April 24, 20205 yr Popular Post This license will be for; 1st January 2021 and there will be 800 issued this year. Yes, there will a cost for the license, but we do not have that info yet. The info we do have is that you will be able to grow on 10 rai of land, but it looks like all the growing must be in a Greenhouse environment (Hightech). A big conference is being worked on for the 800 groups who get the licnese, some time at the end of the year. The conference will have top experts from America, Canada, Australia and Israel. Some license have already been issued to, well I can't say at this time who got them... but we all know how that works! This also means a lot of work for Thailand, to build the greenhouse and to maintain the crops. Again, this is for Medical. More info to come...
April 24, 20205 yr Can I ask where you got the information that they will Issue 800 licences for growing medical cannabis? Is it a secret source or something publicly announced? I might have missed it but I know some of the people on the approvals committee and I sell organic fertilizers and have done soil and media testing for several groups that are trying to get a licence, and for a very few that already have licences. But I haven't talked with them for a few days. What one member on the approvals committee told me is that the licence cost is 3 million baht for 150 cannabis plants. One license that already has been approved and that have delivered its first crop for free to the hospital on their MOU has a licence for 1200 plants. Which is larger than most will get. And their whole operation including nursery is much smaller than 10 rai. Or are you talking Hemp with THC around 0.1%?
April 25, 20205 yr Popular Post Must be grown in an expensive greenhouse environment sounds like it's set up for the rich to get richer from labour of the poor.Good luck with that.Any news on the poor farmers being able to grow it as promised?

I highly suspected this is how it would go. If your in the loop up the big end of town your already got a number on the list of people to get a licence. How do you say "It's a foregone conclusion" in Thai? It's OK, I know what it is, I just can't spell it!

April 25, 20205 yr This is all very interesting. Is this already public information? Currently the Thai National Farmers Council is growing an outdoor crop hopefully they will have some influence over where and how the plant is grown. I've also heard foreigners will be able to own 33% of cannabis companies in Thailand. Is there any truth to that? Thanks for the info. Keep us updated

I literally think I have probably found the best cannabis in Thailand! I usually buy 5 bottles a pop and it’s much better than the stuff they sold me a year ago it’s improved a lot. If this is being imported legally can you tell us where you get your medicine?

April 25, 20205 yr Popular Post My forecast: It'll be like exotic timber in Thailand. Anyone can grow it, but you'll need a special permit to buy it, sell it, and transport it. And, just like Thai timber, that's where the money will be made. The farmers will get a pittance. The Elite isn't going to let this opportunity get <deleted> away on 800 entities when they can keep the money in the dozen or so families that control the country.

The Thai National Farmers Council is trying to grow cannabis, one of the biggest problems the Thai's are having is that they do not have any Master Growers work or teaching them how to grow the right way. Some of the problems has been growing in soil with high levels of heavy metals, bugs, unsafe pesticides, using the right lights, building the right greenhouses, water, more bugs... well I can go on and on, but I will leave it here. I have been told by Thai's that they have the best cannabis and hemp in the world right here in Thailand... lol

I'm told (by Canadians) they produce the worst product available, and all the Canadians prefer to buy black market from home grows. There's many news stories about Canadian dispensaries going broke because they're only allowed to sell products nobody wants to buy.

Extremely unlikely as it's not the right time to grow outdoor in Thailand. The monsoon will flatten any crop, the daylight/nighttime periods are all wrong for flowering cannabis. October/November would be the right time to plant your seedlings/clones outside.

The farmers council are just finishing up their harvest now on a crop planted dec. 21 last year. they plan on bringing plants back outside by mid October. they managed to have an amazing organic grow. no real problems with pests, mold or heavy metal as suggested in an earlier post. they have many qualified master growers, both Thai and foreign, and they are opening a full master grower certification program starting in mid july. these are the guys that are going to pave the way for outdoor growing
April 26, 20205 yr the greenhouses are not necessarily expensive. we have set up multiple greenhouses for 200-400k. the expensive part really comes with the security systems that the Thai FDA requires. the wall and the CCTV system ends up costing more than the grow.

It'll fail, and I can tell you why it'll fail. It hasn't worked in Canada, everything is controlled by big business and it's over-taxed and over-regulated, not to mention the product isn't that good. Repeat in Thailand, but with many more officials looking for handouts, and the laziest, most stupid staff you can imagine.

I have been told by Thai's that they have the best cannabis and hemp in the world right here in Thailand... lol I'm sorry but your sadly misinformed on this, They actually have several Master growers (both Thai and Farang) and the plot they grow on has been under organic operation for over 25 years and had zero heavy metals, no residuals of any harmful pesticides or fungicides. I know this because i'm the one who tested their soils and their potting medium they use in the greenhouse. Nor do they use any unsafe pesticides. We supplied most of the organic nutrients for their grow except for some things like wormcastings, woodvinegar and the compostteas that their mastergrowers with team produces themself. Not only that their first harvest was donated for free for the Hospital that they supply. Not a bad first harvest either I might say. The only issue they had with their soils was some elements were out of balance and had some deficiencies but its in the top 5 of all soils I have tested in Thailand and 1 out of 32 that was free of any heavy metals, (yes I have a database where I store all the soil data). last year we tested about 150 farms.

Yeah, I'm not convinced anyone attempting an organic commercial grow is anything apart from a hobby farmer. I have no problems with modern chemical fertilisers, pesticides or fungicides. Organic is a food fad for middle class folk with money to burn.

Do you have any idea what a master grow is? And how long it takes to become a master grow? I have a certification program with SSRU, and that is a one month program to just understand growing cannabis. But to become a master grower take years and years and more years. I have over 40 years as master grower, and I am still leaning. Right now I know 4 of the top master growers in Thailand,

You would be happy to know Our largest hobby farmer here in Thailand operates over 3000 rai. We actually have something around 270.000rai of hobby farmers as customers. And my family has been running a 1.800 rai hobby farm back home since 1984. With hobby cows, hobby chicken and hobby pigs. It's a good hobby. And we sell up to 3000 tons of hobby products every month. Even companies like PepsiCo ask us for our advice now as we have expertise in hobby farming and helped one of their hobby contractors to double their yield in 1 year. Actually we have so many hobby success stories where we have increased yields for hobby farmers with hobby practices. We use science based methods with hobby inputs but our system can be done with chemicals also if things like most fungicides, urea and most same value NPK type fertilizers are excluded. ????

I love science based methods, that is why I have been working with Quantum biology with one Professor from one University in Florida, and one Professor from a different University with a new light system using far red. Also I think Dave Rockwood is on the right track with Agrisource. If you are not up on the new science of what is going on in the world, you will be left behind as a cannabis grower...

Agreed love science based methods, I'm not familiar with Dave Rockwoods work specifically but I see they have solutions for data-driven agriculture.
