The Thai government has relaxed the law narcotics in
the Northern region of Thailand. The reason being, they want to promote the
industrial use of its fiber, household/commercial use, research and agriculture
breeding. However, the Narcotics Control Board will keep the registration for
hemp farms heavily regulated as only state departments can apply.
A similar type 5 drug that researchers are pushing
to ease the narcotic law on is marijuana. Marijuana is known for its medicinal
properties and has been used in Thailand for hundreds of years, before modern
medicine was introduced into the country. It was forced to be criminalized by
the UN.
Dr. Kamoltham, an advocate for alternative medicine

the plant grows well in the hot climate. The ease on policy with Hemp may be a
little too late as other countries have already dominated the market.
