Did you write that with a straight face?

Low does not mean none.
Hemp may be lower in THC (than the other variants)but that does not mean that there is none. Whether the legislation is an over reaction, excessive, or whatever, it should still give you some clue as to the why.

I keep thinking of Thailand … somehow they changed the law … so I think it can be done … with so many Cambodians sufferers of diseases such as diabetes, high blood, cancer, etc. … if there was some way to get the latest data on the medical miracles this plant provides into the hands of lawmakers … well, it has to start somewhere with something … I had friends in Santa Cruz who were the first folks to get prop 215 passed in California … it just takes patience and the belief that it can be done … how is the 6 million dollar question.

The short lived legalisation of cannabis in Thailand will in all likelihood be repealed very soon?

While it's illegal to grow hemp it's products are available if you look in the right places. Kampot comes to mind.

Or you could grow a few yourself. One or two at the time without anyone knowing, out of sight, without upsetting someone, without spreading the word (including at this place) and you will most probably be fine. Just don't start selling the stuff, or do anything else which might put you on the radar of the authorities, keep low. (Lush) Garden required though.

Prolly right … but I am interested more in changing the status quo and old ways of thinking about cannabis … it was the good ole USA news mogul from California William Randolph Hearst who funded the Reefer Madness campaign and the demonization of one of nature’s finest gifts to medicine … and his propaganda spread worldwide … my mom used it in her final days and died smiling … in contrast, her mom died in agony due to Texas laws back then prohibiting its use … even as medicine. There are such strong and compelling reasons to decriminalize cannabis as medicine. I pray the next generation in countries which outlaw cannabis will change and allow people suffering to use it as god intended.

I can get local weed illegally but cheaply anytime and it suits me fine medically .
I am stocked up and always have a stash . Don’t need no kool aid .
I don’t have to grow my own or even need my “ green card “ .
For treats I can get anything I want from USA thru the post office .

For individuals agree, status quo works fine … I am thinking more towards doing boutique medical products and small sustainable farming … I have skin cancer and indica oil is a well known cure in countries where it is allowed as medicine.
