He ahiahi Sābati wela kēia ma ka mokupuni ʻo Koh Samui, a ʻo nā malihini i kahi hui kahakai nani e hoʻomaha ana ma nā sofa keʻokeʻo, e hōʻoluʻolu ana i loko o ka loko wai a inu i ka champagne makamae.
He mea weliweli ia ma Thailand, kahi i hoʻopaʻahao mau ʻia ai ka poʻe addict a hiki i kekahi mau mahina i hala.
I Iune, ua wehe ka ʻāina ʻo ʻAsia Hema i ka mea kanu mai kāna papa inoa lāʻau i pāpā ʻia i hiki i nā kānaka ke ulu, kūʻai aku a hoʻohana iā ia no nā kumu lāʻau lapaʻau.
Akā ʻaʻole i hoʻoholo ʻia ke kānāwai e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka leʻaleʻa e ka Pāremata, e waiho ana i kahi ʻāpana hina kānāwai e hakakā nei ka poʻe he nui mai ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi a hiki i nā "ʻoihana cannabis".
"He kiʻekiʻe ke koi no ka cannabis," wahi a ka mea nona ka Beach Club ʻo Carl Lamb, he kanaka haole Pelekane i noho ma Koh Samui no 25 mau makahiki a nona nā hale hoʻokipa.
Ua hoʻi hou nā hōkele o Thailand i ke ola ma hope o ka maʻi maʻi, akā e like me kā Mr Lamb, ʻo ka legalization o ka cannabis "ua hoʻololi i nā lula o ka pāʻani."
"ʻO ke kelepona mua i loaʻa iā mākou, ka leka uila mua i loaʻa iā mākou i kēlā me kēia lā, ʻo ia, 'He ʻoiaʻiʻo anei kēia?He kūpono paha ke kūʻai aku a puhi i ka mariuana ma Thailand?wahi āna.
Ma keʻano loea, hiki i ka puhi paka ma kahi ākea ke hopena i ʻekolu mahina i loko o ka hale paʻahao a i ʻole $1,000 uku, a i ʻole ʻelua.
"ʻO ka mua i hele mai nā mākaʻi iā mākou, ua hana mākou i ke aʻo ʻana i ke ʻano o ke kānāwai, a ua hoʻopaʻa wale lākou i ke kānāwai a ʻōlelo mai iā mākou no ia mea," wahi a Mr.
“A [ʻo ka mākaʻi i ʻōlelo] inā pilikia ia i kekahi, a laila e pani koke mākou iā ia ... Aloha mākou i kekahi ʻano hoʻoponopono.ʻAʻole mākou i manaʻo he ʻino.
"Ua like ia me ka Amsterdam hou," wahi a Carlos Oliver, he malihini Pelekane i ka hale hoʻokipa nāna i koho i kahi hui i mākaukau ʻia mai kahi pahu ʻeleʻele.
“Hele mai mākou i [Thailand] i ka wā ʻaʻole i loaʻa iā mākou ka mariuana, a laila hoʻokahi mahina ma hope o ko mākou huakaʻi, hiki ke kūʻai ʻia ka mauʻu ma nā wahi āpau - ma nā kaola, nā cafe, ma ke alanui.No laila ua puhi mākou a ua like ia, "Pehea ka ʻoluʻolu."ʻo kēia?He mea kupanaha kēia”.
ʻAʻole hiki ke manaʻoʻiʻo ʻo Kitty Chopaka ua ʻae ʻia ʻo ia e kūʻai aku i ka cannabis maoli a me nā lollipops ʻono cannabis i nā hale kūʻai waihoʻoluʻu ma ka wahi kiʻekiʻe o Sukhumvit.
"E ke Akua, ʻaʻole wau i manaʻo i loko o koʻu ola e hiki mai ana kēia," wahi a ka mea kākoʻo i ka mariuana.
Ua ʻae ʻo Ms Csopaka aia kekahi huikau mua ma waena o nā lāʻau lapaʻau hou a me nā mea kūʻai hoihoi ma hope o ka koi ʻana o ke aupuni no ka lāʻau lapaʻau a me ka therapeutic wale nō.
Pono e loaʻa i nā extracts cannabis ma lalo o 0.2 pakeneka o ka THC psychoactive, akā ʻaʻole i hoʻoponopono ʻia nā pua maloʻo.
