Thailand’s new government is moving ahead to pass new legisalation banning cannabis for recreational use in a major reversal 18 months after the country became the first in Asia to decriminalize the plant.

The relaxed laws saw a lucrative cannabis industry catering to locals and foreigners alike boom across the Southeast Asian nation, but a new conservative coalition government came to power late last year vowing to tighten the rules and only allow medical use.

A draft bill was released on Tuesday by Thailand’s health ministry outlining hefty fines or prison sentences of up to one year for offenders – or both.

            I didn’t.

            Earlier today some chick was a bitch and I thought it about her, so while it can be homophobic, it is not exclusively homophobic.

            It’s been deleted now but I don’t recall anything about the either person mentioning whether or not they were a man.

            It’s an idiom that means ‘go away forever’, but with malice (possibly extreme malice). It was pretty common at some point in the last 20 years, and wasn’t really used in a homophobic way. It was more of an, “I hope you get raped to death,” vibe.

            ‘Eat a dick’ is usually followed by ‘and die’.

            But, it’s an older one, and these days it basically means, “go the fuck away”

          So what’s wrong with eating a dick?

          Is oral sex performed on men a bad thing for a person to engage in?

            I am not the guy who said it and I don’t remember his exact phrasing.

            Eat a dick can be homophonic but is not only homophonic.

              What is the none homophobic usage for telling someone to eat a dick?

                I can answer that, earlier today some chick was being a bitch, and I thought man she can eat a dick.

                    Are you trying to move the goalposts away from homophobia here?

                    Yes sucking a dick is a fine thing, eat a dick means they need to shut up and fuck off.

                    Of course it isn’t appropriate, neither is any type of cursing.
