I just came back from Thailand a few weeks ago. Please keep it the way it is in regards to weed. It’s absolute paradise the way it is right now
free the weed!!!!
Please keep the farangs out of Thai cannabis. It’s been taken over already here for more than a year. Totally undermines the reason for legalization. I’m a farang and lifelong stoner, but these imports and farang mega grows messed up the industry very badly very quickly. Also, testing. All these shops are carrying weed pumped up with paclobutrazol which is a plant growth regulator and poison. Not cool. Keep it recreational though because that brings tourists and keeps things free.
Legalize it!
Definitely different tourists around since the cannabis law came into being (groups of young guys that I would normally not see in Krabi). For the better? Doubtful. Especially if coupled with driving a fuckin motorbike for the 1st time in their lives .. & likely on the different side of the road than they’re used to, but hey .. TIT (This Is Thailand), right?
I think Spain offers a solution that could work really well. In Spain you can only smoke at these “clubs” and they’re invite only. That’s the only place you can buy and smoke weed. Doing that in Thailand would allow them to capture 100% of the tax (which is what this about anyway) because they can tax the business and the business taxes the smokers with a yearly/monthly membership. This would provide clear rules around where you can and can’t smoke and allow the government and the dispensaries to make a pretty decent buck. Everyone’s happy.
Money talks in thai politics.
I was planning a trip to Thailand, as a daily weed user limiting it in any way would stop me.
I really hope that Thailand keep the cannabis industry. I hope they block foreign companies and keep it with in Thailand. All I needs is proper regulation and designated areas and it should be fine.
