This week we crossed the 2000 member mark for the sub. The growth has been amazing and hopefully this is just the beginning.The results are in and it looks like people prefer smoking weed over other forms of ingestion. 50% of people said they prefer smoking. 20% prefer edibles, 17% prefer dry herb vaping, 11% prefer vaping liquids/oils, and only two people preferred tinctures.Unfortunately, this week's poll ended early because I messed up setting the end date. So, if you don't visit the sub much, you probably already missed it.The poll was which do you prefer, an Indica, a Sativa, or a nice Hybrid.28% said they'll smoke whatever is available with Sativa taking 22% of the vote and Indica taking 17% of the vote. I guess that's good news for me because I prefer an Indica. :-)Interestingly, if the Sativa and Sativa Dominant Hybrid options are combined, and the Indica and Indica Dominant Hybrid are combined, things got a lot closer with Indica/Indica Hybrid taking 35.2% of the vote and Sativa/Sativa Hybrid coming in at 36.5%.We should probably read it as good news that media attention is becoming less focused on cannabis at the moment. It seems to be becoming more accepted that legalization is a done deal and there are less headlines to grab by coming out against it.That said there was still some minor fearmongering this week with Thailand's top psychiatrist expressing concerns about mental health and some Thai researchers waking up and realizing that driving while high could be problematic.In both cases, it does seem rather odd that the critiques are concerned about hypothetical problems when both mental health access and road fatalities are problems that have been around for several decades which nobody seems to care much about.Despite all of the hand wringing, I did find the following video below about Thai attitudes on cannabis legalization educational. That’s it for this week.u/CannabisThilandMod
