so, but it is like talking to a wall. Again there is no logic to find anywhere. Not among the politicians, not by those who tried to make a living, and not by the users. You can blaim me for my opinions or put the blaim where it belongs
