New upcoming drug law

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

That's ok, let's pretend you didn't claim meth and fentanyl was as deadly.
I did say it. Don’t need to pretend about anything.
Right, so you are talking out of your ass and I can't understand why? If you know so little about a topic why do you need to keep making a fool of yourself? Are you drunk or what's going on?
Not drunk, don’t feel I’m talking out of my ass, and I know enough about the subject.
Meth users tend to lose their teeth, fentanyl users their pulse.

I'm sorry that you choose to remain ignorant, hopefully you won't harm anyone with your misinformed conclusions.
You are saying people don’t overdose and die from meth, you seem to be the ignorant one.

Food for thought…

Legalizing marijuana doesn’t necessarily get rid of illegal marijuana use.

Any tuk-tuk driver you walk by asks if you want it. Gets annoying after a while.
For some strange reason, they never ask me. Boo-hoo.
LOL. Go down by riverside between 130 and 178. If they don’t ask you it’s because you look like a narc.
I walk that stretch every day. Not once have I been asked.

The article makes a good point about how excessive taxes and regulatory rigmarole disincentivize legitimate enterprises. But in the past 2-3 years, L.A. County has clamped down pretty hard on illegal dispensaries (the type of shops that run on generators because the city shuts off their power while the landlord lets them keep selling, for a percentage of course). There used to be such a shop, the Dub Club, in Van Nuys that got shut down 5 or 6 times before it stuck and those weed hooligans went elsewhere with their ammonia-soaked buds.

Plenty of states transitioned from medical programs to recreational ones. But going recreational to medical? This is a first.

If this change happens, how onerous will they make it for shops to transition from recreational to medical?

(The easier, the better. There's been significant capital already spent.)

What good will retaining your shop's license be if products are capped at 0.2% THC? What is this, Utah?

That's a severely limited product line.
