Phitsanulok hospital opens ‘ganja clinic’

The new clinic offers its services every Wednesday and Friday from 8.30am to noon.

 

With the cautious introduction of marijuana-based medications at government hospitals, Buddha Chinnaraj Hospital in Phitsanulok has begun drawing interest from people including cancer sufferers with a dedicated clinic that opened on Thursday (August 22).

 

The clinic will offer its services every Wednesday and Friday from 8.30am to noon. 

 

People dealing with cancer have already said they welcome cannabis-based treatment as an alternative to the conventional drugs on offer and expressed hope that the formerly illegal potions might at least help ease their pain.

 

Buddha Chinnaraj Hospital deputy director Dr Wisit Sathianwanthanee said on Friday a large number of people had applied for treatment but only six or seven had been deemed medically suited to use cannabis.

 

He said applicants had to be carefully screened because the new concoctions are still in trial use and marijuana remains legally listed as an addictive narcotic.

 

Wisit said many ailing people using cannabis on their own as an “underground cure” had sought doctors’ advice at the new clinic, which he considers a good idea for their own safety.

 

The clinic can be reached at 089 568 1146 for information and consulting.

Great!
 

Let’s hope the scumbag police will follow the law instead of ignoring it like they are doing the digital license. 

While it's really important that the patients with severe pain, do get their relief.. I still think the pain in my lower back is getting worse and worse..

You sure know about hanging out in the right places.

This is the hospital where the nurse beat up a comatose 90 year old man, September of 2018. The video clip went viral, remember, heh. Maybe there is another reason this medical facility wants patients stoned to the toes, on cannabis.  

 

Visit at your own risk.

My dad smoked pot the last few months before he died of cancer, it helped him so much it was amazing.

No doubt, because of all those feigning illness just to get legally stoned, those of us living with the agony of a broken finger nail won't be able to get the treatment we so desperately need.

ganja for free for everybody who has to go to immigration

 

it is easier when they stick that broom up to your butt with their silly rules
