This shows how low Thailand can go for tourist dollars.

The ones with brains and common sense didn't join the army and become dumb Generals so are probably looked upon as being suspect.

I wonder if those 851 doctors agree that alcohol and cigarettes should also be banned ??
You have to be a rather crazy country to ban your own NATIVE plants in the first place lol
Its not like since the dawn of time people were not buying and selling cannabis here in bars in every single city and town anyway, goes to show how out of touch some people really are.

It's a whole lot easier to let the genie out of the bottle than it is to get him back in.

One million free plants?

No matter how smart or tough you think you are no one can undo what's done.
