    But still smoking it is against the law? COOKIES!!
    And America still calls it a Schedule I Drug like fentanyl/heroin.



  2. Momula101 on June 14, 2022 at 4:16 pm

    So you can have it..but can’t smoke it. They going right back to jail 🤣



  3. John Mason on June 14, 2022 at 4:17 pm

    It’s sad when Thailand is more free than the home of the free.



  4. Trancemutator on June 14, 2022 at 4:17 pm

    That’s one thing people don’t realize is that drug laws in most Asian Countries are pretty strict. And when I mean strict you can get the dust sentence in some places. Thailand only legalizing weed because their tourism industry, which makes up most of the economy, is way down.



  5. Indioprophecy81 on June 14, 2022 at 4:18 pm

    WOW. Thailand. Thailand just legalize marijuana. Thats unbelievable.



  6. KayJax on June 14, 2022 at 4:18 pm

    Wow so much of their time and life wasted away because petty government taking their time learning how to regulate and tax.



  7. Jimmy Woo on June 14, 2022 at 4:19 pm

    The whole point of the law is so the country can grow and sell it not for its people to use it.



  8. Brighter Daze on June 14, 2022 at 4:19 pm

    So i wonder if now being able to grow it as food and other things, could you technically make edibles out of it? Interesting to see how that plays out. Have they stipulated that you cannot decarb the buds before using in food products?
    It’s not smoking it.
    Be hilarious if they left out that part.



  9. frisco berce on June 14, 2022 at 4:20 pm

    thais 🤟



  10. Delfino Garza on June 14, 2022 at 4:20 pm

    They should do that in the USA too.



  11. Robert Lindsay on June 14, 2022 at 4:23 pm

    I’ll do a bowl of this one!



  12. mclaine33 on June 14, 2022 at 4:26 pm

    Why is smoking still against the law? If your legalizing it… then that shouldn’t matter.



  13. Steve Stelly on June 14, 2022 at 4:29 pm

    Welcome to the real world



  14. Putra Giarta on June 14, 2022 at 4:29 pm

  15. Michael Mackin on June 14, 2022 at 4:31 pm

    Thank God if he is still here



  16. Johann Pretorius on June 14, 2022 at 4:31 pm

    LOL I’m going next week. These guys are good at timing things right.



  17. Yoshi Tekashi on June 14, 2022 at 4:32 pm

    Bro why legalize its consumption instead of smoking? Edibles will have u on another dimension.



  18. Benoit Corbeil on June 14, 2022 at 4:33 pm

    I’ll smoke to that – a Canadian!



  19. Jepeth on June 14, 2022 at 4:33 pm

    Well eating it is much more healthy than smoking it. It also has a stronger effect when you eat as opposed to smoking.



  20. Good Samaritan on June 14, 2022 at 4:34 pm

    United states need to take a step forward



  21. Xenu on June 14, 2022 at 4:34 pm

    Incredible!!!



  22. dok36 on June 14, 2022 at 4:35 pm

    Good job



  23. Just a PS4 Player1017 on June 14, 2022 at 4:36 pm

    Can grow but can’t smoke it what a joke



  24. E C on June 14, 2022 at 4:38 pm

    Sounds like the government is just getting in on the racket. Cultivate but can’t consume? What else would they be trying to accomplish?



  25. Vango74 on June 14, 2022 at 4:38 pm

    Awesome to bad America won’t don’t the same



  26. Nismo Too Nice on June 14, 2022 at 4:40 pm

    America, take notes.



  27. Chris Gill on June 14, 2022 at 4:46 pm

    bout time



  28. Gus 1901 on June 14, 2022 at 4:48 pm

  29. LuvToys Collector on June 14, 2022 at 4:52 pm

    Hah that’s great 👍 Smoke 💨 it up 😝

    The 13-minute, 42-second 1942 US Department of Agriculture video *Hemp for Victory* is the key to reducing unemployment, reducing poverty, reducing hunger, reducing homelessness, reducing health care costs, reducing crime, reducing police brutality, reducing government spending, reducing political corruption, reducing pollution, replacing fossil fuels, ending deforestation and stopping climate change, all at the same time.
    There is an official .gov link to the film from the US National Archives. It has been public since 1990.
    There was a bill in Congress titled HR 3652, the *Hemp for Victory Act of 2019.*

    The federal license to grow Cannabis that is shown in *Hemp for Victory* reads, "Producer of Marihuana."
    This was only five years after "Marihuana" was outlawed by the US Federal government.

    News Alert – Trumpist Shooting?

    stop the violence by arresting Trump and his leadership team!

    Proud Boys Leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio is arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Pezzola arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Ethan Nordean, of Seattle, arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Joe Biggs, of the Daytona Beach area arrested for seditious conspiracy
    Proud Boys – Zachary Rehl, of Philadelphia arrested for seditious conspiracy

    Peter Navarrow Arrested, Guilty and Indicted!
    Steve Bannon Arrested, Guilty and Indicted!

    Mark Meadows Guilty and Contempt
    Dan Scavino Guilty and Contempt
    Civil Contempt For Trump Is Pending
    Civil lawsuits For Trump Are Pending
    Jail Time For Trump Is Coming: he stole white house documents and gifts to America from foreign officials. oh and he is the insurrection leader

    Now you know what the future with Trumpism will continue to be like !! More mass shooting will happen if DOJ Garland doesnt arrest all top Trumpists.

    No person is above the law! Listen to former DOJ Eric Holder, you can and need to prosecute Trump.

    since January 6 2021 not one single Republican lawmaker has been held accountable for their insurrection actions. they will win re-election if not arrested and they will cause more chaos and mass shootings. Put an end to the evil Trumpist Republicans and support the good Republicans and good democrats.

    DOJ Garland is ending democracy by not prosecuting all top Trumpists.

    MAGA Trumpists are ramping up their war machine to lie about their insurrection! Dont believe the lies!

    ….

    More Very Disturbing Trends –

    1 Law enforcement has NO OBLIGATION TO HELP ANYONE

    2 Law enforcement cant be prosecuted for Not doing their jobs

    3 Law enforcement can legally lie unless they are under oath at that moment; their oath is meaningless

    4 The District Attorney will side with the cops almost always

    This is just normal Trumpist behavior.

    Texas Shooting Coverup …..over 18 armed evil trumpist c o p s had over 11,000 live rounds of ammo and they waited. and waited…..while people were being killed. it took the border patrol to take out the shooter…. how sad is that?

    when will these evil trumpist cops be fired and arrested? they wont because they have qualified immunity!

    nothing will happen to these evil trumpist people unless the locals keep up the pressure and the cops and politicians involved leave!
    .

    Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.

    Proverbs 10:9, NI
