Well…. Dont smoke when you are drunk. better, just smoke dont drink:)

Bit silly to smoke a joint when you don't know what's in it, specially when not familiar with the effects.

 

Will he be prosecuted? Smoking it is still illegal, for causing a public nuisance and punishable with up to three months in prison.

 

T.i.T.

When exactly would that be please?

Surely the authorities do not expect zero social issues when legalising cannabis. Newton's law

Likely the joint was spiked with some dangerous "bath salts" or meth or something unnatural IMO

TIT, best buy the "brick", or flower bud and roll it yourself

Reports like this will ruin it for everyone else.

Soon floods during the rainy season, Covid and climate change are also caused by marijuana.

Perhaps he ingested too much for a newbie and didn't take it slow and easy from the start like he should have? What a twerp and he brought the spotlight on him and more added condemnation of it by the goodie goodies here who are ok with alcohol and cigs but not the ole evil happy smoke.

So much loose talk about weed these days, making it seem like a benign thing to the uninitiated/inexperienced.  In that case, 1/2 a joint is a lot IMO.  Especially mixed with alcohol before and/or afterward, which even for me on a few occasions, has led to some unhappy but highly instructional episodes.   Unfortunately, suspect this article will be seized upon by Prayuth in a "See! I told you so!" lecture from the BKK Soap Box.

Not actually. A babe in the woods. Don't you remember when you first started? That is if you did and partook. Inhale too much and you are comotose. I would never force a newbie to take too many hits (2) on the first spark up, then wait and see, and then not much more that asone or two more. Especially with alcohol. People need to take it easy at first, and this dude probably tried to be like a mans man show off and then ended up with the old saying: wWth his di*k in the dirt.
