The key words in the quote from the story "all Thais".If all Thais are allowed to grow the stuff I can guarantee it will be legalised for "medicinal" use so if one was desirous of altering ones state of mind well that would require the medicinal use of cannabis regardless of the recreational intention to alter ones state of mind.So the broad interpretation of medicinal use would therefor include recreational purpose.It will be classed as a medicine and if one uses a medicine it is medicine use hence medicinal use. If the cops pull me over puffing on a spliff I'm probably going to say medicinal use and he will say that's OK just don'y let me catch you using it recreationally OK? So to answer your question is within 12 months,but that of course depends on the laws they write and the interpretations of the laws they write and how the courts rule on the laws they write and how the laws affect foreigners and that is just an absurd attempt at guessing the time frame,it could be as soon as six months if it is such a priority and it sees full support from the "parliament.

God help Thailand. Where does it say it is their main focus?I looked but couldn't find it anywhere.Looks to me like you're putting words in their mouths so you can what?Feel superior,engage in a bit of Thai bashing,imply that they don't know what they are doing,that they can't possibly be doing what the western countries have already done without appearing to be completely unintelligent.Please elucidate for me if you will.

justin case Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 everybody should be able to grow a few plants, not for resale but for personal use... government should never be the boss what you can put into your body... alcohol and nicotine are legal, addictive and deadly but no problem there... there are more legal narcotic addicts (from your MD) than illegal one's ...

MartiniMan Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I have never understood what is still to research in something that is proven and listed on the stock exchange now being publicaly traded The largest greenhouse in europe produces massive returns for investors and helps millions in providing no side effect pain relief There are countless papers published and it is well established but maybe because they dont go abroad to check out other countries for ideas it is still a mystery - not sure how that can be in modern day but I hear that they cannot talk english so does explain a lot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a huge global market for products made from industrial hemp which would appeal to anybody with an interest in making money and saving the world from petrochemical based plastics that can be replaced with bio-plastics made with hemp and corn which are biodegradable,hemp based building materials and so on,they can even make car bodies that are more dent resistant and lighter than steel.So I think recreational uses of the plant are an insignificant factor in the importance of legalising hemp.

connda Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 If they fast track marijuana crops they may save Thai farming which is facing a drought induced disaster as water intensive rice crops simply aren't going to happen this year, and if the drought continues it will wipe out family farming in the next two years. Switching over to hemp and marijuana cultivation just may be the answer to make Thai agriculture a lucrative business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does growing weed really use less water per hectare? Somehow I find that strange as it's a fast growing .. well weed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
