Thailand Might Legalize Cannabis Next Week
Millions of people have been murdered as a result of the drug war that's been ongoing for decades worldwide. While there are many countries today that still maintain strict penalties for anyone who is caught growing, exchanging, or possessing etc, a variety of controlled substances, we have seen that there has been a growing acceptance at least for cannabis for either medicinal or recreational purposes.
Uruguay, Canada, Portugal, and many states in the U.S., have either sought to legalize cannabis for medicinal or recreational purposes, or in the case of Portugal they have sought to decriminalize all drugs.
Who might become the next country to move forward with their own version of a legal cannabis market?
Some suspect that Thailand might be the first country in Asia to make the move and it might come as early as next week.
According to the public health committee chair for the nation's national legislative assembly, they are currently mulling over a draft bill that would make way for legalization of medicinal cannabis in the region.
It's expected that this bill could be signed into law within just a few days.
In some countries where cannabis is still illegal today, you could even face the death penalty for your victimless “crime” and these are places such as Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and the Philippines.
Drug use is a personal choice that shouldn't be punishable by death, neither should growing or selling etc to interested parties who are willingly looking to trade in a peaceful manner. It is those, aggressing in-between the exchange, who are committing human rights violations and it would tremendously benefit the cause of liberty if the drug war were to finally come to an end and drugs were to be further decriminalized so that people weren't being jailed and murdered over victimless crimes.
According to one VP of marketing for a cannabis corporation in Thailand, they are able to produce cannabis in the region for a fraction of the price that it costs to grow in the West and he has urged those interested in the industry to start looking toward Thailand as the next big growth area for the cannabis industry.
I can't wait till more countries follow. There is no good reason making it illegal.
Getting top quality weed, hash, pills and coke in Thailand is easy if you know the right people to deal with. We highly recommend our reliable local vendor ( [email protected] ) he has extensive knowledge of Thailand and can hook you up with the best quality of bud without any hassle. Just hit him up and place your order. He is very professional and keep things discreet. You won't regret dealing with him. Email "green420days(at)gmail(dot)com "
unless that reason is control 👍
A lot of other countries, like the ones you mentioned, and others like Spain, have already had decrim laws in place much better than Canada has just introduced.
It's weird that places like Thailand are suddenly "legalising" after having death penalties for cannabis...right after Canada's legalisation (which was supposed to be decrim 20 years ago). Something smells here and it's not the dank haha.
Very interesting post! Thanks for the read, this a really cool news for tokers.. It used to be 99years for a whiteperson in thailand even for a joint!
I need to recharge vp so sorry theres no vote ☺
I really would not expected that. of all things Thailand ...
When I wanted to buy something there a few years ago, it was extremely difficult. In any case, a great post!
thanks, yeah it would be surprising!
Governments have no right to restrict what people knowingly choose to put into their bodies. This war on drugs is so stupid.
Governments pump us full of drugs on the daily! Even in the food and drinks
You're like a friggen great source of news, and relevant news especially or coincidentally to me. I'm heading straight to Thailand form Krakow and that's just nuts to think weed may be legal by the time I get there. I had no idea. Now to your ramen noodle war post. Another relevant post for me as I head to asia! lol Keep up the great work brother!
thanks for passing by and checking up man! appreciate it! as always, safe travels!
I'd be interested to know as to whether Thailand has ever experienced the implications of excessive drug use akin to what China experienced during the opium crisis and the subsequent Opium Wars which resulted. I can see why a majority of Asia abhors drugs, they've had quite a negative history with it.
many more problems have been and continue to be fueled by alcohol, and yet we don't see them engage in a similar nonsensical war against personal choice and freedom to drink?
Thankfully, a growing number of people worldwide seem to be abandoning their misguided and propaganda-fueled fears surrounding drugs and are embracing at least cannabis for medicinal purposes if not recreational use. There is no reason that someone who could benefit medicinally from cannabis should be prevented from obtaining access, to violate such basic natural rights seems to push us in the direction of tyranny. We'd rather people suffer and live a lower quality of life, cage them or harm them? simply because we don't agree with their choice to consume a plant? silliness. The government has no business telling free people what they should and shouldn't do with their bodies.
