r/CannabisThailand Newsletter - Issue #68

Consider the source

Oct 22, 2023

Sawadee Everyone,

Brace yourselves, dear readers, for I’m about to tread into the treacherous waters of controversy – and I’ll be doing it with a grin and a flair for the dramatic!

It seems the digital grapevine (also known as r/CannabisThailand and its siblings) is abuzz with predictions about the future of cannabis in the Land of Smiles. Spoiler alert: Most of these forecasts are about as accurate as a weather report in a Shakespearean play.

Now, I’m not questioning the intellect of these cyber soothsayers. Oh no, they're sharp as tacks! But there’s a sneaky little thing called confirmation bias playing puppeteer here. It’s the mental equivalent of “hear no evil, see no evil,” but in this case, it’s “see only cannabis-positive content, hear only cannabis-positive gossip.”

You’ve all seen it in action, the “Cannabis can do no wrong” brigade, armed with their battle cries of “The genie is out of the bottle and running amok!” and “Weed illegal again? In your dreams!” And who could forget the classic hits “Cannabis cures cancer!” and “Addicted to weed? That’s a good one!”

Now, don’t get me wrong. I’m not here to rain on the cannabis parade. I’m just suggesting we might want to pack an umbrella… just in case.

So, could Thailand pull a U-turn and recriminalize cannabis? While it’s as likely as finding a needle in a haystack, never say never. And for those claiming cannabis is the cure-all elixir we’ve been waiting for – remember, even magic potions need a disclaimer.

But here’s the kicker: acknowledging these potential grey clouds on the cannabis horizon doesn’t make you a buzzkill, it makes you informed. And being informed is like having a secret weapon, especially when navigating through the smoky haze of cannabis conversations.

And speaking of conversations, remember that shouting “You’re wrong!” in someone’s face is about as effective as trying to teach a cat to high-five. Instead, why not try a sprinkle of facts, a dash of empathy, and a generous helping of “Let’s agree to disagree”?

So, as we reach the end of this whirlwind ride through the cannabis conundrum, let’s not forget: the future of weed in Thailand is as uncertain as a plot twist in a telenovela. And while we may not have all the answers, we do have the power to listen, learn, and perhaps most importantly, laugh at the absurdity of it all.

So, here’s to the future – whatever it may hold, and whatever we may be high on when it arrives.

Cheers,
