Re: Cambodia needs to take a page from Thailand!

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Anutin predicts fully legalized marijuana would be a more significant and lucrative crop for Thailand than rice, sugarcane, tapioca, rubber, or other produce in his nation’s mostly agrarian economy

Anutin Charnvirakul wants to legalise pot
and ban paraquat, glyphosate and cholorpyrifos.

He deserves another "Knight Grand Cordon Special Class of the Most Exalted Order of the White Elephant" award.
I reckon.

Some people would say that thailand will not legalise pot becuase corrupt officials make far too much money from illegal crops...

Three's not really enough product on the street for the officials to making any serious money. Let's hope this fairs better for them and sets a trend the neighbors can covet.

Yes, you can't have paraquat with your pot. Give him a couple of those award thingies!

Some officials must be making huge bucks from the meth/yama business. The ganja is peanuts. This goes for all over SEA.

Others saying its just BS to try and stop the masses pissed off with the junta...

Hopefully, some country in the region will legalise it soon.

I'd like to try a little of it before I die. I've heard it makes you "high". :wink:
