Cannabis, hemp removed from narcotics list

[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK (NNT) - The government of Thailand has officially legalized cannabis and hemp through the removal of these plans from the national narcotics list.

 

The Narcotics Control Board yesterday in a meeting chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam approved the removal of cannabis and hemp from Schedule 5 of the national narcotics list, as proposed by the Ministry of Public Health. With the removal of these two articles, Schedule 5 of the narcotics list will still contain opium, magic mushrooms, and cannabis extract with more than 0.2% THC content.

 

Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul said his Bhumjaithai Party would submit a cannabis and hemp bill to the parliament today, adding that the party will continue to push forward the enactment of this bill.

 

Once passed, the cannabis and hemp law will go into effect after 120 days after being published on the royal gazette, effectively allowing the general public to cultivate the plants.

 

With this proposed law, villagers will have to notify the relevant authorities before planting cannabis or hemp. Any private cultivation of these plants before this law goes into effect is considered illegal.

And exactly how will they check the 100s of thousands private rural homes, who will now be growing it, that it will have the variety with less than 0.2% THC ? Nobody will grow that junk surely and just plant the better quality plant. I have 3 rai spare so would appreciate advice as to where to get the better plants. Perhaps the variety that grows freely in Lebanon on particularly very poor soil is the one to go for ?

You don't need many feminised seeds, as cannabis is very easy to clone (from cuttings).

(you can't clone autos, and they have poor yields)

 

My friend can recommend .........

Red Diesel ..... 20% THC grows well in tropical temperatures, and a large plant (tingles and sleepy)

Critical Orange Punch ..... 20% THC grows well in tropical temps, also a large plant (vivid dreams and sleepy)

 

Don't expect cannabis to grow well outside as all the creatures love eating it.

Thrips, aphids, leaf miners and slugs.

So is something changed already or changes are coming only after 120 days? I did not understand from the article if "exclusion from narcotics list" and "cannabis and hemp law" is the same thing, or one comes before another, because narcotics list regulates use and possession, but  law regulates production. So like if production law comes in effect in 120 days, what about possession and use?

anything you would want to consume is still illegal.

Reading the op my understanding is that you're able to grow any variety but the possession of extract of more than 0.2% thc is illegal. I assume any growers will be selling the plant to the  authorities. As is usual with all things ganja related in Thailand until a law in in effect reality is as clear as mud.

For reference and a warning should anyone decide to visit Cambodia (27 January 2022):-

 

"The National Authority for Combating Drugs (NACD) yesterday warned that anyone who cultivates marijuana, processes it for any form of business, or abuses it will be punished in accordance with the Anti-Drug Law.

............cannabis or marijuana has detrimental effects on health, including neurological complications, and has been found to have no medical benefit........."

And yet it's openly sold ($10/bag) and smoked (not in public) in Siem Reap and Phnom Penh.

And even listed on the menu as a topping for Pizzas in many restaurants.

Easy...do your homework and find which variety grows well in this climate and latitude and order online. Problem is that photo periods require different night/day hours and here near the equator it's almost always 12 hrs of each. You have to veg the plant indoors and then flower outside. Maybe some more knowledgable perps can chime in .I think photo's need 18-6 sun in veg then 12-12 flowering. I grow autoflowers..no prob.Good luck.

Concur...my friend has had a bad time with leaf miners..he grows indoors to eliminate that and he doesn't have a spot outside of prying eyes and the odor can be detected easily.

Indoors works best for him.

I avoid smoking pot in Thailand.

I also avoid buying pot in Thailand as there is a tendency for your dealer to be a narc for the police.

For some reason that doesn't appear to be a problem in Cambodia or Vietnam.

My friend found that a plant that's old enough will flower no matter what the sunshine hours are.

It takes a little longer (5+ months), and it's probably on the large size, but it flowers.

 

Autos also cost too much,

1 auto seed gets you one smallish plant around 1oz per plant (2oz if you're really good).

1 feminised seed gets you as many plants as you like, any size you like, 3oz+ per plant.

Now if you want to grow 20 plants ...... that's a significant cost difference.

$200 Vs $10 in seed cost.
