Popular Post webfact Posted June 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 26, 2020 Spanish man arrested in Bangkok for allegedly growing marijuana plants By THE NATION A Spanish man was arrested after police allegedly found marijuana plants in his house. Din Daeng police went to check a house in the Chom Thong district of Bangkok on Friday (June 26), after the marijuana plants were detected. Police allegedly found 35 plants and a greenhouse in the house, together with a vacuum sealer, plastic bags, and scales. The house was owned by a Spanish man aged 42, who was charged with producing the narcotic. The operation is cracking down on more people involved in the marijuana network. The house owner informed police that he had grown the plants on the third floor of his house, and had done it for around three months.

I was just reading about one banned from the Phils for mouthing off to their cops. But really, when are they just going to legalize the weed here?

JackThompson Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Thailand is a very poor choice for someone who wants to smoke weed, much less grow it. There are plenty of other options, where it's not a "big deal" - but here, caught even possessing a small amount is a big problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csmith Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Doctor friend of mine told me a year ago that individuals in Thailand allowed to grow up to three plants for their own use .… I'm guessing that means .… for cooking. Right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thai government produces cannabis ( marijuana) and provides it for residents for medical use. it’s been used for centuries here as an herbal treatment and traditional Thai chicken soup is made with cannabis leaves. I would hardly call someone growing 35 immature plants a drug pusher. It’s the safest therapeutically active compound on the planet according to a US FDA official. It’s never killed a single person, unlike tobacco and alcohol, which I’m guessing you have no problems with, right. 11 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Crane Posted June 26, 2020 Share Posted June 26, 2020 Like most counties, it's illegal and a zero torrelance. <deleted> learn the rules before you go to other counties, It's not rocket science. Don't think because it's ok in your country, then it's ok In thailand. I am a vapour (e-cigarettes) legal in most civilised countries but illegal In Thailand.

I am in contact with many American and Canadian citizens who admit doing 3-6 years in prison for growing cannabis and subsequently been blocked from all legitimate sources of work for the rest of their lives by their record. I don't think Thailand is any worse. Edited June 27, 2020 by BritManToo 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
