If there will be parties involved in the cultivation, distribution or possession of cannabis and hemp will be able to register to do so as on 29th of January whereas if some portions of the plant are to be excluded from the list of Type 5 drugs.

A selection of savoury dishes are seen, including pizza, kaprao and khao yum, as well as beverages made with cannabis as an ingredient. At an event to establish cannabis-mixed recipes, the dishes were shown. Only portions of the plants that are cultivated in lawfully appropriate areas for medicinal research are used.

For this reason, The plants’ leaves, stalks, stems and roots will be expunged from the list, Secretary General Paisarn Dunkum of the Food and Drug Administration but this does not include seeds having high drug content, or flowers. And it is still not permitted for individuals to cultivate both cannabis and hemp.

Consequently, As of 29 January, individuals, legal agencies, government departments, community businesses and businesses may be eligible to apply and use the legal components of cannabis and cannabis for medical uses and in the textile, pharmacy and cosmetic sectors. This is part of the government’s agenda to encourage the latest cash crop of hemp and cannabis, he said.

Applications would, however, have to be forwarded to the FDA office for the import and export of hemp. The Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Health signed an agreement to create a training framework for parties to launch a company using hemp parts.
