E-Ganja Is Highly Popular Among Chiang Mai Teens And Government Officials
(CTN News) – Chiang Mai’s e-ganja vendors reveal that wealthy teenagers or government officials are their best customers. E-ganja, like e-cigarettes, is a portable electronic device that simulates smoking. Unlike e-cigarettes, the e-ganja electronic device contains cannabis oil instead of tobacco. E-ganja electronic devices, unlike conventional cigarettes , do not emit any odor or smoke, which is one of their advantages. Most smokers buy e-ganja online, and it costs about 3,000 baht. Despite not wanting to be named, a 22-year-old woman admitted she and friends regularly use e-ganja. “E-ganja can be used for two to three weeks after charging. It doesn’t produce smoke or smell, so it won’t bother others. “ E-ganja became more popular because many people are allergic to bongs or ground cannabis wrapped in paper.

China’s ‘Zero-Covid’ Fiasco Will Give Dollar Rally New Life
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin People betting that the U.S. dollar’s slide will continue might want to pay more attention to what’s afoot in Asia. Or, perhaps more to the point, what’s not afoot here. Take China, where officials have been hinting all year about a pivot away from giant growth-killing “ zero Covid ” lockdowns. Myriad times, chatter about a more “dynamic” approach prioritizing vaccinations and testing over shutting down major metropolises excited investors. Then, new lockdowns ended the party. This pattern played out again this week in Hainan , an island province dependent on tourism. And for investors, it was a reminder that the forces behind the near-zero growth China produced in the April-June quarter—just 0.4% year-on-year—might not be an aberration. Odds are, the People’s Bank of China will remain in supporting-growth mode. Asia’s biggest economy, remember, has a bit of a property crisis on its hands. The strains that saw … [Read more...] about China’s ‘Zero-Covid’ Fiasco Will Give Dollar Rally New Life
