How many times have you read, "pot smoker runs red light and kills family of 4?"
I think you can attest to that
Have never heard of a "pot overdose" either
Look its a non brainier, Pot wont kill ya and once more research is done, it will be shown it might help extend your life, relive pain and in some cases, save it
Is Aspirin safe? Its legal and helps many many people with pain BUTBy legalizing it, you're saying that it's safe for everyone. Which simply isn't true.
Its up to each person to decide, but please don't believe the hypeCommon over-the-counter painkillers such as aspirin kill around 20,000 Americans every year, and another 100,000 end up in hospital as a result of taking the drug, new research reveals

Re: Thailand’s Unlikely Embrace of Cannabis.
Quoted by Xandrew:
"By legalizing it, you're saying that it's safe for everyone. Which simply isn't true."
How do you come 2 that conclusion? Tobacco is legal but harmful.
By legalizing something you can do a great many positive things for peeps u can't when it's illegal. Peeps take drugs regardless of legality.
Legalize and quality control them so the dangerous strains are limited.
And of course many will say it's unfair to ban a drug the majority enjoy simply because a minority can't handle it.
We need a common sense government that tells the people the realities and truth, and offers freedoms of safety with harm reduction, not outright unconstitutional bans that only works for criminals.

Re: Thailand’s Unlikely Embrace of Cannabis.
On a related note, NZ is holding a referendum on legalising cannabis next year. Helen Clark (via the Helen Clark Foundation) is pushing for the Yes vote.
Download the PDF: https://helenclark.foundation/wp-conten ... rendum.pdf
Any Kiwis who are still eligible to vote should be able to take part (i.e. if you have been in NZ within three years of the vote, I think).

Re: Thailand’s Unlikely Embrace of Cannabis.
The house is in her name, my six plants can be too. I remember Thai stick as being a very good smoke, not like the ragweed available out here in Isaan. I don t need it to be the Amsterdam of SE Asia, just a little piece of Vancouver would be nice.phuketrichard wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 7:54 amONLY for Locals ( thai's)MarkRobinson wrote: ↑Mon Sep 16, 2019 1:43 am

Re: Thailand’s Unlikely Embrace of Cannabis.
Thai stick was supposedly dipped in opium tincture.
Doubt we will see that again.

Re: Thailand’s Unlikely Embrace of Cannabis.
^^^ Urban myth. (occasionally only)
I have never met any serious student of 70's-80's thai sticks that believed it.
(and i have talked to quite a few, at the relevant times and places)
This is backed up by a wide ranging study of australian marijuanna supply in the early 80,s - studying imported and locally grown confiscated dope specifically for contamination by other drugs. Zero evidence was found to back this up.
repeat, occasionally yes.
I do agree tho' that we are unlikely to see the real Thai ever again.
All those strains have been drowned in a sea of that ubiquitous poxy "Dutch" hybrid shit that the kids love these days.
