Olddaddy Posted June 9, 2022 Posted June 9, 2022 Just reading the latest news on Thailand legalising marijuana this week. I think it's great that times are changing all over the World . I'm not into drugs taking of any sort but it's no use fighting a war over a drug that doesn't seem to make people violent.( Unlike alcohol) I hope the rest of the world including Australia follows suit.

Sherlocked Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 Wow, this is very welcome, but quite surprising. I always thought that Southeast Asia was one of the strictest regions in the world when it came to drug consumption or possession! Hopefully, this becomes a catalyst for more Asian countries following suit, although that seems unlikely for now. Olddaddy 1 Quote

This is the case in many smaller communities in Canada where almost all of the police activity is related to alcohol. The question now is whether legal pot will replace alcohol over time and will crime and police calls go down. Edited June 11, 2022 by xpaulo vinapu and Olddaddy 1 1 Quote