ʻOiai ua pāpā nā kānāwai pōʻino o ka lehulehu i ka puhi paka ma nā wahi lehulehu, ʻaʻole lākou e pāpā i ka puhi paka ma ka waiwai pilikino.
"ʻAʻole au i manaʻo e kāpae ʻia kekahi mea ma Thailand ma mua o ka hoʻoholo ʻia ʻana o nā lula, akā eia hou, kāhāhā mau ka politika ma Thailand," wahi a Ms Shupaka.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i ke komite pāremata e pili ana i ka hoʻolālā ʻana i kahi kānāwai hou, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia i ka wā e hoʻopaʻapaʻa ai nā mea kuleana a me nā poʻe kālai'āina.
I kēia manawa, ma nā wahi o Bangkok, aia kahi ʻala ʻokoʻa i ka lewa e ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi ma mua o ka pad thai.
Loaʻa i nā wahi ola pō kaulana e like me ke alanui Khaosan kaulana i kēia manawa nā hale kūʻai cannabis o nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā nui.
ʻO Soranut Masayawanich, a i ʻole "beer" e like me kona ʻike ʻia, he mea hana huna a me ka mea hoʻolaha akā ua wehe i kahi lāʻau lapaʻau laikini ma ka wahi o Sukhumvit i ka lā i hoʻololi ʻia ai ke kānāwai.
Ke kipa aku ka poʻe nūpepa haole i kāna hale kūʻai, aia ke kahe mau o nā mea kūʻai aku i makemake i nā ʻano ʻono, waiwai a me nā ʻano ʻono like ʻole.
Hōʻike ʻia nā pua i loko o nā kīʻaha aniani like ʻole ma ka counter, a ʻo nā limahana Beer, a me ka sommelier, hāʻawi i ka ʻōlelo aʻo no ke koho ʻana i ka waina.
"Ua like ia me kaʻu moeʻuhane i kēlā me kēia lā e pono iaʻu ke kuʻi iaʻu iho," wahi a Beal.“He holo mālie a lanakila.Ke ulu nei ka ʻoihana. "
Ua hoʻomaka ʻo Beer i kahi ola ʻokoʻa loa ma ke ʻano he keiki keaka ma kekahi o nā sitcoms kaulana loa o Thailand, akā ma hope o ka hopu ʻia ʻana me ka mariuana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua hoʻopau ka stigma i kāna ʻoihana hana.
"ʻO ka manawa nui ia - maikaʻi ke kūʻai aku, ʻaʻohe o mākou hoʻokūkū, ʻaʻohe o mākou hoʻolimalima nui, hana wale mākou ma ke kelepona," wahi a Beal.
ʻAʻole ʻo ia ka manawa maikaʻi loa no nā mea a pau – ua mālama ʻia ka pia mai ka hale paʻahao, akā ua paʻa nā tausani o ka poʻe i hopu ʻia no ka mariuana ma nā hale paʻahao kaulana loa o Thailand.
Akā i ka makahiki 1970, i ka wā i hoʻomaka ai ʻo ʻAmelika i kāna "kaua ma luna o nā lāʻau lapaʻau", ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻo Thailand i ka cannabis ma ke ʻano he "papa 5" lāʻau me nā uku koʻikoʻi a me nā ʻōlelo paʻahao.
I ka wā i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ai ma Iune, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ma mua o 3,000 mau paʻahao a ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kā lākou mau manaʻo pili i ka marijuana.
Ua hoʻopaʻi ʻia ʻo Tossapon Marthmuang lāua ʻo Pirapat ʻē aʻenyongkij i ʻehiku a me ka hapa makahiki i loko o ka hale paʻahao no ka lawe ʻana i 355 kg o "mauu brick" ma ka ʻākau o Thailand.
I ka wā o ka hopu ʻia ʻana, hōʻike ka mākaʻi iā lākou i ka pāpā a paʻi kiʻi iā lākou me nā mea nui i hopu ʻia.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia lākou ma kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa loa - ke kali nei ka poʻe media ma waho o ka hale paʻahao no ka hopu ʻana i ka hui ʻohana hauʻoli, a ma laila nā poʻe kālai'āina e hoʻomaikaʻi aku, e hoʻāʻo ana e lanakila i nā balota i nā koho balota o kēia makahiki.
