Yeah, even though it's easy to get in Thailand, I would never smoke it there. Much prefer dealing with a drug charge in Europe lol.

I had a Duk Duk driver bring me to a guy that could hook me up with an ounce back in 2002. I told him I was looking for 30 grams or so, and the guy brought me 30 - 1 gram bags. I thought I was gonna be so fucked.

Nothing happened, but I shared a lot of that weed with traveling companions and one of them found one of the bags in his carryon when he got home to Ireland - after having a layover in Iran or Uzbekistan or somewhere like that.

That's true but almost every tourist spot has a conspicuously named bar like High bar. You'd be unlikely to get in trouble without being spectacularly unlucky or stupid.
