But it's not too early to tell from other countries where it's been legal for years. Has there been a significant increase in road accidents? Any increase at at all?
You feel sooner or later there will be terrible accidents involving trucks. Any evidence for this feeling? Cannabis makes you sleepy, truck drivers prefer to stay away. Amphetamines have been the driver's drug of choice for decades.
I think the truth is there are very limited negative impacts. People will point to young ones smoking, but if they are choosing it over meth or even alcohol, it's an improvement.

Wouldn't it be better just to go get a new pair of running shoes?
**or new Knock Off's at Mikes Mall for 300 baht?
I understand repairs for dress shoes and boots.
**Sadly...You cannot do this if you wear a size 11 US or bigger.If he wants NB repaired it's probably for the same reason I do. For avid runners NB is about the only running shoe maker that makes widths from AA to 5W for men and narrow to wide widths for women. I usually order from the US or have friends who are coming over bring me a few pairs. Knock offs may look the same but do not give the support/fit , comfort , performance nesessary for runners. If you do a lot of running you can really mess up your feet,ankles, legs and body with a bad pair of running shoes especially knock offs.

Link to your cousins please. 555
When I wrote I never did or took those things you posted a sad emoji, why? They say you never miss what you never had. I am naturaly gregariuos and don't need artificial stimulants/chemicals to make me feel good. Cousins some of who were older cuter asked how come you get all the girls. I said you know I don't drink and by the time you guys have had 2--3 shots to get up the curage to ask them to dance I already have and you guys are sluring your speach and smell of alcohol so they say Pass. I have gone to parties, dances, concerts and have a great time but I don't need drugs to feel that way.
Ever hear of Runner's High?
"A runner's high is a brief, deeply relaxing state of euphoria. Euphoria is a sense of extreme joy or delight. In this case, it occurs after intense or lengthy exercise. Often, people who experience a runner's high also report feeling less anxiety and pain immediately after their run."
I started running in Jr High an also trained in Martial arts so didn;t need chemicals or MJ to make me feel good or relax me.
I don't look down on those that need help to relax ,reduce anxiatey or boost their spirits and I will sit in a bar with friends to socialise but I'm only drinking Coke or 7-Up.

Enjoy your Chang.
Never drank alcohol, smoked cigarettes/weed or taken any drugs like cocaine/crack. As my cousins used to say "he's just high on life" .Always was an athlete and didn't want to take anything to affect my performance or mess up my body. I don't care what others do just posting the article showing data on adverse effects on growing brains/children. Adults not affected as much.

A lot of countries went own this path of decriminalization of Cannabis already and have no problems at all ...
In Thailand the problem is more the use of Yaba , Ice , Methamphetamines than Cannabis . By legalizing Cannabis , the ' authorities ' did a little step to reduce the amount of illegal chemical drugs taken . A good thing .
The medical benefits of Marihuana , ( prevention of cancer and reduction of stress levels that can lead to psychological disorder etc ) , especially when used in tea , food etc , far outweigh the dangers .
Anyway , who wants it , gets it , illegal or not .
The government got it right , It creates an aditional source of income for the people of Thailand . And for the country as well .

It is unfortunate that scientists release data before it is ready for human use. The Israelis regularly announce they have the cure for cancer but then go quiet. A lot of comments here seem to imply that scientists who study DNA are also trying to find the cure for Covid. A different field.
While I eagerly wait for Thai scientists to discover or develop something of value to mankind, the "fountain of youth" sounds too much like a non-essential and superficial discovery. I was hoping to see a cure for Alzheimer's, diabetes or even HIV, rather than increase the global population with more smug faces.
Not a superficial discovery as Alzheimers, Diabetes and many other diseases are age related so if you could stop/reverse aging these diseases would not occur.

People forget that we are still in a pandemic and that the kids have become lethargic mostly due to online non-learning and that it will take years to repair the damage that not attending schools has caused. There are and always will be some sort of pusher around and I worry that we have taken one step forward only to take 4 steps back. By then, it will become difficult to eradicate the growing consumption of pot.

The true revelation is how many of them (on motorcycles) were wearing helmets…
I think many of motocy riders are protecting themselves from dust, bugs , polution and small particles kicked up from the road. That's main reason they wear the masks.

They don't even know their own history where women did not even have to wear tops until 1941 when Thai Gov was overthrown by a Thai General who alighned with the Japanese and did,'t want thailand to come off as uncivilized. Look at old temples that even depict women topless or naked.

I'm only 57. Occasionally I visit my mother's grave. Not too far away are the plots where children, many of them very young are buried. I think to myself how increbibly lucky we have been to reach the age that we have.
I've exercised all my life except for a short period when I first came here, got fat/out of shape and suffered a heart attack. After recovering got back to working out , eating better and feel great but still have a long way to go to make it to mom and dad's age. Mom 92, dad 95, gran -ma (Dad's side ) 102.

Because it's corruption. The bank doesn't want to lose a customer because of a corrupt employee.
In the bank case it's not coruption per se. The bank has told the clerks to promote the insurance by offering it to any customers opening an account. In many cases expats will do it as it is easier than getting a Thai person to recommend you or running down to get a letter from your embassy to verify your passport or address and in case for USA citizen paying $50 to do that. I have had clerks offer me the insurance or extra services when renewing a debit card.

