I think it’s better that doctors take car of sick patients than sell cannabis to drugusers. Forbid the <deleted> ,that’s the very best.

That is such an old-fashioned response, and could only come from a fossilized individual over the age of 70, who has not spent more than 5 minutes considering this issue on a deeper level.

even if they do it in public 100km away from you? 

If you bothered to ask you would find out that 99.9% of members here who indulge, do so responsibly and discreetly 

I personally do not like the smell of alcohol or the way it affects people but I don't waste my time on here whingeing about it.  

However in the interests of fairness and the common good , should licensed premises selling alcohol not have a team of medical professionals on standby  I heard it was not a very healthy habit and quite addictive too

If you don't like the smell of alcohol, don't attend bars or licenced premises, I don't drink alcohol, but attend bars and restaurants, I can't smell alcohol...but do smell cannabis.

I am not talking about certain groups, but you do not know everyone on this forum, so your 99.9% figure is bull<deleted>.

As for 100km away  mate, now your being an idiot.

The Thai public health care system is already under severe stress - serious professional staff shortages and grave financial stress - where are the "certified medical professionals" going to come from?

Virtually 90% of pharmacies does not even have the professional inside the shop at all times, most times. It's always just some random goon who works there, hence you often get entirely wrong medication too. The last time I went there for my son to get medicine they gave me something for 50+ people with heart issues, imagine I would just have given that to him based on trusting the pharmacy.

 

Let alone to then have actual 'professionals' in weed shops at all times, no way. It will either be a failure or it will be a money exploit for those who are 'professional' while they will never be there. Basically adding corruption, bureaucracy and making it harder for small business owners.

I gave you the quote. Thats your answer. If I was a spy for the Thai government here thats the way I would read it.

I didn't see you post a "quote," please post again, so I know what you're talking about.

This I assume will require personal details rather than just walking into a shop and buying some weed.

I think that is quite a big assumption. Near me nothing has changed since the initial deregulation, despite some subsequent supposed effort at  partial regulation.

 

I mean, shops near me act like 7-11 selling on demand. Certainly no medical professionals inside, certified or non certified.
 

Unless and until they get a visit from plod officially closing them down, nothing will change.

Perhaps you should take time out to deal with your anger issue. Doesn't seem quite normal. Getting yourself so het up over an occasional waft. Are you okay?

It's going to turn into weed and hand jobs in little dope booths.  Some chick with sticky/stinky fingers will be rolling your meat refer to keep your custom.

Anger, really...555....I should ask...are you OK..

Politics didn't come into it, you accused a poster of advocating violence, I just want to know what this "violence" was.

Yes, I'm okay thank you. Your use of expletives denotes a tendency to lose control of yourself. Perhaps normal to you, but not acceptable in Thai/civilised society. Another one who thinks money trumps decorum and headed to Thailand to buy himself company?

Sorry, but now your comments are more like the ramblings of someone needing serious help.....

I doubt they will be properly medically certified. Some shops won’t bother at all, some will pretend they have certified people but most likely a very basic certification will be required. Maybe a one hour online course or some such work around. Given the number of retail outlets near me, I don’t see that the government is very serious about this.

I take it that's a yes then. If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck... Bogan.

I know. The point I am making is that it is likely to be 100% ignored, just like previous partial regulation attempts.

 

Thai laws are ignored all the time (and this is not law yet) and this will be just another one imho

I snell a rat , or is it a persistent troll ( with a speech impediment )

smoking anything in restaurants is actually illegal and has been for some time 

Why not post an open question asking members if they smoke responsibly or not go on prove me wrong

 I know every single member who uses cannabis   prove me wrong 

Now run along and fix you spell checker before you look even more retarded

if it is a crippling speech impediment i apologise ,,,,,not

Possibly but bear in mind that vape shops closed down when the equally ridiculous laws and fines/jail time for vaping and selling vapes came in.

For which I, for one, am thankful, can go out for a pint without those clouds of stink annoying me and others....😬

There is absolutely no chance of some one giving you the wrong weed!

It is just not possible,the "clinic" thing is just another charade to make things look good.

Let people smoke and drink what ever and how much they want,as long as they do not harm others.

What seems to be the problem?

All the people i see on here getting upset,even cambodians,they need to chill and smoke a joint or eat some of gods lettuce.

Alchohol is not classified as medicine used for medical purposes like cannabinoids are, and whitin there you find the difference. Still you need a permit to serve and sell alcohol, and most educated countries you need a certification to serve alchohol, and also be over a certain age.

Shop needs a license 

Servers need to be of age

 

Same with cannabis.

There is no specific proven strains that work for every person or for every medical usage item to begin with. So again complete nonsense, in that case it should have been for sale as extracts or oils etc and sold at pharmacy's to begin with while such oils are actually the most illegal now on top of that. 

 

I guess we should not sell aspirines etc without prescriptions anymore then too. Meanwhile you can get the most dodgy things from any pharmacy in Thailand.

Cannabinoids was decriminalized and they opened for medical use, not recreational use as many still claims.
