News Forum - Pattaya wants to enact city’s own cannabis-control law

[Thaiger]

Pattaya’s council is already fed up of waiting for a national cannabis act to be passed, so the city has started to draft their own cannabis-control law. Pattaya’s Deputy Mayor Thitiphan Phettrakul chaired a meeting on Friday to discuss rules and regulations needed to control and prohibit the use of cannabis and hemp, especially in schools.

The "minors" bit makes some sense (from a realistic point of view), but criminalizing the act of selling certain products to women who use bodily fluids to nurture humans (possibly still in the production stage) doesn't.

Firstly, there's no way the seller can be expected to correctly identify all such prospects, and secondly, even if some of those women do get rejected, it just an easy matter of sending a friend on an errand.

The amendments do make sense from a purely logical point of view (what could be simpler than "cut off the problem at the source"?), but we live in an irrational world. Either the women in question are oblivious to the potential hazardous effects (in which case they should have been told), or they are knowingly willing to take the risk (in which case it should be their problem if things go awry).

Girls/women up the duff are certainly told of the dangers of fags & booze. Those who lay off them are intelligent, otherwise it's 'up tp you'.  The same applies to cannabis. 

Must pregnant ladies also wear a helmet and drive on the left?   555

Poorly thought out legislation now biting their derrieres. 

Bad legislation , throw in the dumb factor, add corruption, no wonder criminals love Thailand.

Well that would be great. Each and every city, village, town, or hamlet with their very own laws. Confusion galore. Posters with the local laws at the entry roads?

I just wonder what happens when a local law conflicts with a national law. In most civilized countries national law will be THE law.
