    Great video, calling a spade a spade. Governments are taking your freedom away bit by bit, for the 'interest of society'. Everyone can tell there are corporate interests at play when the governments say that it's the people that want this or that, show me the referendum or polling results. If people didn't want cannabis in society, why are there so many shops? Why is business booming?

Funny how things work out when you are a blowhard on TH-cam.

    In a similar way. Businesses have a dream and they expect consumers to buy into it. Doesn't always work. This gov wants a certain kind of tourist, fewer but who spend tons. That dream might not fit with average people going into economic hard times ahead. Thailand is simply not set up to be a playground of the rich and famous, they need to appeal to middle class people for their tourism.

    There are 122 countries worldwide where cannabis is completely illegal (for either medical or recreational use) & recognized as a narcotic. You sound like someone who's angry because the Thai government is considering taking away something you are possibly addicted to & been freely available to you, up until now. (You seem "overly angry" about this, almost to the point where you are taking it personally. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm just telling you like I see it). PS: Love the channel. Keep up the good work.

My guess is that it will remain so common place that it will hardly be enforced anyway. The store fronts with the neon green leaves may not remain, but the connections have been made, the supply and demand will continue... so they'd be wise to keep the taxes rolling in verses forcing it all underground again.

    Extremely excellent commentary on the nonsense concerning legalization by the confused government on ganja vs. Yaabaa. I currently have a Thai lady friend that is “hooked” on yaabaa and headed for certain death if she continues. And have seen many Thais abused by that narcotic. The mere thought of the government legalizing certain amounts of yaabaa in comparison to ganja is ludicrous! Ganja is a calming non addictive plant, and I tend to think that even alchohol is much more destructive to the population. Sure…putting recreational restrictions on ganja is welcomed by everyone, and that is what should happen.
