I'm a Thailand native and life threw me into a tough battle with Meth addiction. Struggling financially, I ended up as a 'เด็กเดินยา, hustling to move drugs for a fix. It all came crashing down with my arrest at 23, marking 12 intense years. Now I've left that behind, finding comfort in cannabis and Kratom (กระท่อม) on my path to recovery. ☺️🙏🍃🌳🔥💨

Psychedelics saved me from years of uncontrollable depression, anxiety, smoking, and illicit pills addiction. Imagine carving heavy chains for over a decade and then all of a sudden that burden is gone. Believe it or not, in a couple of years they'll be all over for treatment of mental health related issues.

Weed should be legal globally. I’m from Canada and I can’t imagine a world where it’s illegal again.

[juniormorris]

I think there's no stopping it now. People will do what they want, regardless the laws. I'm fighting prohibition in USA. Locking people up for weed is insane.

I'm Australian, I have a medical cannabis prescription here at home, which I know is completely useless outside of my own country, but it would be great if it was useable in countries that also allow medical cannabis. I've used cannabis for 23 years, 20 of those years were illegally, 3 years on prescription. I was in Thailand, March 2023, I had the time of my life, it was so liberating to use it freely, I mainly use for insomnia and anxiety but a little recreational use at times. Usually when I'm on holiday outside of Australia, I really struggle to sleep, I resort to drinking, being able to have a joint at night out on the balcony of my hotel room was just fantastic, I slept so well, I hadn't enjoyed a holiday that much in years, I fell in love with Thailand. I hope they take a really sensible approach to this.

It's funny how once a restrictive law is in place it takes ages for it to be even considered debatable, but when a law that does the opposite, it can go from being completely legal to illegal within months.

I am was in Thailand and enjoyed it a lot but I understand we Smokers must show some Respect.

[Lamexicanaentailandia]

Loved this episode. Thanks for keeping us up to-date on all the law changes, from taxes to wonder land.

Im from California, when it became medically legal in the beginning getting a script was easy. They even had Dr.s in house writing script. ..then it went full blown legal and taxed the hell out of it 😂

[AdawgSuperhighway]

I’m from California…. I went to Kush House last night! I never wanted to visit Thailand because of the weed laws. Now I visit and I love it here!

[warntheidiotmasses]

Someone should propose liquor prohibition. See how the beer and liquor companies like it.

[charliejackson]

Really the best information I’ve gotten from a lot of Thailand YouTube channels on this subject. I need my medication and won’t travel to a place it’s unavailable. Life’s too short to be needlessly in pain

[breeannacharlesworth]

I feel like what we might end up with as tourists is just that you pay a 'traditional doctor' (who may or may not be qualified) an extra fee for a prescription and then its the same free for all after that.
So just a way to get another payment from tourists.

[laughingoutloud]

No mention of Holland? A country where it’s used for both medicinal and recreational purposes, and is and has been thriving for years! I honestly can’t see the issue, alcohol is and will always be far worse.

[MrEyeget]

There are ways to skirt every law. This will play out to benefit rich Thai owners and generate more money for the politicians. The requirement for prescriptions and record-keeping are window dressing.

[groberogier]

Despite a few attempts from MSM to blame Cannabis for criminal acts and even murder, I think time has shown that the legalization did not trigger mass chaos and lawlessness. I think the gov's main concern is the collection of tax, coz they are missing out on an enormous amount of revenue without having any regulations.

[ninettemurk]

Also seems great for Thailand's farmers and the economy in general- there's much more money to be made from growing weed plants than from sugar cane, for instance.

You beat me to it Chris. I am having an interview for my YouTube channel with a store manager, owner, and farm operator. My interview will take place on Monday. Of course, I do not have the amount of viewers that you have. I think it will be a good interview.

[JadedJet]

I smoke but I'm so sick of this miracle cure attitude. If you seriously have chronic back issues, cannabis isn't doing shit to help it. Especially not to the point you're able to walk all over Bangkok.

[BrandenBrazil]

The look of relief on Chris’ face, when he heard that edibles would still give a buzz, was priceless! 😂
