To be fair, BJT (Proud to be High, Thai) ran hard on this pro-cannabis platform. Joined the majority coalition and garnered the DoH ministry. BJT leader Anutin Charnvirakul is the Health Minister. Think they also have the Digital Economy & Society post, and several deputy minisrty seats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried smocking a couple of years ago and did not like it, It F me up, for me it was not fun. I respect you decision as an adult to smoke weed, and I think it should be legalized under controlled conditions. Allowing it's growth at home would IMO thrown any such control out the window. Let;s put all value judgments on the side, please tel me how, if weed was allowed to be grown at home for medical purposes, how they will prevent people from smoking it for recreational purposes.? IMO the medical use growth at home proposal is half baked.and a stunt. As you, I smoked many decades ago but haven't for a very long time and don't care to now. This is irrelevant. I believe that as an adult, my right to put whatever I want into my body is my choice and my choice alone, provided it doesn't infringe on someone else's rights. I have a child and I will decide if he can smoke weed just as I decide if he can consume sugar, that is one of the fundamental responsibilities of a parent. You ask me how to prevent people from consuming marijuana for recreational purposes. My answer is you can't, you never will, and you have no right to. I would ask, why are you so concerned with people recreating, particularly when it has no bearing on your rights? I am a little tired of regulatory bodies trying to "protect" me under false pretenses, to say the least. I am a responsible adult and I will take care of myself thank you very much. I will also recreate as I choose and I believe everyone else should be entitled to recreate regardless of others opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

55Jay Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I had to laugh at a memory re: wet buds.^ When I was around 13, home alone for 2 days on my own, first time ever, the adult, long-hair scary guy on my street didn't have any for sale - only a few plants - so he laughed and sold me a couple live buds right off the branch. I didn't have a lot of time, money, another source, or any idea what I was doing, and damn sure wasn't about to go back to scary long-hair to ask. So I put them in the toaster oven on the lowest setting to, ya' know, expedite the drying process. When I went to remove them a minute or so later, they looked normal, but disintegrated in my fingers on contact. NOOOOOOOOOO! So much for that genius plan. ????

friend of siam Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 my thoughts : ok ..to allow a plant that basically make people high and can be used for health ( many experts question this..it is only agreed it can smoothen the side effects of chemotherapie...can but not must...for people with chronic pains it can be a help ..but its need to be applied in a very specific dosage to be effective.. modern canabis variations are extremly potent hundret times higher than the hippie canabis of the sixtys..that time it was a identy drug....today if somebody smoke it in overdose it leads to depressions and mental disorder.... every plant has different dosage for a private person its not possible to be sure...its like with sleeping pills one pill help you a whole packet and u sleep forever or receive a serious poissoning ...many expert say if u smoke the drug for your lungs its much bader than to smoke tabaco / i respect my health and wellbeing )...i like the idea of growing canabis at home but i dont use drugs have no intention to get more high that i am already because of the absolut marvioulus life i lead....for me its a really cool thought but what will happen if animals eat it..like my neighbours cat that use our garden at her disposal...???? and what other use it can have...???? for sure i will try to grow it just to see how it developes even my wife will run havoc ( maybe i tell her wait till the plant is grown it will help ur anger management - spicy times to come hahahaha ) ....

JetSetFvr Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I grow professionally in Oregon. All I can is one thing. If people know how to grow outdoors and how to feed, 6 trees will produce over 12 lbs of weed! DAAAAUM It's the most awesome country to grow in as the temps are PERFECT with the right amount of humidity with long days, warm nights and rain. Bring on the Thai Sticks!!

I don't buy it, not for a minute. Clearly you have an issue with others enjoying themselves at their own expense. You apparently believe more control is appropriate to discourage others from enjoying themselves. To say that you are effected because we share some space is hogwash. You can keep your nanny state. If anyone needs to get high for a different perspective, it might be you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recreational smokers on holiday have discretionary cash to spend, and don't cause problems like drunken idiots. If they are dumb enough to drive, they're easy to spot, and catch. In the unlikely event our highly trained Thai cops on Hello Kitty Scoopy motorbikes DO manage to lose them in a slow-speed chase, they can park outside the nearest Burger King or Mister Donut, and the offenders will be along shortly. ????
