Thai Families Can Grow Six Pots of Cannabis Each as Rules Eased

• Family communities to supply marijuana to medical institutions

• Recreational use remains banned as users face fines or jail

 

Thai households can now grow six pots of cannabis each to supplement their income, the nation’s health minister said, as the first country in the region to legalize medical marijuana further eased rules to promote the crop’s commercial use.

 

Families may form communities to grow marijuana and supply the crop to public hospitals and state facilities, or use them to make food and cosmetic products as a fresh revenue source, Thailand’s Deputy Premier and Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said in a statement Friday.

 

“Marijuana and hemp are both economic crops and it provides a new option for locals to generate revenue,” Anutin said at a marijuana educational expo at Buriram, 400 kilometers northeast of Bangkok. “We are trying to ease restrictions to allow the public easier access to the plant, but please cooperate and use it correctly.”

 I can envision that this silly idea is a giant slippery slops for more problems policing and enforcing and regulating of this permit, this is a wacky idea that only in Thailand is is possible, as there are other less problematic idea to 'supplement incomes'....

Marijuana is hardly a medicine. Even if it is, why would you want random locals supplying it to hospitals? They are sending out a mixed message, it's legal, it's not legal, it's medicine, it's not.

 

The fact is marijuana is an addictive drug that people use to get high. Smoking weed every day is not a solution to life. If you've got cancer or aids and want to smoke weed, then who are we to deny you that.

marijuana is no more addictive than ice cream - nice to eat and can turn into a habit but neither give withdrawal symptoms on cessation

Surprising. For most it is less damaging than alcohol. For some though whereas alcohol will affect you bit by bit marijuana can make you dimwitted and slow and for a certain small proportion it can affect your mental health significantly.

While most enjoy it and it might improve their life I have known people who have slowed down to a crawl in a negative way and others who have lost it totally. It is pretty strong these days - much stronger than in the 60's. So those who take it for the first few times have to be careful.

Who are you to say "WE"? Speak on your behalf. It's been legal in Canada for a while now and no big new headings as to crime going up... or people heading for rehab centers.

 

What do you know about marijuana? I quit 20 years ago but I have no problem with anyone wanting to smoke and I do not think anyone who does should be branded a criminal because some short people rather have prohibition on it knowing full well that if it were legal people would grow there own and that it would then be difficult to tax.

It is not addictive, though it may be habit forming just like a lot of other things, like watching TV for example. 

[Peterw42]

There is a massive difference between growing and smoking marijuana to get high, and growing marijuana to extract the medicinal/therapeutic oils, 

It's two completely different things. A marijuana plant contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), THC gets you high, CBD is a therapeutic for pain relief etc.

 

CBD is a compound found in cannabis plants (a cannabinoid) that provides proven therapeutic benefits. It doesn’t have the same intoxicating effects as  tetrahydrocannabinol (THC)

 

Medicinal marijuana has nothing to do with smoking dope to get high.

 

People grow sugar cane that get distilled to make alcohol that goes in hand sanitizer.

It has nothing to do with drinking alcohol to get drunk.

Six pots worth nothing isn't going to help anyone, how ridiculous can they get?

I agree with you about it's not clear wheter it's legal or not.

but you state to easily that it is addictive. how do you know that? a specialist?

I would say cigarettes are much more addictive, even alcohol... (women could be as well ????)

locals would consume marijuana either by eating it (like in curries) or smoking it (by bong).

and what do you think about the oil that is proven to be very effective.

if this government is really smart then they would legalize it, just like in USA, Canada and many other countries around the world, to get it out of criminal hands, guarantee quality and sell it in specialized shops.

do you realize how much in tax only there could be made?
