Popular Post webfact Posted December 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2021 “Ganja & Thai Traditional Medicine in the City” fair in Bangkok on March 18, 2021. (Photo by Mladen ANTONOV / AFP) Cannabis and kratom completed their long journeys to legalization this year, in what was seen as an uncharacteristically liberal move by conservative Thai authorities. Given that alcohol and cigarettes remain tightly controlled in Thailand, these once-banned herbs have come a long way in a short space of time. The newly amended Narcotics Code, which went into effect on December 9, lists neither cannabis nor kratom (Mitragyna speciosa) as illicit drugs. These herbs are now being touted for their huge potential in helping both patients and the Thai economy. The change in their status has much to do with the efforts of Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul, whose Bhumjaithai Party made legalization of cannabis a key election promise.

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted December 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2021 Yes, cannabis is legal, as long as it is below 0.2% THC. Oh, and it was grown under the supervision of a dozen different "authorities". Note that there are two different "Acts" covering cannabis. Only one has been slightly modified. The Narcotics Act 2522 (1979) and the Psychotropic Substances Act 2518 (1975). The cheese'll probably give you more of buzz? 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 More fluff headline than anything. Medicinal isn't going to give me the buzz I want at the price I'd want to pay. Let me know when it's legal to light up surfside, then I'll be impressed. Haven't tried kratom, as doesn't sound that interesting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The daily “dosage” for the government THC oil is equivalent to about 1/100 of a gram of high grade bud from the California dispensaries.

ArcticFox Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Unless you are a "Friend Of Anutin" you'll be thrown in jail for growing or possession of ganja. "Legal" only means for Anutin's buddies and the buddies of his buddies. Not Anutin's buddy? Prison for you!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Canada, 3+ years after legalization, buds at the weed shops average about 20% THC. Ounces currently start at about $70 Canadian, depending on the strain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free market finally driving prices, some shops closing, lots of shops being bought out. As for strength, i purchased a mg scale and use about 20mg for a reasonable dosage(for me). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spot index as of today: U.S. $2.86 (USD) per gram Canada: $3.87 (USD) per gram But these sorts of comparisons are silly, and hardly relevant to the topic.
