Every time I read something like this I think back to all those threads with the "Thailand is the best country in the world" warriors. This is an effffing mad house.

Which is part of why I love it.

Can I just light up on the beach in peace ?
That's all I ask

the only strain they could claim for heritage is "ThaiStick" which used to be famous in the '70-s and '80-s!  the other strains definitely come from other areas or countries.

mind you, it is still not legal to grow or consume which way ever, you need to have permission from 'health officials'! therefor can not be claimed unless made available for everyone without any restrictions! 

for instance Mexico could claim the AcapulcoGold strain, Hawaii could claim the MauiWowie strain etc etc so Tland ThaiStick

So stupid.

Even if they "legalize" it, they'll never will allow people to grow it. If so, there's no money to be made for Anutin's buddies.

And CBD strong "medical purpose"? No one waits for Thai weed. Other growers are so far ahead. "Thai" is a 100% Sativa.

Sure thing.

I'll take it over a western nanny-state any day in the week.

We have home grown cannabis for decades but intangible cultural heritage ? They are so naive. Lovely !

the department will ask the ministry to submit the list of local Thai cannabis v a g i n a strains to UNESCO to have them listed as intangible cultural heritage items.

Now that would make more sense!

This is akin to Haiti submitting it’s “dirt cookies” to UNESCO

They might have to speed up their cannabis plans, and produce enough stock if countries in Europe legalize it.

 

Italy will vote next year.

Germany is also on the move.

If it will become legal in Italy and Germany these are two large markets Thailand could deliver to.

 

If Italy and Germany legalize it, it's 100% that more countries will follow.

 

Wouldn't Thailand be able to become a large exporter of cannabis, which also would create some jobs for the Thais.

It will be legal worldwide.  Nobody is going to pass up on that amount of tax revenue.

Modern strains of marijuana are grown for yield and potency because of the high prices despite being legalized in many countries. I believe creates more negative side effects. So it make sense to preserve these traditional strains.

 

None the less, marijuana like alcohol are dirty drugs. Drugs with a lot of side effects.  Addiction, paranoia, confusing and memory loss are some of the worst of marijuana. It  many be possible to minimize the side effect through genetic hybrids.  I  doubt the medicinal value. I have heard of synthetic cannabis is around the corner.  In the future i doubt people will use drugs like alcohol or marijuana.  There are millions of potential mind altering drugs that could be synthesized without the toxicity or side effects.
