Thailand –  The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of Thailand has delivered a public warning about advertising products with cannabis and hemp, stating that doing so incorrectly could bring stiff fines and even prison time.

 

Mr. Paisarn Dankum, secretary-general of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) told the associated Thai press, “Advertising about medicines and herbs which have cannabis and hemp as part of the ingredients must be given permission from the FDA.”

 

“The advertising must not be focused on children and pregnant women or mothers who are feeding babies mother’s milk. The advertising must not show benefits about people partying, laughing, or having a good time, etc.” Paisarn added.

 

“A warning must be labeled on food and drink products containing hemp or cannabis to inform that consumers should read the instructions before consumption and that children, pregnant women and mothers feeding babies should avoid and if it causes any unfamiliar symptoms one should immediately stop,” Paisarn explained.

That´s a great plan. You can produce the product, but you can not market it.

There's another nail in 1 million plants of marijuana coffin, so far we only hear what you can NOT do with this white elephant of a gift...

Isn't it amazing how quickly that much trumpeted blanket "cannabis liberalization" has been curtailed again - all in the span of just 1 week?

 

And that happens soooo frequently in Thailand, with laws being issued in a hurry without having been thought through, turning out to have more holes than my great-grandma's self-knitted woolen stockings.

Hub of the flip flop. So pretty much you can grow it. Everything else is off the table.

I doubt advertising benefits about loneliness, crying or having a bad time, etc will be good for sales
