Thailand opens new Cannabis Clinic in Bangkok -

Thailand's first cannabis clinic opens in Bangkok


Thailand's first cannabis clinic opened on Monday (Jan 6) and was flooded with patients after the country became the first in Asia to legalise medicinal use of the drug.

Hundreds of patients converged on the government run facility in Bangkok - which already has a waiting list of more than 2,000.

The pilot clinic, based in the Ministry of Public Health, expects to see between 200 to 300 patients daily.

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirankul said today that patients would receive free treatment for the first two weeks. He said: ''This is a pilot clinic, because we cannot produce enough doctors with expertise in cannabis.''

The Southeast Asian country legalised marijuana for medical use and research in 2017. While in 2019 it removed cannabis and hemp extracts from its banned drugs list and pushed laws allowing each household to grow up to six plants.

In a protectionist move to boost the country's economy, only domestic drugs firms and farmers will be able to supply the country's network of clinics.

Health Minister Anutin Charnvirankul said there were already around two dozen smaller non-specialist cannabis centres that form part of general hospitals that see patients sporadically.

But the clinic he opened today (Jan 6) is the first one that will be the first full-time facility staffed by doctors who are experts in medicinal marijuana, he said.

Thailand plans to open 77 similar clinics in the future - one in each of its provinces.

ok, yeah, yuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!


that sounds like the Hemplaw wich changed and made me believe they only legalized hemp was not the only one.


I hearde someone saying something like that aswell. but he didnt verify so i wasnt just believing. He also said the Laws Change all the Time, and it sounded like THE Laws, multiple Laws.. And from the Feel it sounded like he knew to a certain extend what he said.


So it sounds like you researched it well gypsy, and that ther will be legal THC-WEED, and not just leagal CBD-Hemp..


Yuhu yuhhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Romano, in Gypsy's post there is a link to a liveleak.com article.
Please listen to the doctor monologue in the video starting at 1:45

He is clearly stating in that video that Thailand is legalizing medicinal cannabis in terms of doctor/patient only and he is saying at the end of the video that they will be very strict with recreational cannabis with a big smile.

Thailand is known as the land of the thousand smiles. Smiles talk in Thai culture and the doctor's smile is saying more than a thousand words
