Thai Law About to Make Medical Marijuana Legal

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

The Main Differences Between Medical and Recreational Marijuana

There are various differences between the two different types of marijuana. These main differences include:

Medical weed usually contains a higher CBD content than recreational. This means when you’re taking it, you don’t feel the “high” that’s associated with the recreational variety. Even though there’s no actual difference between the concentrates and flowers of both types, medical edible potency is frequently higher than its recreational counterpart.
Recreational weed typically contains a higher THC content than medical. This means people usually take this variety more for the “high” effect than the benefits.
You need a recommendation for medical marijuana. Recreational marijuana can be bought by anyone — however, you need to have a qualifying condition to get a medical marijuana recommendation, and this must be renewed regularly. This is a key difference between medical and recreational marijuana.

Thailand cannabis clinic reaches limit upon opening
The Nation/Asia News Network
Jun 27, 2019
Chao Phraya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital has announced that its medical cannabis clinic, which opened on Monday, will not accept any more patients as the clinic had reached its limit.

The hospital, renowned for traditional medicine based treatment, was endorsed by the Public Health Ministry to distribute medical cannabis to patients as part of the ministry's effort to come up with a medical cannabis model for hospitals nationwide.

It started to distribute cannabinoid to patients with epilepsy and Parkinson's disease on Monday and around 10 patients were screened and selected based on the severity of their symptoms. The hospital followed the guideline for special cases laid by the Food and Drug Administration and the amended Narcotics Drugs law.

"I hope it would be the beginning of our medical cannabis treatment which would also be equipped with systematic follow-ups," said Dr Namphol Danphipat, the hospital's director.

As a model, Abhaibhubejhr would also explore growing marijuana to achieve the best breeding practice as well as medical extraction, expertise the hospital has long built up and well known.
Cannabis is known to respond to different diseases so it remains an area for medical practitioners to explore.

So far, it is widely accepted that it is responsive to epilepsy and Parkinson's, as well as neuropathic pain and pain relief for the fourth stage of cancers.

The hospital is working on extracting implicated marijuana provided by the Office of Narcotics Control Board so that it can acquire more cannabinoid, this time for pain relief of cancer following the high THC concentration responding to the disease.
