If a country allows cigarettes and cigars, then I think Cannabis should follow the same rules. Myself, I don’t like anything you half to smoke. But I don’t think anyone thinks that any of those 3 things are good for you either,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Good question Benjamin, as you ask, I can share my experience of what I’ve observed living in Alaska, the first state in America to Legalize Cannabis and now Oregon that legalized Cannabis and latter all drugs to quite obvious and disastrous consequence.

In Alaska when it became legal to possess and grow limited quantities of marijuana for personal use, marijuana was not legal to sell commercially, nor hyper-commercialized as harmless and beneficial health product (as it is now in Oregon), in Alaska overall it seemed it’s arguable that it was a net positive policy. However, at the time while working in the Alaskan oil and gas industry, where use of alcohol became strictly prohibited, most friends and coworkers who were alcohol dependent and addicted, instead became dependent upon marijuana, as it was easier to transport, conceal and eventually abuse. Most to become habituated to alcohol do so as a self medication for stress, inner turmoil anxiety. Is marijuana offered fewer side effects real friends became even more dependent upon marijuana then they had been on alcohol.

It wasn’t long until on some large construction projects of several hundred or several thousand workers, it became a running joke based in reality that everyone from the lowest roustabout to project superintendence and engineers were showing up stoned to deal with the long hours and and the stress of combat like working conditions. ,When your oil companies crack down on marijuana usage, that problem diminished but many of the people I worked with who were functional alcoholics ended up on cocaine, as they couldn’t treat their dependency with alcohol or marijuana.

Eventually strict drug testing was implemented and for a while it became difficult or impossible to find enough manpower you could test drug-free. There came a point to where the personnel doing the drug testing for the oil companies we’re testing clean workers several times a week or even paying them for ‘clean’ urine they could substitute on other drug tests.

As for the disaster that has followed Oregon’s decriminalization of all drugs, when Oregon first legalized private, non-commercial marijuana possession, the results were rather benign. However, that changed rapidly when Oregon moved to commercialized, tax and aggressively promote marijuana usage. During pandemic lockdowns, marijuana sales and use increased in Oregon. And when marijuana highs became cheaper and easier to obtain than alcohol, anxiety medication, and even cigarettes a good percentage of the population switched to, or started using marijuana heavily quite often as self-medication that in the long run can, and often result in side effects and dependency in a substantial percentage of of people so inclined.

During the pandemic if you walked through I walk through neighborhoods or areas with multi-family dwellings or apartments, during common wind condition, cannabis smoke was so heavy, chads in my neighborhood at times it would literally burn your my eyes and make me cough. The thing I notice here in Oregon as I bicycle a lot is that in warm weather it’s quite common two encounter drivers who are smoking marijuana or vaping cannabis oil. Traffic accidents in the number of stone drivers on the road has become a major public safety hazard in Oregon, now America state with the highest level of cannabis, drug abuse, drug related crime, deaths and overdose, become so bad that the Oregon governor has declared a state of emergency relating to drug use in crime. Having lived through it Benjamin, it’s literally destroying, lives, families, and our state on a broad level.

For 16 years now, I’ve been involved with a nationwide and international outreach operation to assist military service members, veterans, first responders and their families with stress and combat stress related conditions. Majority of hundreds of individuals I’ve interacted with who have sought assistance relate substance abuse as a major Factor in their suffering, any or most of home just like the thousands of homeless and much of America (impossibly worst in Oregon) if you ask will relate that their severe substance dependencies started with self-medication of substances such as alcohol and marijuana considered by many to not be ‘drugs’.

What many health and mental health practitioners understand and will can relate, is that when people self-medicate to suppress psycho-emotional conditions such as the effects of stress, fear, anxiety, anger, rage disorders, trauma and etc, that absent of clinical intervention, the suppression of symptoms can facilitate the condition becoming worse, compelling many to seen stronger forms of self-medication as symptoms surface.

Cannabis, especially in concentrated forms or varieties, or as common now in Oregon spiked with meth or fentanyl offers a stronger means to suppress the effects of suppressed rather than treated anxiety, until it becomes a clinical or ever increasing clinical disorder, that is Oregon we now see as s systemic social and health crisis.

The path of the Oregon drug policy disaster ( largely influenced by political actors often inspired by the WEF) started with hyper-commercialization of what may not be considered drug, but which many use to self-medicate that played a part in the public, political, economic human disaster that needs to be addressed but is only being made worse, by what many allege is part of a global agenda as a pilot project for the world.

It occurs to me Benjamin that if Thailand is to legalize cannabis that policies surrounding that legalization look to the example how finical and political profit motives and possibly even foreign agendas created an unprecedented and unmitigated disaster, if Thailand posses the superior political and social fortitude to avoid Oregon’s globalist-centric failures, and what risks, profit motives and foreign agenda may be attached to legalization and politicization of not just a liberty to use a herb, but political agendas with intended and unintended consequences, and to strive to make informed and objective decisions.

I have been going to the same cannabis shop in Petchabun for a year now. The majority of customers are Thai, so Thai people are benefiting from this product. The businesses is so successful, they have opened an additional shop. I thought this was the reason that cannabis was delisted, for the economic benefit of Thai people. What a shame to end this without any voice from the people.

To the extent that I understand, the verbiage in the article has little to do with the subjects it seems to talk about. It is calling this a legal drug issue because that is the language needed to delay and apportion who gets how much. Because much money is to be made, it will get sorted out behind that word screen. After it does get sorted out, the group that backs the plan, and that offers SOME money and business, will do well at the polls while any group that appears not to do so will do badly. If the process takes too long, or for some other reason a kink develops, the present party in power takes the hit. Their enemies likely already are maneuvering and are happy at the delays and word salad. So, for politicians, while waiting, be ready to jump on the wagon when you hear the band warming up (a workable plan is offered). Have half your cake and eat the other half too if you are clever enough, especially clever with word screens. Mike

Herb has many uses including as a political football. For example the Governor of Louisiana USA, has recently moved abortion drugs to the dangerous category, for political not medical reasons.
