Popular Post webfact Posted January 20, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted January 20, 2022 The Narcotics Control Committee agreed Thursday to decriminalise the use of all parts of and extracts from cannabis and hemp in Thailand by removing the plants from the Category 5 list of narcotics, paving the way for households to be able to grow them. A draft announcement from the Ministry of Public Health, approved today, will be submitted to the Office of Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) for approval. Although derivatives of cannabis and hemp were removed from Category 5 in the amended Narcotics law, promulgated on December 9th, the plants themselves remained on the Ministry of Public Health’s list, leading to widespread confusion. The only exception to the decriminalisation is for cannabis extracts with a THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content exceeding 0.2% by weight.

Neeranam Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I wonder what the fine is if one grows a plant with 0.3 % THC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Great news. So it's legal to grow it and the only stipulation is if you make the extract, which I won't. I'm in like Flynn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orientalist Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Meanwhile, the cannabis oil I get from a famous hospital contains 2.7% THC and is technically illegal. But this is Thailand, after all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be the same guys who come up with the rules for traveling to Thailand. perhaps if they allowed people to smoke the week it would all make sense 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More yes/no mind-<deleted> from Thai officialdom....an out-of-control hydra. If I read this right you can grow weed at home and smoke it the THC content is irrelevant. The OP states "cannabis extracts with a THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content exceeding 0.2% by weight." If you grow and smoke it - you have not extracted THC to make an oil or another processed derivative. THC is a naturally forming part of the flower. It is not an extract unless in the form of an oil, wax or vape juice and so forth. https://www.ccsa.ca/sites/default/files/2019-07/CCSA-Things-You-Need-to-Know-about-Cannabis-Extracts-2019-en.pdf Edited January 21, 2022 by jonclark 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clear as mud i think is the correct phrase. - however Lazada seems to be doing a good trade in the sale of seeds...and i don't mean hemp seeds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
