"However, anyone possessing more than 10 kilograms of marijuana will be treated as having the intent to sell it illegally." 

 

I know a few real pot heads, and they couldn't go thru 10Kgs of weed in a couple months.  22 lbs of Pot??  thats half a years worth.  Bring out the Bongs!!!

Bit confused now.  Is this whole product or just non THC extract?

If there's a day where it becomes an optional topping on a pizza menu, then the future suddenly looks bright.

so who or what made them make it illegal ...  USA? with DEA while it was the CIA importing most of the cocaine & heroine into the country to go make war on other countries...

CIA wasn't until after the end of WWII; the DEA started even later than that. The USA had minimal influence in Thailand in the 1930's, perhaps Japan?  But still a good attempt to besmirch America, don't ever miss a chance.

Looking forward to getting the 411 from Thai Visa experts so I can get proper treatment for my glaucoma, sciatica, arthritis with all natural herbal Thai-stick. A step by step plan please, from getting a prescription to getting that prescription filled. Thanks. :stoner:

Some people I've spoken to recently seem to think that they will be able to smoke weed 'joints' without penalty very soon, as soon as this new law comes out they think they will be buying bags of weed down at the local pharmacy.

 

This is not going to happen, the level of delusion is very 'high' when it comes to this.

 

We live in a country that made sudafed illegal OTC just a couple of years ago.

 

Sudafed is the best decogestant on the market, mainly because it's very effective and it doesn't make you fall asleep like most of the others.

 

They will do the minimum possible to secure future rights for Thailand.

Yeah well in many states in the USA you have to show your DL to get it.

Do you guys think they are mainly doing this to free the jails up, or to increase tourism?

 

A 3rd possibility may be to reduce police corruption (taking bribes) but I think that is less of a factor personally.

For those that dont know. You wont be smoking the stuff. The companies buying the Buds will be converting it down to Cannabis Oil, which in its strong form is like thick almost black treacle. Depending on what the authorities allow, its the THC content that gives you the 'High'. The CBD content is the really active ingredient that helps medical problems. On its own CBD is effective for many problems, but its efficacy is increased massively by the inclusion of THC and in many cases the THC level has to be rather high and that will also get you high. Incidentally making CBD or Cannabis oil is very simple and easy. The UK allows open sale of CBD as a 'Food Supplement but with THC levels so low as to be non effective. The UK Government has also Just legalised full Cannabis Oil for Medical purposes, but they buggered up the whole idea by making it only prescribable by Specialist consultants and not GP's so most who are in need of it (like me) would need to wait for ages to even get a basic appointment with a consultant. In the meantime I use CBD oil with no THC for pain.

 

Now My wife is Thai. Several months back her mother was diagnosed with a Brain Tumour after loosing her speech, becoming dizzy and falling over. The Hospital said she would get worse as the tumour was inoperable and she would probably die in a few months. Myself and wife researched the chappie in Bangkok who makes full spectrum Cannabis oil (he's an ex policeman too) and she went out to Bangkok in October and after several emails and phone calls was able to buy a syringe of Cannabis oil. Its pushed out of the syringe and a small piece similar size to mouse poo is put under the tongue. It dissolves into the surface very quickly. 3 days after giving the Mother in law the Cannabis oil, she began speaking walking normally and eating again!. Both the Hospital and the family are amazed at her recovery and she is nigh on back to normal (or as normal as a MIL can ever get). We left them sufficient money to buy more oil and as recent as Christmas day the wife phoned them and she is still quite normal. Now, obviously it may not even be the Oil that's done it and the Hospital says that her condition should have deteriorated and she would probably be dead sometime around the end of December. That's shes now walking and talking as normal has surprised the Hospital and they said they will take an MRI in March and see if there has been any substantial changes.

a giant step forward for Thailand providing they keep those money parasites out of it, what they suggest is true, it has to be kept with Thailand they have already proved they can make the medicines themselves. now to see what they will charge us when we need it,

I think an interesting question will be Who will be authorised to grow the product and where will they be based?

 

Will those approved "growers" be related to any government departments, and will there be any controls over these "Approved Growers"?

 

It will be interesting to see, in this "Non Corrupt" and "Pure" country

How is approving a medicine a "gift" to the people? Sounds like they don't believe it actually has medicinal value and they're just softening their war on "drugs". If that's the case, they should also legalize kratom and see the ya-ba use drop. But they never ask me...

Cannabis is biologically non toxic to humans. The only way to die from using it is choking on the stuff. 

Smoking it, or anything, is unhealthy and not without risk. Vaping, risks remain unknown, but a whole generation of guinea pigs are gonna let us know in a few years.

 

Your statement is correct only if it applies to organic chemical-free cannabis ingested orally.

 

Imo, any legal action to allow natural medicines to those in need should be applauded.

it the ideal is not to get it for free / legal to grow your own ...it will be full of nasty pesticides thai farmers love to use... but hey... if farmers could get a good price, they could stop planting rice so to stop the riceberg scam from a few years ago ... sadly... land owners <deleted> the farmer first, than it will be big pharma taking a patent (<deleted>..it's an herb) and then the government with some hefty taxes and to make the hospitals happy, you will need to see one of them jamaican experts they will have to hire ???? lol...just kidding,  they can use some nigerian prince
