Medical marijuana will be available in Thailand nine months from now, a top health official announced Tuesday.

 

After the cabinet moved to legalize the use of medical cannabis, Sophon Mekthon of the Public Health Ministry said the law will come into effect April 2019.

Maybe just in time for an election !

I feel my glaucoma acting up in nine months time...

 

maybe go in with tremors from drinking, and kill two birds with one sto ne(ing).  Hopefully, they can come up with more than the moldy brown Shiite that wouldn't sell in many prisons.

Thailand’s own studies confirmed that marijuana can be used to treat three illnesses, namely nausea and loss of appetite for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy, epilepsy in children and multiple sclerosis.

 

"Thailand's own studies" show medical marijuana can treat the same three afflictions that multiple North American studies show medical marijuana can treat. What a co-incidence! 

Quite fitting hat and tshirts,also how the hill tribe are the growers as they've had many years of experience.no doubt they will be slipping some proper ones in here and there.nothing to get excited about though as it's only for medical use.industrial grade sounds really heavy stuff to me.

Whoopee!

ONLY for Thai people..is my guess...

Like the t-shirt in the OP. 

This is an opportunity for Thailand to change from drinking and prostitution to beautiful beaches and blunts. How many negative stories do you hear about from Amsterdam, Colorado, Washington, and California?

Oregon, Nevada, New Hampshire, Vermont, Alaska and Canada, Portugal and several others where they won't even raise an eyebrow if you partake.



 

Does MC has to be from a Thai GP? Can I bring my Prescription /MC from my UK  GP??

Yes I would like a list of the ailments it can be used to cure.  I must have one.

The law becomes effective in April, 2019 -- 420 anyone?

 

Better stock up on Doritos.

Why so smug?  Evidently you don't know that the international medical community encourages multiple, redundant medical studies on a particular new drug in multiple countries -- and these multiple studies are "required" by the countries' FDAs before they will approve the drug for medical use.

Guess again. Non-Thai people in Thailand can buy and use any and all pharmaceutical drugs that are legally available to the Thais. This includes opioids like codeine - which is extracted from opium -- and is readily available in Thai hospitals and pharmacies.

Good to be old soon ❤️

Have you watched Highland on Netflix ?

 

 

I just hope they allow the real Mcoy, not the crap that's sold in the UK as cannabis oil at £50 a bottle. Given that it takes around £3000 worth of quality CBD/THC balanced weed to make a months supply of oil - I really can't see growers feeling so benevolent that they are prepared to lose £2950 a pop.

 

The stuff sold by the NHS for MS pain control etc. is OK for that purpose but very little else.
