Thailand becomes the first Asian country to partially legalize Marijuana | DW News
Thailand plans to give away 1 million marijuana seedlings to encourage growers — getting high, however, could still be punished. A legislation allowing the cultivation of cannabis in Thailand came into effect on Thursday. The law, also allowing the use of cannabis in food and drinks, is a first of its kind in Asia. Although Thailand is not following the Uruguayan or Canadian models of legalizing recreational marijuana, it is seeking to boost hemp agriculture and medical tourism.
Grow but don’t smoke
Thailand is strongly promoting growing cannabis and using it for medicinal purposes, but it is still encouraging people not to smoke pot. The government is not allowing the possession or sale of cannabis extracts containing more than 0.2% of its psychoactive ingredient tetrahydrocannabinol, also known as THC. That’s around 20 to 40 times less than modern recreational cannabis designed to influence people’s state of mind would likely contain. In a warning against recreational use, the government said smoking pot in public could be considered nuisance, due to the smell. That’s punishable with up to a 3-month sentence and a fine of 25,000 Thai baht ($780, €728).

I am so happy for Thailand, i hope India too legalize it for recreational and medicinal use.
Plants,discover.nice.sir
Retiring in Thailand back on the menu. Thank God.
them being worried about bangkok becoming the asian amsterdam……isn´t bankok already one of the most partying and depraved cities worldwide?? lol
The only regulations should be is no harsh intoxic chemicals being used to either extract or as they’re growing nutrition either way concentrates as well should not be illegal there are many people who need concentrated medicinal medicine and even in Recreation standpoints there’s nothing to actually worry about when you actually cultivate and use extraction methods such as water bubble hash and ice or dry shifting but I believe in living soil growing and living with a biodiverse environment
So they can buy but can’t use it publicly. Just like in Canada then?
i envy you guys
highland XD
Again we don’t want Walmart weed from the government we want something we can actually work with and breed at a genetic standpoint and go through many trials and errors to find the many compounds that this Majestic plant has
congratulations

Thailand use to be great country now it’s the greatest country
Best ganja best
Trust me. They aint getting high from that 0.2 percent THC man.
Welcome to thailand land of smile😁😁😁
Why prices are so high 🤤🤤🤤🤔? I thought that Thailand will have honest prices…lower than Canada at least…usually almost everything is cheaper there…is it taxes???
Well technically India culture has a historic ties with the Ganja in Asia but, also specifically connected to Shiva shakes. Good to see a Thailand honoring the Sacred herb of Pi ratio in the Fibonacci sequence.
thumbs up for Thailand
I think marijuana can be legalized but only for a limited access and its use should be controlled by our government and science department. It can help a lot especially in the treatment of serious illnesses. The only cure that can be found is from here, which has been proven in countries like America where it is legal. And it has been legal for a long time. But it must be thought and planned well how to operate it well and not be abused, because it is of great use in science and the field of discovery. I hope you don’t criticize me, because this is just my opinion. May God guide us all ! 🙏😇🙏❤
SUPER COOL IN THAILAND, WISH THE REST OF THE WORLD WOULD WAKE THE F UP!!!!!@
And the beers (or other alcohol) still have limit time for sale (10am-2pm, 5pm-11:59am)
This is so irony.
I love THAILAND. Land Of Freedom and Smile.
progress!
Amazing Thailand!!!
Well done from Malaysia. One of smartest eco country.
Its not cannabis that creates mess, its the person. Privacy loving sharp personalities will smoke it alone/with closed ones for mental relaxation whereas rookies will smoke in public create the mess. Congratulations Thailand ! India is far less educated & corrupt(mediocre’s business) to legalize it in near future. People will slowly understand that THC & CBD can positively impact medicinal, psychological & self-centric (for every individual) needs.
Free the THC.
Congrats from MYANMAR 🇲🇲 !!! I hope we can get there one day too
Congratulations to Thailand, Respect.
As a user who been smoking for 20+ years i must admit Cannabis is completely harmfree,
There is nothing dangerous with it all. Even when i stop using it i have 0 addiction from it like example tobaco and alcohol.
Should we ban alcohol? The future might hold this, it depends, it’s a serious drug that harms the humans a lot and is classed as one of the most harmfull drugs in the world.
This message from the giver requires greater discussion. The salughterof animals require the maruqanna relaxant. Then the cannabis reuretn to stability after eating needs stablizing. This maintains better work productions and self control. It is the plant that is opposite to the plant that gives a high. This is antipsychotic.
Aaaand there always the middle aged party poopin prunes
becareful of the THC substance, Marijuana is not for all.. it may trigger schizophrenia if your genes has it.
Looks like sri Lanka is next country in south Asia correct me if I’m wrong
After the money is counted the rest of Asia will follow suit
Getting ‘LIT’ is something I approve of.. But only on cannabis.. And not in public where it’ll make a stank
I switched from high potency THC to High Potency CBD Delta 9 Moon Rocks. I get pounds of CBD and the same effects for 1/8 of the cost.
Legalization leads to regulation. People know what they smoke. More research is better than making it a taboo.
Crime is about to go down over there
This will do a lot towards healing the damage caused by alcohol.
High Thai? No, Thai High
A great step in the right direction, hopefully in the near future the government can create more concrete and clear laws as to avoid misunderstandings and abuse of these "grey areas" by the police for a quick buck. As a neighbour from another ASEAN country, I can only hope that this trend can spread around the region. I also understand why they don’t allow the consumption of it in public, not that different from laws in some states in the US, that also doesn’t allow consumption of marijuana in public space. Also Keep in mind that this is still the at its beginning stages, so as time goes on and the stigma around marijuana lessens, we could see more lax laws on percentages of THC in extracts and places where consumption is allowed.
Any growers need smart hydroponics management system can look for us . 🙂
Regardless of use they don’t need to regulate the strength of the cannabinoids such as thc most of what they have is cbd or hemp not something of huge value an they teach they out dated information on cultivars an how you can grow is absolutely ridiculous
