Thailand’s new government is moving ahead to pass new legisalation banning cannabis for recreational use in a major reversal 18 months after the country became the first in Asia to decriminalize the plant.
The relaxed laws saw a lucrative cannabis industry catering to locals and foreigners alike boom across the Southeast Asian nation, but a new conservative coalition government came to power late last year vowing to tighten the rules and only allow medical use.
A draft bill was released on Tuesday by Thailand’s health ministry outlining hefty fines or prison sentences of up to one year for offenders – or both.

Cannabis doesn’t cause schizophrenia. It merely brings out symptoms earlier than normal in individuals that already have schizophrenia but haven’t had a major episode yet.
Repeat after me: Correlation Does Not Equal Causation.

Peanuts are more dangerous but they are still legal.

Again, cannabis doesn’t cause schizophrenia. If you experience symptoms after consuming cannabis, you already had schizophrenia and just didn’t know it yet. I’m not saying there aren’t risks, I’m just saying that becoming schizophrenic with no preexisting condition isn’t one of them.

No, it’s correlation because the schizophrenia already existed. The cannabis didn’t create the condition. It may have exasperated the condition, but the condition would eventually come out without the cannabis.

If you have a preexisting heart condition and eat things that exasperate it, those things didn’t give you the heart condition. It simply made it worse.
If you have preexisting schizophrenia and you consume cannabis, the cannabis didn’t give you schizophrenia. It simply made it worse.

Can you share some of that research with me? Anecdotally, I know plenty of non-schizophrenic stoners.

Of course, when we’re talking about heightened risks that spread out to entire population, you might not see any change in your local groups, if your local groups are lucky. Getting schizophrenia involves an amount of shitty luck every time, but that’s is true in varying quantities for pretty much every other disease as well.

You made a claim, and refuse to support it with evidence. Sounds like a troll or an idiot to me.

Be honest, you have literally nothing better to do than spread misinformation, you’re already wasting your time.
That’s not our job in an argument tho. You make a claim, people asked you to show evidence - now it’s your turn to to your part of the debate and show what it is that made you so sure that this was true.

Okay, you keep telling yourself that, bud.
Cannabis doesn’t cause anyone to “develop” schizophrenia.

That doesnt mean it’s dangerous to society at large, and I’d argue that authoritarism IS. Also, (illicit) heavy cannabis use saved my life and is the only thing that adaquately treats my depression and allows me to function like a normal human being. So reading this honestly makes me want to tell you to go play in traffic -The world is bleak-a-fucking-nough I hope you’re at least getting paid to post this crap
authoritarism is the #1 danger

Would you say the same thing to someone who needs SSRIs to maintain stability?
deleted by creator
no there isn’t
Yes and your chances are very very low… Lower than say getting hit by a car.
And that’s factoring the possible 30% increase in incident rate from those studies…

Eat a dick is not homophobic. Get the fuck out of here.
deleted by creator
I didn’t.
Earlier today some chick was a bitch and I thought it about her, so while it can be homophobic, it is not exclusively homophobic.
It’s been deleted now but I don’t recall anything about the either person mentioning whether or not they were a man.

Did I use it to you twice? If so, I apologize, it was meant as a reply to two different people.
If not, see previous comment

It’s an idiom that means ‘go away forever’, but with malice (possibly extreme malice). It was pretty common at some point in the last 20 years, and wasn’t really used in a homophobic way. It was more of an, “I hope you get raped to death,” vibe.
‘Eat a dick’ is usually followed by ‘and die’.
But, it’s an older one, and these days it basically means, “go the fuck away”

It looks like you’re looking for a reason to get upset, buddy.

So what’s wrong with eating a dick?
Is oral sex performed on men a bad thing for a person to engage in?
I am not the guy who said it and I don’t remember his exact phrasing.
Eat a dick can be homophonic but is not only homophonic.
What is the none homophobic usage for telling someone to eat a dick?
I can answer that, earlier today some chick was being a bitch, and I thought man she can eat a dick.

Nah, it just supports general atrocities like child labour and slaves though.
