Just a simple poll about the majority of the members here and their relationship with weed. 

 

Does it bother you or not? Should it be legalized or not, and what about smoking in public?

What is your personal story with weed, Hummin?

 

Are you an ex-smoker? Why did you stop?

 

Do you smoke every day but insist you're not an addict? 

 

Never touch the stuff, having a clear mind is the best high there is.

I have been in extreme sport environment for decades  where weed and drugs was not unusual, and have seen many tragic incidents and violent deaths not only because of drugs, but the mentality that comes with heavily abuse and use. Also see the longterm affect of it now I have passed 50 among my previous friends, who still think weed is healthy, but their illusion is not mine, and I do not share that ideology where weed or drugs should be decriminalized because it suits some very few percent of us. 

 

I smoked a bit while I was 19, but not much after that, still I had a few hit last year, but still doesnt do me any good, or make my sleep better, it actually makes my sleep worse, since I already sleep good enough. Also did some party drugs a few times a year, but it gets rarely offered since Im not among those kind of people anymore, and my view on drugs and the business is the same, and it is dirty and horrible where a lot of the money goes to terrorists and heavy criminals and organizations. No difference in Thailand, it is the same criminals who makes the big bucks. 

 

Im most offended by those ignorants who think it is okay to lit up a joint next to me and the families in a restaurant, while some would say, it doesnt happen often, but it does on places where the owners are afraid of loosing their customers who are primarily younger tourists who come to Thailand for party and fun, who think they can do whatever they want. 

I don't need it or want it, not a fan of smelling it while walking about, but has little impact on me.

 

I suspect it has more negatives than the users admit to

Alchohol is natural and even animals enjoys fruits on the ground with alchohol, while weed is limited to where they grew naturally until the drug epidemic started in the 60ies 

 

 

I do an edible on Friday afternoons. It allows me to slow down enough to actually watch the videos I have rather than run them in the background while I argue with strangers on AN.

 

BTW, are there still shops in Pattaya that sell edibles or have they gone by the wayside?

I've been disappointed in the quality. It all kind of seems the same to me, compared to the variety of experiences from the California weed I used to get.

I never really smoked the stuff,tried it a few times but no thanks.

Apparently while i was in high school half of the class was permanently stoned, i never noticed.

I was into sports and smoking was not on my list but i did drink a few beers in the weekends.

Fast forward to 2018 when i was given THC oil by a government worker,it changed my life for the better.

Many years of not being able to sleep enough is rough on a person.

Now i take edibles pretty much every day and swear by it,i don't really think it slows me down during the day 

and my mind is still pretty sharp.( Incoming!!!!)

No, never had that problem. Every new batch we make is a little bit different but i always start of with a test piece.

Alcohol by natural fermentation is natural and animals do eat fermented fruit and get high. People rely on things that are fermented by other people, and that alcohol can be very high and eventually is dangerous in many ways. Kept in check, weed, alcohol, mushrooms, peyote and others aren't bad. Too much of anything isn't good, as we can see with food. Tobacco grows naturally, and eating it isn't healthy, and when you smoke it, it causes more damage. Marijuana plants are used for Hemp, which has uses. Weed when smoked, or eaten,  can help sufferers of pain, and make the user calm and relaxed. The same with alcohol, but when some drink, they get rowdy and dangerous if they drive. All about the quantity and if the person themselves can or shouldn't use it. 

1 - Cannabis: Prescribed for medical use for health conditions such as chronic pain, muscle spasms, multiple sclerosis related symptoms, nausea and vomiting from chemotherapy, poor appetite and weight loss from hiv or cancer, epilepsy and seizure disorders, anxiety, post traumatic stress disorder, insomnia, glaucoma, crohn’s disease, irritable bowel syndrome, parkinson’s disease symptoms, tourette syndrome, and autism spectrum disorder related symptoms.

 

2 - Alcohol: No known medical uses and never medically prescribed for any reason. Long term use is known to cause liver cirrhosis, alcoholic hepatitis, fatty liver disease, liver cancer, pancreatitis, stomach ulcers, esophageal cancer, mouth cancer, throat cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, cardiomyopathy, high blood pressure, stroke, alcohol use disorder, and brain damage including wernicke korsakoff syndrome, cognitive decline and dementia.

I dont know anyone who has ever got drunk that natural way.

 

Do you ?

 

However every drunk person I have ever seen has become intoxicated by alcohol that had been processed.

 

Whereas weed grown naturally can be brought anywhere and is still natural. Weed has been around for thousands of years. Long before the 60s. I think you're talking about other drugs causing an epidemic.

 

What a silly comparison.

Yet another gem of anti-weed nonsense. I wonder how many more idiotic posts like this we’re going to have to suffer through? Prolly endless. Funny how weed smokers are usually chill and mind their own business, but being around a drunk is one of the worst experiences imaginable. Unless of course she’s only had a couple and she’s riding reverse cowgirl, in which case, carry on.

The damage alcohol has done vs weed isn't even a debate.

Again you guys still to stupid to understand your freedom to smoke is in your hands, not mine. 

 

How you guys behave in public, that's what this is about, nothing else

I agree, yet there is an unlimited supply of anti-weed numpties wanting to debate it 24/7. Take the OP for example, now that's a crusader!

I behave normal, never bother anyone, unlike the drunks.

Responsibility for what? Meanwhile, have a look at your silly poll results, your anti-weed crusade isn't going so well.

Again not even a debate. How smokers behave in public vs drunks is laughable. Its common on AN to read about drunken brawl. Pretty much every week. Compare that to weed brawls. Ya.

I wonder how many drunken brawls the Pattaya police have to deal with on a daily basis? The catastrophic number would probably shock everyone. Meanwhile, Bangkok, Phuket, Samui, and a few other places in TH are probably no different.

No weed brawls, that's true.

But is there a connection between weed smoking and suicidal tendencies?

Not saying there is. I'm asking. 

 

Cannabis use may be associated with suicidality in young adults

Most likely the tendencies already exist in those individuals. Then weed is used as the scapegoat to point blame.

Same could be said about any number of intoxicating substances.

Well, the same goes for drinking alcohol in d desinated areas where it is legal. 

 

To many tokers smokes ganja in public, and that's the problem you guys face in Thailand if you missed the point! 

 

I see lack of responsibility and admitting it is a problem in Thailand! 

 

Is there a problem when smokers lit a joint in public? Yes or no?
