Thailand to allow people to grow cannabis at home - pilot project begins in January

[patman30]

why do they need this pilot
to see if it can be grown outdoors ?
when it has been grown outdoors here for like forever......

last time they gave people licenses that were valid only for 90 days
then went and busted them a few days after license expired just before harvest

why not just change the law, decriminalize weed
and OPEN THE BORDERS
no silly entry requirements
people will quickly come and stay as long as possible

It will be very interesting to see which "special families" are allowed to grow it, and what percentage of the Thai population will never be considered a "special family?"

the same special families that have been growing it for decades
they are just now looking for a way to do it legally to avoid prosecution
Tech has advanced to far to keep locations secret

[samtab]

oh no ! I didn't know that it was not legal yet and my Christmas tree is already big !

You guys are getting excited over nothing.  Approved plants will be very low THC but high CBD.

they are not even able to control this in shops selling oil...

Mine is 100% THC !

The best grass would be grown by hydroponics indoors

About 99 percent won't be considered

No need to come back to Thailand until they get this sorted. ????

They should be looking into growing Cannabis for Medicinal  purpose and Non THC Marijuana for  Clothing/Ropes/Building materials and many more uses.

This could help a lot of farmers for a  better income than what they get now from the oversupply  of the rubber.

Already being done in Thailand. It's called hemp, in Thailand mostly it's rosella or kenaf.

As an outdoor grower, I disagree. The best grass is grown organically outside in the sunshine.

I think that wall doesn't serve nothing, better to have many intelligent and well educated, very deterrent Bull Dog to guard all around.

Nearly twelve hours a day of blistering tropical sun,  water, and proper soil it will grow like a weed!

[cjinchiangrai]

I see permission to grow it but it does not say anything about permission to smoke it.  I  am sure some of the village lads are going to be thrilled to expand their acreage though.

Can only be grown outside(with no lights) so  Cancer patients will be getting low-grade Thai Bush Weed grown my Mum and pop. Instead of higher grade star dog or lemon kush  grown by experts in A greenhouse with  Hydroponics and lights and filters not that I know about these things.

We have a well developed and well run medical MJ program in the state of Pennsylvania in America. All samples are certified by labs for quality and lack of pesticide residues. Grown and sold by private companies with monitoring by the State. Thailand could do worse than look at our excellent solution to MJ grown, regulation and distribution.

Wonder if this will affect the court cases of the the foreigners very recently done for growing at home?

 

A good lawyer should be able to make a case for clemency?

You know that at the first sight of an insect landing on a good bud, the Thai farmers will be out there spraying a potent organophosphate insecticide on them.  At twice the recommended strength because they want to see bugs die immediately.  ( I was a volunteer 40+ years ago in the agricultural sector.  OMG!)

No doubt. If you allow people to control what they personally ingest anarchy and societal collapse can't be far behind. 

All Hail the State! Up with Big Brother!

I tried hydroponics in my greenhouse in Colorado. It was a complete failure. Way too much maintenance and equipment,care and supplies not to mention lights and power. 

I know it can be done but growing just four 5 meter plants in my back yard with compost yielded enough for a lifetime, and I composted the leaf keeping only the flowers of course. If one wants to grow all year it must be done inside, but for personal use the growing season is more than sufficient in most climates.

Watch for a spate of arrests by clueless cops who are not up to date on the law. It's practically a Thai trademark.

[DUNROAMIN]

Wow, idiot drivers, drunk drivers and now stoned drivers on the road, what is Anutin thinking. Not to mention more corruption. Some government officials here that are a few sandwitches short of a picnic.

[Iron Tongue]

So will weed farmers burn their stalks and leaves after the buds are harvested?  If so, Burning Season will be taking on a whole different meaning!

If they were smart they would water seive them to remove the leaf surface trichomes and then compost the remains....... but, of course they won't. 

 

What they burn won't be a shadow of the corn stalks and sugar cane burns though.

No correlation actually. The police associations in America tried to prove your point with endless driving tests in multiple states when recreational pot was first proposed. They failed miserably. That's exactly why many police in America now make minimal efforts at pot enforcement even in states where use is still illegal. They understand that ship has sailed.

 

Interestingly enough, the test subjects thought they had performed badly, but they didn't. Many of the state troopers administering the tests simply refused to believe the results even as they witnessed it. Same mental impairment regarding reality that many Republicans are currently experiencing. 

 

Meanwhile hundreds of thousands of people are dying in the heartland conservative stronghold states from prescription drug overdoses. No doubt countless traffic deaths can also be attributed to the same. 

 

That said, combining alcohol, various pills, and lack of sleep with pot is a bad idea if all you want to do is walk across the room or scratch your nose. 

 

It's been my experience that people who persist in repeating the stoned driver mythology are generally simply ignorant of the actual pharmacological effects of ganga. The truth is that most pot smokers avoid driving when stoned. 

[Myran]

Why the misleading title? It's not about people being allowed to grow it at home, it's about farmers potentially being able to get a permit to farm it for the medical industry.

I want to be down wind of the fields ????

Just a hint on how much cash can be made. 

I have smoked weed for ~40 years.

I travelled to the USA on a regular basis, (until the Chinese fkced it all up).

Visiting one of the many shops that now sell all sorts of varieties of weed/edibles/concentrates, I was very aware of how many people were passing through in the time I was there.

As I was browsing the iPad menu, I asked a shop assistant approximately how much money passed through the shop on a daily basis. She said in the region of $100,000.

That was 1 shop.

Have a look at an app called 'weedmaps' and take note of how many shops there are in the states where recreational weed is allowed. 

There is massive money to be made.
