Cannabis clinics set to mushroom

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.

Cannabis clinics set to mushroom

Post by phuketrichard »

Thailand leads the way in SE Asia: :beer3:
Since Thailand launched its first cannabis clinic in August 2019, the Public Health Ministry has opened over 500 more nationwide.

They can be found in public hospitals in every province including 60% of public hospitals in 878 districts and several tambon or subdistrict healthcare centres. The facilities are overseen by the Ministry's Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine.

"More than 40,000 patients have used cannabis to treat their respective illnesses. So far the results have been quite impressive," Dr Kwanchai Wisitthanon, the department's deputy director-general, told the Bangkok Post.

To ALL you naysayers against cannabis.


Department records show that the health condition of 74% of patients improves after such treatment.

how about this flower?

scientists from Abstrax Tech, a California-based cannabis research company, have found that in marijuana’s case, terpenes are not responsible for its aroma. Rather, the distinctive smell is caused by a newly discovered family of compounds called prenylated volatile sulfur compounds (“VSCs”). (...) Prenylated volatile sulfur compounds are at their strongest and most concentrated toward the end of the flowering stage. Prenylated VSCs achieve peak potency during the curing process when cultivators put marijuana buds in airtight containers to conserve flavor and aroma. According to the researchers, VSCs can provide cardioprotective and anti-cancer benefits."

Have the police been informed yet? I still wouldn't like to be caught on the beach with a joint. Not that I partake of the herb anymore anyway . Is there any indication that it will go the way of Holland? That would be a great tourist draw for Thailand.

Why are they setting them to mushroom? Are they going rotten?
