Health warning over use of illegal cannabis extracts

 

 

Thailand’s Office of the Narcotics Control Board and the Medical Science Department have warned against the use of illegal cannabis oil or drinks mixed with cannabis extracts because of their risks to health.

 

NCB secretary-general Niyom Termsrisook said yesterday that claims, by some unscrupulous people, that their cannabis oil or drinks containing CBD or THC can cure several diseases are untrue, adding that the CBD or THC compounds remain in the body for a longer period than other active substances and will pose health threats in the long run.

 

He said that four people, who had used the illegal cannabis products they bought from retailers in Phu Wiang district of the northern province of Nan, have been admitted to the district hospital for medical treatment after they developed heart palpitations or leg twitching.

And yes they got the CBD oil from the underground, that is what happens when you let growers who don't know what the hell they are doing... Dhu!

Morning coffee does that for me. Maybe it's ILLEGAL coffee.

It's entirely possible that they where not in fact consuming real cannabis products, but maybe synthetics. Synthetics have a whole world of problems attached to them. No clean cannabis product would induce that kinds of symptoms. Unless it is grown with all the wrong kind of chemical fertilizer and not washed out before harvesting.

Or real cannabis contaminated by pesticides.

 

Quite possible, even probable.
