Thought they just chewed on cabbage.

Idiots.

So they supplied their own material for the hookah. Just a little fuzzy on the legalities, did not think any one would notice the different smell.

Oh well paying the price now.

I feel sorry for these guys. There were naive holiday makers, clearly not understanding Thailand is a serious country with serious laws. OK, they were stupid. They see this is a big party town, so naturally, they thought it was OK to party. Is that a crime? Apparently so. How is pot smoking dealt with in Russia these days?

Thailand should decriminalize Pot.

Thailand should decriminalize Pot.

What would the DEA say about that?

Screw the DEA.

Many other regions have had largely good experiences with decriminalized (not legal) pot.

With a few more pot heads around maybe they would have less methheads.

And think of all the extra teamoney the cops could collect, it would be a goldmine!

I was joking. I would like to see pot legalized here, not because I want it myself (too paranoid making and I don't want the munchies!) but the smell is lovely and potheads are more civilized than drunks.

I don't know if legal is the way, the economics are messy. I'm happy with commercial cultivation and sale to be illegal but personal use to be the same as a parking fine.
