MichaelT Posted June 8, 2022 #218645 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Wow Thailand is doing something that makes sense. Releasing prisoners of the crime that is now legal, the US should follow that. 1 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/14955-news-forum-more-than-3000-%E2%80%98cannabis-convicts%E2%80%99-to-be-released-from-thai-prison-tomorrow/#findComment-218645 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go wash your mouth out with soap, the 'HOLY' Trinity of FBI, CIA and Homeland would never allow it. 1 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/14955-news-forum-more-than-3000-%E2%80%98cannabis-convicts%E2%80%99-to-be-released-from-thai-prison-tomorrow/#findComment-218663 Share on other sites More sharing options...

jerm138 Posted June 8, 2022 #218694 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Any good sites with tips on growing outdoors in Bangkok? It seems like the humidity would cause bud rot every time.

The only major issue was the big snails when the plants are young. They love the leaves!

WilliamG Posted June 9, 2022 #218756 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Does it also mean that any motorist who was fined for driving over 90kph before the speed limit was raised to 120, will get their money back?

TWS60 Posted June 9, 2022 #218786 Share Posted June 9, 2022 Half-way through this article, I thought surely it was a Thaiger gag that would end with, "Just Kidding! 5555!" Imagine poor old Prayuth just spat coffee all over his keyboard, yelling madly to his Aide to get that bleepity bleep Justice Minister on the phone ASAP! Last week it was canceling public mask wearing, and now this! I don't know guys, but sounds like a few of Uncle P's underlings might be hitting the old water bong themselves. Had you told me at Christmas 2019 that we'd all be wearing masks into the Tesco in 2022, and that weed would be decriminalized in Thailand, I would have laughed, "Ha ha, right! Good one, mate!" 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://talk.thethaiger.com/topic/14955-news-forum-more-than-3000-%E2%80%98cannabis-convicts%E2%80%99-to-be-released-from-thai-prison-tomorrow/#findComment-218786 Share on other sites More sharing options...