ʻO ke kuhina olakino o kēia manawa, ʻo Anutin Charnvirakul, ua hoʻololi i ka pāʻani ma ka hoʻohiki ʻana e hoʻihoʻi i nā mea kanu i nā lima o ka poʻe.
Ua ʻae ʻia ka lāʻau lapaʻau i hoʻopaʻa ʻia e ka mokuʻāina i loko o ʻehā mau makahiki, akā i ke koho balota hope loa ma 2019, ʻo ke kulekele o kāna ʻaoʻao ʻo ia ka hiki i nā kānaka ke ulu a hoʻohana i ka mea kanu i lāʻau lapaʻau ma ka home.
Ua lilo ke kulekele i mea lanakila koho balota - ʻo ka ʻaoʻao o Mr. Anutin, ʻo Bhumjaitai, ua puka mai ʻo ia ka lua o ka ʻaoʻao nui loa i ka hui aupuni.
"Manaʻo wau ʻo [marijuana] ka mea e kū nei, a kapa kekahi i koʻu pāʻina he pāʻina marijuana," wahi a Mr. Anutin.
"Ua hōʻike ʻia nā haʻawina āpau inā mākou e hoʻohana pono i ka lāʻau cannabis, e hana ia i nā manawa he nui ʻaʻole wale no ka loaʻa kālā, akā no ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ke olakino o ka poʻe."
Ua hoʻomaka ka ʻoihana lāʻau lapaʻau ma 2018 a ke ulu nei ma lalo o Anutin, ka mea e manaʻo nei e lawe mai i nā piliona kālā i ka ʻoihana Thai i nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.
"Hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa kālā mai kēlā me kēia ʻāpana o kēia kumulāʻau," wahi āna."No laila ʻo ka poʻe pōmaikaʻi mua ka poʻe mahiʻai a me ka poʻe e hana nei i ka mahiʻai."
Ua kaulana nā kaikuahine ʻo Jomkwan lāua ʻo Jomsuda Nirundorn no ka ulu ʻana i nā melons Iapana ma kā lākou mahiʻai ma ka hikina hikina o Thailand ma mua o ka hoʻololi ʻana i ka cannabis ʻehā makahiki i hala.
ʻO nā ʻōpio ʻelua "cannabis entrepreneurs" he extroverted a me ka ʻakaʻaka, hāʻawi mua i nā halemai kūloko me nā mea kanu CBD kiʻekiʻe a laila, i kēia mau lā, e hoʻopili ana i nā mea kanu THC no ka mākeke leʻaleʻa.
"E hoʻomaka ana me nā hua 612, pau lākou a pau, a laila hāʻule pū ka lua [puʻu]," wahi a Jomkwan, me ka ʻōwili ʻana i kona mau maka a ʻakaʻaka.
I loko o hoʻokahi makahiki, ua loaʻa iā lākou he $80,000 i nā kumukūʻai hoʻonohonoho a hoʻonui i ka ulu ʻana i ka cannabis ma 12 mau hale ʻōmaʻomaʻo me ke kōkua o 18 mau limahana manawa piha.
Ua hāʻawi aku ke aupuni Thai i 1 miliona mau mea kanu cannabis no ka manuahi i ka pule i ʻae ʻia, akā no ka mea mahiʻai laiki ʻo Pongsak Manithun, ua hiki koke mai ka moeʻuhane.
"Ua ho'āʻo mākou e ulu, kanu mākou i nā mea kanu, a laila i ka wā e ulu ai mākou i hoʻokomo i loko o ka lepo, akā ua maloʻo lākou a make," wahi a Mr. Pongsak.
Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia ʻaʻole kūpono ka wā wela ma Thailand a me ka lepo ma nā panalāʻau hikina o ka ʻāina no ka ulu ʻana i ka cannabis.
"Makemake ka poʻe me ke kālā e komo i ka hoʻokolohua… akā ʻaʻole ʻaʻa ka poʻe maʻamau e like me mākou e hoʻopukapuka kālā a lawe i kēlā ʻano pilikia," wahi āna.
"Ke makaʻu nei ka poʻe [i ka mariuana] no ka mea he lāʻau lapaʻau ia - makaʻu lākou e hoʻohana kā lākou keiki a moʻopuna paha a lilo i mea hoʻohui."
Nui ka poʻe e hopohopo nei no nā keiki.Ua hōʻike ʻia kahi koho balota ʻaʻole makemake ka hapa nui o Thais e ʻike i ka moʻomeheu marijuana.
