I am sure that you will simply be fined for such a tiny amount. If they deport you (and I doubt that they will), just go with the flow and chill out on Tinos ,or any other cheap island back home for a while. I speak Greek (and Thai) very well and lived in Athens over thirty years ago, when finishing my law-major degree at the Deree College. I know why you are stressing - the penalties in Greece for possession of even a bit of weed are huge. It is nothing like that in statute law here. Stop stressing and let your lawyer do their job. As others have said, dress neatly, no long hair, be polite and all will end well - "ohi problemo" (no problem). You can also have a laugh, on me. On his last day in Greece in 1988, my then 13 y.o. son got a bag of "canabouri" (cannabis seeds) from the supermarket (they are sold as parrot food in Greece and are legal) and he scattered them all through the gardens in our wealthy Greek suburb. He only told me at the airport - in the following spring it sprouted all over the place. Kept the gardeners busy, pulling it all out to avoid the "Astynomia" (police). "Stini Yassas" (Cheers mate) ! The bird seeds that they are selling are not cannabis sativa rather the cannabis used for making ropes, clothes etc. It's nothing to smoke, just leave it for the birds. Katalavennis ?

Hiambruno Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 I have some news My lawyer called me and said that tommorow will be at court and the day after police will drop me at immigration ..I know nothing more though but I guess it’s good? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ventenio Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 You are probably OK. I'm sure we have all had our scares in life, 99% in our home country. Don't worry, we all play games thinking we will never get caught. Yea, you had some bad luck but I think it's just a wake-up call to make better decisions when traveling. I think you will be fine, so I wish you luck in the future. I've heard a million stories of farangs doing worse things in Thailand, but you got caught. really, this might be a good thing since you will learn. they didn't learn. even if it's a dumb law or whatever, anyhow... late 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKJASE Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 i went thro similar in '97 for possession. the lawyer turned up on the day of court date and offered to take me thro it all for half my bail money. i agreed. you need to avoid being deported. being deported means being held in captivity, shipped up to IDC in BKK for putting on to a flight. could take 7 days or so for all paperwork etc, and IDC aint nice!! do you best to get your lawyer to ensure you arent deported - and everything is concluded 2mo good luck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That clinic has a doctor that issues prescriptions,Not sure about the legalities of the clinic but it's not hard to find and would not be difficult for the authorities to shut it down if it was illegalI also put the oil in the pot category as euphoric effects can be achieved by smoking it through a bong and I'm also not sure about the legalities of my bong either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you talking about the GPO THC Cannabis Oil (5 ml)? It's 1.7% THC, and requires sublingual application (olive or vegetable oil base).

Glad to hear the sentence was lenient. It's quite true that you do not want to spend even an hour in IDC. Not speaking from personal experience, but I have read about some seriously rough stuff in there. You are not quite out of the woods yet. Best of luck!

Bedfont Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 The Thai authorities now recognize and allow marijuana use for medical reasons. Maybe a letter from a doctor would get you off the hook.

As the original bust was the result of a Thai police/drug dealer shakedown conspiracy, I can't see anything the OP does to avoid further problems can be considered in any way, morally wrong. Almost every Thai I know is growing their own in their backyards, some people I know are quite wealthy and their gardeners grow it for them. I don't know any of them that have ever encountered any legal problems. Edited January 28, 2020 by BritManToo 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No this is not the GPO THC cannabis oil though they are 5ml bottles and I would put the THC oil from the shop with the Thai sticks of old in regards to THC strength and with my reduced tolerances it's good enough for now until the new laws about cultivating come out in March and yes I am smoking it through a bong mixed with tobacco but I much prefer to smoke it in weed form. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I tried something similar I mixed the oil with tobacco and stuffed it back into the cigarette but I find the bong way more efficient and effective.Besides I'm a bonghead!I'm going to brag but I can make a bamboo bong in ten minutes anybody want one?Think of going into bamboo bong making. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
