With internationally stamped lab, Thailand ready to expand cannabis production

By The Nation

 

 

The use of medical cannabis is a key government policy and the Drug and Narcotics Bureau under the Department of Medical Sciences is testing and developing health products from cannabis and hemp, said Supakit Sirilak, the department’s director.

 

In August last year, a local laboratory testing active substances in cannabis plants, extracts and oil became the first lab in Thailand to be granted international standards certification.

 

The laboratory tests samples for strength and residues such as heavy metals, pesticides, mycotoxins, fungicides and contaminated microorganisms etc.

 

“Now the testing technique has been passed on to medical science centres nationwide for the analysis of vital substances and residues, and now they can develop laboratories outside the department’s jurisdiction. This will assure the quality and safety of cannabis products,” Supakit said.

as much as I love a bacon sanger, if I had to choose, a nice blueberry indica would win every time

"Thailand ready to expand cannabis production"

 

For Christ sake, how about getting on with covid 19 vaccine production first? 

Why don't they put more money into vaccine projects and labs instead of this waste of a brain dead drug.

Because everyone needs a way to relax and have a little harmless fun in life. Oh, wait, I forgot. Some folks don't like fun things do they?
