It's Now Legal To Grow And Buy Cannabis Plants In Thailand


People in Thailand are now free to grow and own Marijuana plants at home after its government officially removed cannabis from its list of banned drugs. It's the first Asian country to legalize weed.

"It is an opportunity for people and the state to earn income from marijuana and hemp," said Anutin Charnvirakul, deputy prime minister and health minister, on his social media accounts last month.

He shared a photo on Facebook of a chicken dish cooked with cannabis, adding that anyone could sell the dish if they followed the rules - the main one being that products must contain less than 0.2% of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the compound that gives users that "high" feeling.