“Evidence from 14 randomized controlled trials of these measures did not support a substantial effect on transmission of laboratory-confirmed influenza…none of the household studies reported a significant reduction in secondary laboratory-confirmed influenza virus infections in the face mask group…the overall reduction in ILI or laboratory-confirmed influenza cases in the face mask group was not significant in either studies.”
https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD006207.pub5/full
“There is low certainty evidence from nine trials (3507 participants) that wearing a mask may make little or no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness (ILI) compared to not wearing a mask (risk ratio (RR) 0.99, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.82 to 1.18. There is moderate certainty evidence that wearing a mask probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of laboratory‐confirmed influenza compared to not wearing a mask (RR 0.91, 95% CI 0.66 to 1.26; 6 trials; 3005 participants)…the pooled results of randomised trials did not show a clear reduction in respiratory viral infection with the use of medical/surgical masks during seasonal influenza.”
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32675098/#affiliation-1
“This systematic review found limited evidence that the use of masks might reduce the risk of viral respiratory infections.”
https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1755436516300858?via=ihub
“Facemask use provided a non-significant protective effect (OR = 0.53; 95% CI 0.16–1.71; I2 = 48%) against 2009 pandemic influenza infection.”
https://pdmj.org/papers/masks_false_safety_and_real_dangers_part1
“Surgical personnel are trained to never touch any part of a mask, except the loops and the nose bridge. Otherwise, the mask is considered useless and is to be replaced. Surgical personnel are strictly trained not to touch their masks otherwise. However, the general public may be seen touching various parts of their masks. Even the masks just removed from manufacturer packaging have been shown in the above photos to contain particulate and fiber that would not be optimal to inhale… Further concerns of macrophage response and other immune and inflammatory and fibroblast response to such inhaled particles specifically from facemasks should be the subject of more research. If widespread masking continues, then the potential for inhaling mask fibers and environmental and biological debris continues on a daily basis for hundreds of millions of people. This should be alarming for physicians and epidemiologists knowledgeable in occupational hazards.”
Your links are from tests done between 2017----2020 Tests after Covid came out in 2020 may have had different results. For one we know that picking up infection from surfaces is slight. Infection thru the eyes althought theoretically possible has not been proven as the infection is basically respiratory in nature. Sitting in a restaurant for limited time without a mask may be slight risk depending how much virus (viral load ) you inhale. Sitting in a bar with out a mask talking, shouting ,laughing and spreading'inhaling virus for a longer time causes more viral load inhaled and more danger to infection.

Some folk, however, travel by non-aircon bus, visit outdoor markets and have shopping malls that are more stifling than freezing.
Then I guess they would have to take their chances with regular surgical masks if they find the N95's too uncomfortable. Have seen those on trains and other places doubling them up as well or taping the sides so they fit better.

I didn't mistype, I quoted. The quote isn't suggesting that surgical masks are the best, rather that they are the most practical way to wear a mask and still achieve a respectable reduction in risk, both from infection and transmission.
I wear surgical masks because K95's are too hot in the tropics and much more expensive.
K95's are too hot to wear? You would only be wearing them on Air conditioned train, 7--11, Freezing cold Mall ,or air con taxi. And too expensive, really? 3 M the best brand are 5 for 100 baht and other no name brands are even cheaper. Below photo 20 for 79 baht.

Evidence shows that, yes, masks prevent COVID-19 – and surgical masks are the way to go
Do you read your own articles? It states that surgical masks (you called blue mask) are helpful "but" N95's are the best.
"high-quality surgical masks or masks with even higher filtration efficiency and better fit – such as KF94s, KN95s and N95s – are the most effective at preventing COVID-19."

I did read your link in it's entirety. My point that what Fauci said about masks remains true and had nothing to do with other circumstances existing at the time.
Even the standard blue clinical masks work well in preventing others from getting infected.
The standard blue surgical masks are no where near as protective as N95-Kn95 respirators
Surgical masks approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are intended for use in hazardous environments created by dangerous fluids, droplets, splashes, and sprays, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). However, respiratory protection by surgical masks against small airborne particles is very low.
On the contrary, N95 masks are described by the NIOSH as a filtration system that retains at least 95% of various sized airborne particles ranging from aerosols to large droplets and reduces the vulnerability of the user. Additionally, N95 masks have extra layers of protection compared to surgical masks.

What he wrote was true then and remains true today. It's also true that Fauci did want people to reserve masks for those who needed them the most when there was a severe shortage but that has nothing to do with the efficacy of masks.
Yes it does. Guess you were too lazy to read my link;
Anthony Fauci said the public was initially told not to wear masks to stop COVID-19 because of shortages of PPE for doctors.
He said the government's shift in advice was because of "changing circumstances" and new research.
They did studies later from 2020 about the efficacy of different type masks

Let's take the advice of the official US expert ... oh wait, he can't seem to make up his mind.
experts say wear & expects say, don't bother. I think I'll just do what I want.
That link you posted from Newsweek is a reprint from what the Dr said in Feb of 2020.
"Dr. Anthony Fauci wrote in February 2020 that store-bought face masks would not be very effective at protecting against the COVID-19 pandemic"
That was before anyone knew a lot about Covid. Also was at a time that Fauci said that he and CDC did not recomend masks as they knew that there would be a run on buying masks and they didn't have enough for medical personal. The article link below
