Popular Post webfact Posted February 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2022 Cannabis-derived products in Thailand. (CNA photo) People bringing in cannabis goods legal in Thailand but banned in Taiwan face tough punishment By Huang Tzu-ti, Taiwan News, Staff Writer TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — People in Taiwan are cautioned against importing goods containing cannabis from Thailand, the first Southeast Asian country to have legalized the plant. Taiwan Customs has seized many parcels from Thailand found to have been laced with marijuana recently, from cosmetics, snacks, to ointments. This follows the legalization of the use of hemp and cannabidiol (CBD) in Thailand’s foods and cosmetics in February 2021. Businesses in the country have jumped on the bandwagon by introducing cannabis-derived products, spanning beverages, essential oils, candles, among others. -- © Copyright Taiwan News 2022-02-07 - Aetna offers a range of visa-compliant plans that meet the minimum requirement of medical treatment, including COVID-19, up to THB 3m.

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted February 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2022 So much for their brilliant export plan. I don't think they can export even to cannabis-forward countries? Maybe Canada, probably not the U.S. as it is still illegal there at the federal level. So domestic markets only. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something Thailand never thought of... you can produce it, process it but it doesn't mean you can freely export it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soon they will be putting cannabis in everything like they do with sugar. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 Products laced with Ayutthaya No-High? Leaves don't get anyone high. They're decoration and a marketing gimmick at best. Funny to see other Asian countries which are even more insane and paranoid about cannabis then Thailand. Thailand now seems like a Liberal Paradise when in comes to cannabis. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Gilligan In Drag Posted February 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Completely hyperbolic/hysterical/idiotic. Taiwan and the media source that wrote up this propaganda/misinformation piece up are just willfully ignoring the reality that marijuana is a drug and hemp products do not contain a psychoactive drug. I don't follow it all that much, but it seems I've read there is much in non-psychoactive CBD oils that is incredibly benefical for numerous ailments and is relatively non-toxic compared with pharma industry treatments. So I would guess thats what this is actually about, protecting someones drug profiteering in the pharma industry. Hemp was used for centuries to make paper, rope etc, this is not by any stretch new or revelatory information yet here we are with such things being called products "laced" with marijuana.
