BANGKOK, June 9 (Reuters) - Thailand legalised the growing of marijuana and its consumption in food and drinks on Thursday, the first Asian country to do so, with the aim of boosting its agriculture and tourism sectors, but smoking pot is still against the law.

......

"After COVID, the economy going down the drain, we really do need this," said Chokwan Kitty Chopaka, who owns a store selling cannabis gum sweets.

Thailand, which has a tradition of using cannabis to relieve pain and fatigue, legalised medicinal marijuana in 2018.

The government, banking on the plant as a cash crop, plans to give away a million plants to encourage farmers to take up its cultivation.

Overall, I think it's exciting to see more countries embracing the benefits of cannabis. Whether you choose to grow it, consume it, or use CBD products, there are plenty of ways to experience the benefits of this amazing plant.

This thing start from West so call " CBD oil "

for years Western Doc has proof CBD DO help come aiding illness etc even come mental.

But they DO caution , they mean is minor dose , percentage of it.

Those countries , states which Legalises it is base on Health guide line.
Means they are in the form of sweet, snack , etc just like those supplement.

......

The average monthly number of cases involving impaired consciousness and other issues due to marijuana use has quadrupled since the legalization, the health ministry said.

The regulation of marijuana is stoking tensions within Thailand's ruling coalition. The Bhumjaithai Party advocated for decriminalization, but a bill to tighten control of the drug's use failed to pass in September after opposition from a coalition member, the Democrat Party, which said it had too many loopholes. Relations are fraying between the two parties with the elections on the horizon.

This move could have a significant impact on the country's agriculture and tourism sectors, especially after the challenges posed by COVID.It's also great to hear that they're giving away a million plants to encourage farmers to get involved in cultivation. This could open up new opportunities and benefit many communities.As we see more countries around the world exploring the potential of cannabis, it's an exciting time for those interested in the industry.
