Australian and New Zealander Smoker's Lounge TEMPORARY thread.

[Teddybrae]

Well, from my mountain top far above the political world, I say ... I say ... I say ... fukit ... what was I going to say ... ?

Must be the 'Emperor's Bandana' I ate yesterday. It's a cross between Jack Herer and Headband. And with dinner in the evening there was also some Mango Haze.

Went to bed at 8 because I couldn't stand up any longer and when I fukn woke up for a pee ... it was 4 am! Howdya fukn be?!

So basically all I want to say to you Establishment bashers is that I 'll be sympathetic when you stop buying stuff at Coles and Bunnings.

Otherwise, like me, you're just a different part of the same problem.

Lennon said: You want a Revolution? OK. Lets get it on! (no?)

(Gaaa! Back you Bastards! Come any closer and I 'll get my Dick out ... ! Gaaa!)

seems what we choose to imbibe gives us some resistance to brainwashing ,
and the ability to think outside the box a little also ,
i guess that makes us a little dangerous ,
governments these days dont want too many free thinkers around ,
they might affect others and could become rebellious ..

 

[Donald Mallard]

hey teddy ,

put that thing away man .....



actually i dont buy anything at coles and rarely bunnings ,, hahaha ,,



i dont wanna tear things down

but i know they can work a lot better than they are ,
as i said somewhere else ,
im a bit sick of one party spending time and public money building something great ,
just to have the other one tear it down and make something else ,
if we could actually agree on shit we can move in a forward direction ...



having said that , id gladly take a baseball bat to the current folk running the establishment ... lol ...

 

[Pumpkin]

So Donald, where the fuck are ya moving? I've been resisting the temptation to ask, but it got the better of me.

 

[Donald Mallard]

Was thinking of going to thailand pumpkin ,
out near the Laos border ,
i have extended family there ,
and a job if i want one , well 2 potential jobs without even trying ,



just gotta deal with a court case and the consequences first ,
then see if i can come up with the visa requirements ,
i had a bit of a look at and it doesnt look that hard ,
be cool to at least spend a few years somewhere like that ...



the taxi driver said they have a buffalo government currently ,
those taxi drivers are very political it seems ,
i told him i dont think he knows what a buffalo government is ,
compared to ours , thailand are not doing that badly ,

although having said that i noted my friends dad swearing at the tv quite a lot during news time ,, lol ...

 

[Donald Mallard]

for instance ,

check this out , could you see our pm doing this ??

Thailand is not looking like a ganja paradise .

CBD aka MMJ only . And you can only sell it to the un elected military government .

 

[Pumpkin]

Yeah, Thailand is pretty sweet. As Elmer said, the laws are not looking amazing for weed though. I might end up retiring in SE Asia at some point though, but can't imagine working there, unless as just a fun thing to.

Portugal probably has the most sensible drug laws at the moment.

But best to go somewhere the aussi dollar stretches as far as possible.

Good luck with the court case. Hopefully it is nothing serious.

 

[Pumpkin]

Haha... That link is fucking cool though

 

[Donald Mallard]

still shits on what we have currently though ,,

only corporations get a look in here ,


id say they will relax things on other erb before we are likely too also ,
im not using it as a reason to go , just a bonus ,
anyhow laos is right next door , and cambodia not far down the road ,
so yea beats the shit out of living here still ...

 

[Pumpkin]

I wonder how much the government in Thailand will actually pay for the 6 plants. I imagine not very much. Not poo pooing it, just curious.

But sure, def better than the lay of the law here that favours corporations above individuals.

I got my peace and quiet and you gotta make do with what you got I guess.

Weird how it happened in the states. Interesting to see the money machine commercialise it. But still think their laws will be a lot better than what we get here. We'll get some conservative arse bullshit like proposed in the ACT. Ah well.

seems like a few variables ,
but this is what i found on how much potential income one can generate ,

Anutin has proposed allowing each household to grow six plants, with each plant potentially generating 70,000 baht (US$2,240). State agencies would buy the plants from the families, giving each a windfall of 420,000 baht, a sizeable sum in poor rural areas of Thailand


imagine a country that considers poor people where making money is concerned ,
they hate that here ,

its a case of serves you right for not being born in a rich family and its your fault ,,

no cottage industries being set up to help anyone in dire straights at all ....

 

[Pumpkin]

That is actually very good money! Not bad at all. I might also be moving sooner than I thought lol.

How many households can I have again

 

[Pumpkin]

Hope it works out for them anyway. Would be great if it does.

 

[Donald Mallard]

better than i expected actually pumpkin,
it gives an indication of how expensive the medicinal cannabis is going to be though,
not cheap at all ,
always thought when things went legal they became cheaper ,
but so far im noticing the opposite can be true also ,, lol ....

Jeez that MMJ must be expensive !
Each plant potentially $2000 [that is $125 an ounce or more on the plant .]

Then it has to be processes ed into oil .

Laos weed is about $40 or less per ounce .

Talking about privilege in Australia and Thailand . You realise Thailand have their own monarchy .
And that the Thai King is the richest in the world ? He certainly aint sharing it around ...

No government pensions in Thailand . Only insurance . Don`t pay insurance and no pension . They have a crisis coming so many people over 60 with no income and no government money to take care of them . Rice farming is no longer viable = millions unemployed .
So a new idea get the oldies to grow hemp and we`ll sell that for a profit and trickle down a little to help feed them .

 

[Donald Mallard]

laos weed isnt cbd weed though is it eb ??



though they are producing cbd oil in laos and importing to thailand ,
not sure on the quality of the product , but the packaging looked very professional ,
medicine is expensive i guess , im also surprised ,
and i didnt guess at the prices , i copied it , so no need to argue with me over it ...



you assuming they will get a specific yield from each plant , maybe your wrong with your guess , who knows ....



if you look at statistics , old folks in australia relying on the pension are not doing too good either on the whole,

way down from most of the rest of the developed countries ,


for a developed country we are a ways behind on many things in fact ,
look a the dole you get for instance , how long since you ve had a pay rise ??



i bet you d have to work to get money in thailand too no hand outs to folks who wont get a job ...

 

[Pumpkin]

It's 3350aud a plant. 20k for 6. When something seems too good to be true, it normally is. Surely everyone will try to grow some at those prices. I'm not being super optimistic here, but it just doesn't seem sustainable.

I'd like to be wrong though. You could potentially get by on 20k AUD a year in Thailand with no other income. With a legal job that requires almost zero work.

 

[Donald Mallard]

yea i feel the same pumkin ,
i wouldnt want to bank on it thats for sure ...



i hope some folks that need it can do well from it though ...

 

[Elmer Bud]

The idea that medicine could be grown under no regulation .
Collected from multitude different environments then mixed back together .

No pesticides , no heavy metals , no mold . Can get away with that in the black market .
Try going legit and you will get sued .

Then there would be all the thievery .
You have 10 grand in your garden .
