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…
