The expenses will let households grow up to 15 cannabis plants just for domestic use, households farm cannabis for use of the roots, trunk and fibre, within the area not going above 15 rai, plus hospitals to grow marijuana for medication classified by Herbal Product Operate.

Mister Panthep said even though the legal control of cannabis is still flawed, current information indicates the number of cannabis-related patients offers dropped since marijuana was legalised upon June 9. “It shows that people are knowledgeable of the cannabis understanding campaign and that cannabis use is in check.
