snoop1130 Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Thais allowed six cannabis plants per household under draft law FILE PHOTO: A man drives his motorbike near an election campaign poster in Bangkok, Thailand February 15, 2019. REUTERS/Soe Zeya Tun/File Photo BANGKOK (Reuters) - A party in Thailand's ruling coalition has proposed a draft law that would allow Thais to grow a limited amount of cannabis at home, less than a year after the country legalised the drug for medicinal purposes and research. Under Thailand's current drug laws, recreational users of cannabis can incur tough penalties, including up to 10 years in prison for possession and hefty fines. A senior lawmaker in the Bhumjaithai Party, third-largest partner in the coalition and in charge of the health ministry, said the draft law would allow up to six marijuana plants per household. Cannabis is still a drug under Thai law. "The principle is for medical use, you can have it at home for ailments, but not smoke it on the street," Supachai Jaisamut told Reuters. It would also allow the sale of plants to licensed institutions under the supervision of an institute for that purpose, Supachai said. The proposed Plant-based Drug Institute would have authority to purchase, extract and export cannabidiol (CBD), the chemical derived from the cannabis plant, Supachai said, comparing it to the Californian model. He said the law could be passed in 6 months after November when parliament re-opens if there was enough government support. The proposal would deliver on an election promise of the Bhumjaithai Party, which campaigned on a policy to allow Thais to grow cannabis. Its supporters say the draft law is designed to develop the Thailand's newly legal medical marijuana industry. The Food and Drug Administration announced this month a cannabis business workshop as public and investor interest heighten after the policy was introduced. -- © Copyright Reuters 2019-09-13 Follow Thaivisa on LINE for breaking Thailand news and visa info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Not a good idea IMO. If it is for medical reasons it should be treated as any other medical remedy. Growing it at home will IMO allow for misuse. If it was made totally legal (as I think it should though I am not a user) , then home growth should be fine.

KeeTua Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 It's a conspiracy, and not only in Thailand. When robotics, AI and mechanized farming replace the need for human labor what do you do with the masses of unemployed? Let them get high and play with their smartphones, video games and virtual reality to keep them docile. Just joking, sort of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chickenslegs Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 If they want to make it legal to grow your own cannabis and smoke it (or whatever) in your own home, I'm all for it. Maybe we could be allowed to brew our own beer, cider, and wine in our own homes, for our own consumption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inn Between Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 3 hours ago, wgdanson said: What's the difference between cannabis and marijuana anyone, please? It's all dope to me. LOL Cannabis sativa (or cannabis indica) are the correct names. Marijuana is only the demonizing name the US gov't gave the plant, feeling it was more sinister sounding and would more likely discourage people from wanting to use it. Hemp is a form of cannabis sativa, but it's typically cultivated for fibre and has very low levels of THC. Hemp was actually the target the US gov't was aiming for with its outlawing of cannabis. Crude oil and its new polymers, especially nylon invented by the Duponts, were to be heavily promoted, and competing against hemp, which was crucial to economic development in the US for well over a century, would impede people like the Duponts (and their politician friends) from becoming obscenely rich as quickly as they wanted. The word "marijuana" was only used to make this amazingly beneficial plant sound dangerous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
