Thailand Cannabis Marketplace is accepting Applications

The Cannabis industry in Thailand has seen a lot of exciting developments during the last few weeks. The Department of Thai Traditional and Complementary Medicine has already begun issuing licenses for retail, export to other countries, and conducting medical research. The number of people who have registered to grow cannabis in Thailand on the PlookGanja website, which is managed by the FDA, has already topped one million. On top of all of that, the OG company has begun operating an online Cannabis Marketplace. The marketplace serves as an online platform where buyers and sellers may have direct access with one another. Keep in mind that there have already been tens of thousands of application requests submitted, and the OG company is moving as fast as it can to approve application requests (sellers need the required registration number from PlookGanja). Customers will benefit by OG company ensuring quality, and well as…

Thailand’s new cannabis law seeks to draw clearer boundaries

Among the organizations with which you can register to grow the plants are hospitals, medical professionals, dentists, practitioners of Thai traditional medicine, practitioners of applied Thai traditional medicine, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, government organizations, the Thai Red Cross Society, and animal hospitals. According to a spokeswoman for a House committee, the most recent change to the cannabis and hemp legislation will soon be reevaluated. For those who want to produce or sell cannabis plants, Parnthep Pourpongpan went into detail about the new laws. Some contend that the use and sale of hemp and cannabis are too fraught with uncertainty. Small-scale cannabis cultivators run the possibility of receiving a $100,000 fine or serving a year in jail. The penalty for large-scale farmers who own more than 5 rai is three years in prison and/or a 300,000 baht fine. Cannabis exporters risk up to five years in prison and/or a fine…

Thai policy influences Malaysia’s medical cannabis law

Anutin Charnvirakul, the minister of public health of Thailand, and the minister of public health of Malaysia are scheduled to meet to discuss Thailand’s process for legalizing medical marijuana. Recently, Anutin met with the Thai ambassador to Malaysia to discuss the future tour of his counterpart. Similar regulations to those Thailand adopted to permit the use of cannabis for medical purposes in that nation are currently being considered in Malaysia. Anutin’s party had fought for the legalization of cannabis but then withdrew its support, claiming that they had only only intended it for medical purposes. Cannabis consumption in public and in settings where it shouldn’t be ingested is eventually subject to limitations and laws. This week, new regulations are anticipated to be ratified by the parliament and then submitted for royal assent. Patients can now rely on cannabis treatment with confidence, and medical professionals can publicly prescribe cannabis-based medications. Although…

On Khao San Road, marijuana is prohibited; authorities call for enforcement

The mishmash of yes and no regarding the handling and prosecution of cannabis is to put it mildly bewildering, despite the fact that roughly a million people have now been granted licenses to sell cannabis. Smoking in public can also be penalized as a nuisance. Anutin Charnvirakul, the minister of public health, has called for the arrest of marijuana dealers on Khao San Road after his political party lobbied for its legalization and later complained that they had expected everyone would only consume it for medicinal grounds. Wasan Boonmuenwai, the district head of Phra Nakhon, has asked police to pursue anyone who sells marijuana on Khao San Road in Bangkok, making it clear that sellers there are not permitted to lawfully sell the drug. The poster allegedly smoked cannabis on a tourist street and ended up getting quite unwell, according to accounts on social media, she added. Four of the…

Internet users criticize a cannabis company for promoting usage by minors

This Machine Is Green was a photograph of a marijuana vending machine in Bangkok that was posted on Twitter by a Thai user called C.Veasarach on Saturday. The caption read, “Here it is… This vending machine is in response to the new marijuana law. The device provides resources for using cannabis. Who will check it if they ask clients to present their ID cards before making a purchase? Does the machine have a reader for ID cards? Since I’ve never purchased it before, I really want to know. On the machine, there are a few warnings that read, “Prescription: Do not sell to persons under the age of 20.” (Please show your ID card every time before buying). Don’t market to expectant or nursing mothers. Cannabis is only used for medical purposes, and smoking it in public is against the law, punishable by up to three months in jail and…

While it lasted, a new resolution banning cannabis cigarettes was amusing #2

The National Tobacco Products Control Committee proposed the resolution, which would outlaw the sale of cannabis-infused traditional cigarettes, cigars, and joints in addition to electronic cigarettes and vapes. The ban would severely curtail the recreational use of cannabis, which has become widespread due to the one million people who have obtained licenses to cultivate, trade, or consume the plant, as well as the proliferation of shops and stands selling joints and other cannabis products across the nation, particularly in tourist hotspots. Last month, Thailand decriminalized cannabis cultivation, sales, possession, and use, with very little guidelines or procedures in place to govern the newly authorized narcotic. Anutin added a statement to emphasize that the government and the Ministry of Public Health have always opposed cannabis use for recreational purposes and that the concept was never specifically addressed in the original draft bill that resulted in the drug’s decriminalization. Anutin Charnvirakul, the…

The Thai Pharmacy Council calls on the government to restrict marijuana usage outside of medical settings and to end unfettered planting and growing

According to council president Supanai Prasertsuk, the Pharmacy Council has continuously supported the decriminalization of cannabis and hemp for medical purposes. Government protections and controls are inadequate, resulting in documented recreational planting usage and abuse after it was deemed legal, which regularly confuses the general public. The Council, which claimed to have worked closely with the populace, requested that the government move forward with the suspension of free marijuana planting without proper controls because the current policies are not being implemented effectively and because the distribution of cannabis flowers to the general public must be legalized, written with clear distribution locations, limited quantities, and groups of people who co-operate. Stop organizing leisure activities that can cause misunderstandings and any campaigns that are aimed at children, vulnerable groups, or the sick. The Pharmacy Council of Thailand demanded that the government control marijuana usage for non-medical purposes and stop free marijuana planting…

Pattaya wants to implement its own local marijuana regulation laws

Deputy Mayor Thitiphan Phettrakul of Pattaya presided over a meeting on Friday to talk about the laws and guidelines required to restrict and forbid the use of cannabis and hemp, particularly in educational settings. The deputy mayor suggested that regulations may stipulate that food containing cannabis cannot be served in schools or that cannabis use is only permitted with a prescription from a physician. Although it is currently against the law to sell cannabis to kids, Pattaya’s deputy mayor wants more to be done to keep schoolchildren from having access to the once-illegal narcotic. The city council of Pattaya will schedule a meeting with representatives from the schools to develop cannabis prevention strategies. Cannabis smoke, which is regarded as a “public nuisance,” is the sole aspect of cannabis usage in public that is currently governed by law. Someone who is bothered by cannabis smoke may report the offender, who may…

Numerous people have already received approval to cultivate marijuana

The Food and Drug Administration declared that more than 980,000 people have signed up for the ability to grow marijuana plants as part of its Plook Ganja mobile app initiative. Given that a Thai ID number is needed to register, it appears that only Thai citizens and not foreigners residing in Thailand are permitted to register and legally produce cannabis. And that might only be the start. Since the decriminalization of cannabis and hemp on June 9 and the release of the Plook Ganja mobile app, which enables users to register online, the FDA reported on Saturday morning that precisely 983,557 people have used the app to register to grow cannabis on their property, despite the fact that authorities are still working to enact legislation in response to the surge in interest. If you’ve been puzzling over the recent decriminalization of marijuana in Thailand, you’re probably not one of the…
