Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital has announced that its medical cannabis clinic, which opened on Monday, will not accept any more patients as the clinic had reached its limit.

 

The hospital, renowned for traditional medicine based treatment, was endorsed by the Public Health Ministry to distribute medical cannabis to patients as part of the ministry’s effort to come up with a medical cannabis model for hospitals nationwide.

 

It started to distribute cannabinoid to patients with epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease on Monday and around 10 patients were screened and selected based on the severity of their symptoms. 

 

The hospital followed the guideline for special cases laid by the Food and Drug Administration and the amended Narcotics Drugs law.

 

“I hope it would be the beginning of our medical cannabis treatment which would also be equipped with systematic follow-ups,“ said Dr Namphol Danphipat, the hospital’s director.

 

As a model, Abhaibhubejhr would also explore growing marijuana to achieve the best breeds as well as medical extraction, expertise the hospital has long built up and well known.

 

Cannabis is known to respond to different diseases so it remains an area for medical practitioners to explore.

 

So far, it is widely accepted that it is responsive to epilepsy and Parkinson's, as well as neuropathic pain and pain relief for the fourth stage of cancers.

 

The hospital is working on extracting implicated marijuana provided by the Office of Narcotics Control Board so that it can acquire more cannabinoid, this time for pain relief of cancer following the high THC concentration responding to the disease.

 

This can be expected within two months, said Dr Supaporn Pitiporn, chair of the Strategic Thai Herbal and Traditional Medicine at the hospital, a Thai traditional medicine pioneer.

 

The hospital is also experimenting with growing marijuana in a closed system as well as some other methods in an attempt to find the best practice for growth. It plans to distribute the knowledge with standard sets for planters nationwide.

 

“During the past few months that we have taken cannabis back to our medical area, I can also see efforts that everyone involved have invested in order for cannabis to resettle in our culture and start to move forward again. 

 

“Cannabis has long been with Thai society and we are part of bringing all scattered parts of it back for use and will be part of distributing and sharing knowledge to the society,” said Supaporn.

So enough supplies for 10 patients..... pathetic.

They might be in for a long wait then.Why not in the mean time just adopt some of the best pratice for grow used around the world already.I'm sure even I could set some thing up in a few days with plenty of fluros a few tubs and air pump and a cupboard.

So if you're at the top of the list, you're pretty high already, even before seeing the doctor.

To be more precisely, 16 plants in two modified container where people work who look like they are on a journey into space.

Absolutely pathetic. It's waste of money and just show off presence and raising the budget sky high to feed all the dark channels.

Same as with that toy room growing setup of the GPO. Millions of Baht wasted what in the western world could have been a growing facility with 1000 plants not 100.
Starts with the setup already, aeroponics and led lights.
Google and see how many commercial farms are growing with these methods. Zero.
Thai authorities have, like so often, absolutely no clue and refusing the help of foreign consultants.
Of course when there is a paid trip to overseas they'll take this opportunity for sightseeing and shopping but knowledge transfer or application, I can't see that.

Of course Thailand talks about marijuana like they are some kind of pioneer leading the way. Fools. Why not talk with doctors and scientists from the west who have based their whole lives around the magical plant and have decades of knowledge on it?

 

I’m not sure why Thailand is so prideful. What’s the reason for this? Because they were allies with the losing Japanese that was obliterated by the most advanced and superior weaponry known to man?

 

what have thai people innovated? What have the brought to the world? Or even to Thai people for that matter? All I can think of is RedBull. The energy needed for slave foreign slave workers to build this country.

 

Send your research teams to Amsterdam, Canada, and the USA and outweigh the pros and cons of legalizing this “drug”.

Why can't they just use the studies of other countries who already have studied and passed  pot studies. Thailand, always trying to re-invent the wheel.

Surely you have scientific evidence and data to back your studies on this matter?
