Sweets, consumer products with THC become hot topic 

By The Nation

 

 

After a famous Thai actor was widely reported to have allegedly given a certain type of candy containing marijuana extract that causes dizziness and irregular heartbeat to a girl, sweets or other consumer products with THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) have become a hot topic on social media.

 

THC has psychoactive properties that help in relaxation and reduce stress if they are taken in the right amount, but can be dangerous if consumed in exceeding doses. The side effects of THC include a dry mouth, thirst, tachycardia, slow response, red eyes and memory loss.

 

The substance is popular in foreign countries, where it is mixed in snacks such as jelly, candy and chocolate in safe amounts.

 

Sweets with marijuana extract are legal in some countries but still considered illegal in Thailand. However, they can be prevalent among teenagers, since consuming such products can put youth in a psychedelic state.

 

Office of Narcotics Control Board secretary-general Niyom Termsrisuk said the use of marijuana as a food ingredient or cosmeceutical is prohibited in Thailand, but most products containing THC found in candies, cookies, chocolate, cigarettes, hair creams and most skincare products were made in countries where the substance is legal and the packaging or label normally states that the product contains THC or CBD, a hemp extract.

 

Though marijuana is still considered a drug in Thailand, laws have recently allowed the use of cannabis, but only for medical benefit and research studies.

 

The import, possession or use of marijuana-containing products in any form is not allowed by the Food and Drug Administration, and offenders can be found in violation of the law.

In other words...STONED

 

"..since consuming such products can put youth in a psychedelic state." They must have some high quality 'products' or just be weak and nimble people.

Genie is out of the bottle now, almost nobody believes anti marijuana propaganda anymore. People that have common sense don't have issues, but when fools don't exercise good judgement consequences can happen leading to an unpleasant experience. Fortunately, unlike every other drug including alcohol, you can not fatally overdose.

Legalize it now for recreational use !

That would mean less crazed people cutting others to pieces with swords etc , people becoming more friendly and relaxed and additional income will be provided for the poor , a lot more tourists who will enjoy more of the beautiful sunsets on the beach or elsewhere ...

Give a daily free dose to all government workers and the big bosses , too . That would make them less paranoid about farangs who come here to retire and spend money , only to enjoy a good life .

I do not see much on the downside , but a lot of things will become better by completely legalizing it .

Btw , it makes a good ingredient not only in sweets , but also a nice ganja tea , or some Tom Yum , no need to smoke it ...
