Just try to stay factual, anyway i did not think cocaine was 2 only when i looked it up i saw it was. Strange would have thought it was a category I Best to let them totally liberalise cat 5 (weed kratom) instead of this. 10 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post connda Posted November 17, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 17, 2020 @Sheryl Would this possibly open up the wider use of narcotics such as morphine for end-of-life palliative care outside of provincial government hospitals. Like possibly government hospitals at the amphur level finally being allowed to procure and prescribe Cat II narcotics for the suffering of terminal patients under the hospital's care? 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
