Thailand has a long history of using cannabis in traditional medicine to relieve aches and pains. Innovators are now coming up with new ideas.
Surawut Samphant, owner of the Channherb cannabis shop, has created a toothpaste.
"One of its ingredients is cannabis sativa seed oil, which contains CBD," he said.
Surawat said the toothpaste helped with gum care and one satisfied customer said it worked for him.
......
The owner of the Kanomsiam dessert shop, Kreephet Hanpongpipat, has long sold pandan-leaf flavoured dishes but a year ago incorporated cannabis leaf to draw in new customers.
Kreephet said his customers say the cannabis-infused desserts help them get a good sleep.
Health minister Anutin Charnvirakul, the main driver behind the legalisation of cannabis for medical purposes, estimates the industry could be worth more than US$3 billion within five years.
......
"My policy on cannabis is only focusing on medical purposes and health care. That's all. We can't encourage the use of cannabis in other ways."
Producers of THC-rich marijuana have taken advantage of the push to promote medical marijuana and stalls selling pot have sprung up around the country.
Anutin said that there were public health laws that can prevent recreational use while a cannabis bill is being deliberated in parliament.
