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.

    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”
