Top Medical Cannabis Clinics in Khaosan, Bangkok (2025)
What new cannabis laws ? Nothing has been voted on ? Thaksin currently running the government in the shadows will be gone hopefully with daughter , other family members , and pets within a few weeks and the self created Health Minister will be out of a job and hopefully all the lies and Reefer Madness stories will end. Until then I advise others follow the current laws support your favorite stores light up and ignore them. -

Take back the Sanctuary DC and return it to the Feds...
The appeals are ongoing. So do you think the files should remain sealed until the appeal process is complete? Of course you don’t. All you care about is hurting Trump. Do you really believe that if there was evidence against Trump in the files, that the Biden DOJ would not have charged him? Do you not think that the Biden DOJ would have given Maxwell immunity to get Trump? Do you not think any dirt on Trump in the files would have been leaked long ago? -

Why manufacturing won't return to the U.S. - former CEO Motorola
Likely in areas that dominate the US economy; the service industries. No point training for an area with no jobs. That doesn't mean reshoring can't happen, but it's a longer process that takes 5-10 years to build the work force needed. You can shortcut the process through immigration, an area that the US, a nation of immigrants, enjoyed an advantage over Europe. Not only a steady pipeline, but also a workforce that is much more mobile than in the EU. The single market ought to mean a mobile workforce, but the opportunities open to a Portugeuse national in Helsinki are a lot different to a New Yorker scouting San Diego. And immigrants by definition are highly mobile; they will go where the work is. -

Why manufacturing won't return to the U.S. - former CEO Motorola
Its was back in the 1970s-80s. It was even worse than convicts and the homeless. Cryosan Inc used to harvest blood from dead Russians, relabel it as from Swedish donors, and flogged it to unsuspecting Canadians. A number of companies have been implicated in the contaminated blood products scandal; Abbott Labs, Armour (Revlon), Koate (Bayer), Hyland (Baxter) and others. In the mid 70s, there were warnings that the crap coming from the US was laden with Hepatitis, but these were ignored. On a personal note, my father, on loan from the British Army, was setting up the Bahraini Defence Forces blood service in the early 80s. The Bahrainis had been persuaded to buy American, rather than setting up a blood donation service; in the Gulf Arab culture, people were reluctant to donate blood. My dad, who was seeing what was happening in the UK NHS, and was getting wind of a new virus, was vociferous in his opposition. His solution was simple; fit, healthy squaddies were to be offered days off for donating blood. Plenty of support for that. So Bahrain escaped that. Many years later, I was researching HIV testing in Saudi Arabia, and discovered quite a significant rate, which was surprising, and a bit of a state secret there. it seems contaminated imported blood products were partially to blame. The US, Czechia, Germany, Austria and Hungary are now the only countries that allow people to sell their blood plasma. https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/louisiana-teacher-seeks-survive-inflation-141633014.html https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Blood-Money/Kathleen-McLaughlin/9781797155395
