Thailand officially permits the sale of marijuana products containing less than 0.2 percent THC by recognized enterprises. At Anutin’s most recent medicinal marijuana conference at Sisaket Rajabhat University, the health minister reminded everyone that marijuana was delisted from the list of illegal substances in February, and that the 120-day waiting period that followed the delisting will end on June 9. According to reports, about 100,000 Thai patients are being treated with marijuana-based drugs. Farmers and business owners, according to Anutin, should research the plant’s economic potential and incorporate marijuana into their harvests and products. He wants marijuana to “relieve the economic hardship of the people.” He hasn’t said whether the amount of THC in marijuana grown at home can or should be regulated. His image continues to be broadcast on Thai news stations, and marijuana remains a popular topic in Thailand. His Bhumjaithai Party was elected to parliament with 51…
The proposed penalty for those who smoke cannabis and create “public disturbance” should be preceded by a warning to quit. If they do not comply, they may be sentenced to a month in prison, a fine of up to 2,000 baht, or both. The only prerequisite for legally cultivating cannabis at home as of June 9 is to download and register with the Plook Ganja smartphone app. Cannabis smoke is a “public nuisance,” according to Thailand’s Department of Public Health, and smoking it recreationally – at home or in public – is prohibited. Starting June 9, it will be legal to grow cannabis plants at home, but it will remain illegal to use cannabis recreationally. Growing cannabis at home is only for the aim of using the plant’s leaves or stalks in cooking or tea for therapeutic purposes, not to get high. THC percentages of less than 0.2 percent will…
Cannabis is now legal in Thailand and a number of other nations. Cannabis and the equipment needed to grow it are available for purchase online. However, each country’s rules vary, and non-specialists may still require authorization to cultivate it. If the cannabis is sold, a local government license is also required. The proliferation of Covid-19 has had a tremendous impact on the agricultural business around the world in recent years. People are using the internet as a new mechanism and instrument to grow the agricultural sector, facilitating the transition from a traditional farm to a contemporary one. As a result, each country’s government should promote modern agriculture through the use of the internet, often known as Internet Agriculture. The importance of the internet and financial support in the development of modern agriculture has been demonstrated. Those who want to grow medical marijuana face a major issue as a result of…
According to the Ministry of Public Health, three kinds of cannabis oil have been added to Thailand’s National List of Essential Medicines, or NLEM. Patients can now be prescribed cannabis oil by doctors from 893 government hospitals around the country. Thailand’s Minister of Public Health, Anutin Charnvirakul, claims that the country now has 1,173 marijuana clinics. Government hospitals may freely deliver cannabis extract oil to patients in specific instances, according to Thailand’s Government Pharmaceutical Organisation, or GPO. The psychoactive element in marijuana, tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is present in higher concentrations in the first form of cannabis oil. The second type has a larger concentration of CBD, or cannabidiol, a non-intoxicating chemical with therapeutic effects. The third solution, according to Dr Nathakan Suwanpiddokul, a GPO pharmacist, contains an equal amount of THC and CBD. The addition of cannabis oil to the NLEM will make the treatment significantly more accessible in Thailand…
The delisting of cannabis as a narcotic substance on Thursday opened the door to the release of more than 4,200 convicts serving sentences for cannabis offenses throughout the country.

Even if you use cannabis and hemp products and extracts legally at home, smoking them could lead to criminal charges because it is a public nuisance. People can file a public nuisance complaint against cannabis users or smoke manufacturers, who, if proved guilty, might face a three-month prison sentence and a fine of up to 25,000 baht. If the THC or CBD concentration is less than 0.2 percent, any part of the cannabis or hemp plant, including the leaves, stems, fibers, branches, seeds, inflorescences, and roots, can be used legally at home for medical purposes. For the time being, this means that getting high in Thailand is prohibited. Thailand’s Ministry of Public Health is trying to decriminalize cannabis use and possession, as well as the rules and protocols for correctly cultivating and using cannabis at home, known as Cannabis Literacy, in order to prevent drug misuse and enhance medical tourism…
More than 100,000 would-be cannabis producers have registered through the ‘Plook Ganja’ website and smartphone app, according to Thailand’s FDA. The Thai people wasted little time in registering to cultivate their own cannabis plants at home after cannabis was decriminalized on June 9. Download the ‘Plook Ganja’ (‘Grow Cannabis’) mobile app (available on IOS and Android) to register. The app has already been downloaded by over 50,000 users. Thai citizens do not require authorization to grow cannabis or hemp legally at home. The cannabis planter must specify whether they are producing the plant for personal use, treating someone else’s health concern, for household use, for use in the creation of other therapeutic items, or for commercial use during the registration procedure (this list is not exhaustive). They only need to notify the FDA that they want to grow cannabis in one of two ways. More than 3,000 cannabis inmates will…
Thailand’s tourism is evolving, with visitors arriving in small groups rather than large groups. All of this is down to the government’s decision to relax travel restrictions during the country’s peak season, which runs from March to May. The Thai government is praising itself for easing entry restrictions, which authorities claim has increased tourism in regions like Phuket and Koh Samui. The prime minister also urged Thais to maintain a positive tourism image in order to boost the country’s economy and create income. According to Thanakorn Wangboonkongchana, a government spokeswoman, up to 10,000 foreign passengers enter the nation each day, albeit the days of large tour groups are past — at least for the time being. He predicts that occupancy rates would rise to 60 to 80 percent, especially in popular areas like Patong Beach and Phuket Old Town. Meanwhile, many tourists flocked to Koh Samui and Koh Phang Ngan…
Residents of Chiang Mai hailed yesterday’s event as a success. The land and residences were returned to the Treasury Department by the Region 5 Appeal Court. Yesterday, the Department’s Director-General, Prapas Kong-Ied, received papers and house keys and paid a visit to the property. The Court had handed the contested property and housing project at the foot of Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai to the Treasury Department after nearly four years of waiting, demonstrations, and negotiations. 45 homes will be razed and land will be transformed for the “benefit of the occupants,” according to the Department’s Director-General. According to the cabinet meeting, moving officers from the remaining 9 condominiums in the vicinity to the new housing complex in Chiang Rai will take four months. Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha wanted to build new bungalows for court officials on the disputed 33-acre property, which was originally supposed to be a forest for…
