Inside Thailand's Underground Cannabis Industry
Inside Thailand's Underground Cannabis Industry
In August 2019, Thailand became one of the first countries in Asia to legalize medical cannabis. But some patients in need of cannabis medication still turn away from this legal channel, and go underground for stronger doses to treat their condition.

Actually there is proof that cannabis oils kill cancer cells. In fact there is a scientific term for these malignant cells turning on themselves. Ultimately committing suicide. The cancer cells reverse their negative actions.!
this would be an obvious economic boon to Thailand if they were to legalize weed…….tourism would substantially increase, citizens would have a new viable source of income, all considerations would be positive.

I believe the law has now changed and people are now allowed to grow a limited number of plants for personal use.
i have epilepsy and i had a kidney failure due to pharma meds. i had no seizure since 6 month now and weed is the only drug i consume now besides alcohol.
It does cure cancer but the way these guys cook is idiotic
Australia should fallow these parents, I have to say it helped my daughter with cp it’s hard to watch the seizures, you have to to experience it to understand it, so I did it, made the oil, only for my daughter, I don’t believe in sales of the product, because of the blackmarket made it look bad, it’s not if you don’t profit of it
So envy , i don’t know why weed still ilegal and classified as ranked 1 of narcotics same with meth and heroin/low grade, and severe punishment.
0:53 I thought she was smuggling a kilo under her azz on that chair 😂
Jah bless us all hail silasi ai.
My mate gets it for cancer over there in Thailand.he gets the oil.
It’s not cannibas it’s fucking hemp you fools stick with the natrule plant the real plant
Good show
Back in 2005 I showed some ppl in Bangkok how to make oil..lol..I wonder if they still make it the same way..lol..be well Thailand..
Thailand is a leader in S.E. Asia.
When I first moved to Colorado I was excited to get into the industry, I came prepared. I had a thousand or so seeds comprised of 4 strains that my friend and I developed in Florida during the early 2000’s. I’m talking stabilised feminised seed stock thats consistency with little deviation in phenotype and always female. It took years of work and spreadsheets but it was all worth it. I made it to the promised land I just need to fill out some forms have my small facility inspected and we’re good. Not so fast.
Unfortunately for me I arrived in Denver 1 year before they changed all the laws, laws that clearly are beneficial to large corporate growers and dispensaries. People who can reach in and pull a million bux out of their pocket and not blink twice. This decision by the state to create an overly complicated system that suddenly excluded anyone with any felony record for drugs, and I’m talking simple possession. They now required that all product from seed/clone to dried product had to be tracked from seed/clone to finished product, software that could track that sort of metrics didn’t even exist. They required not only cameras but the Controllers and hard drive backup has to be in a secured room that must be inspected by the police department. Even the security room has to have a camera both inside and outside the room.
Needles to say, I had to shutter my new operation 2 months after I finally got all my inspections and paperwork approved under the old system.
What all this has done is hurt small owners and worse yet it’s destroying the plant it’s self.
Commercial retailers/growers in Colorado are hands down the worst I’ve ever seen when it comes to strain selection. You go into the shoppes and there’s strains that you never heard of, never heard of them because they are convinced that then need to always be offering a new fresh product that no one else had. They do this by “pollen dusting”, one strain to another and coming up with a clever/ironic name. They don’t stabilise the seed stock nope just cross this with this make seeds the. Use those seeds that haven’t been stabilised to make this “new strain” worse yet they mix those together and before ya know it the genetics begins to fail not to mention do this enough and you have 30 types of product to sell that all looked taste and provides roughly the same high.
Denver has gone from having couture Bougie bud growers that supplied dispensaries with premium strains that with nothing but the best nutrients harvested when the tricombe were either amber or milky and then cured for 6 months or longer for a full smooth rich taste. To what we have now, over priced commercially grown bud with questionable genetics that are usually never flushed fully, and cured poorly. Since profits are lower quality has suffered, and I fear on a long enough time line Those amazing strains war have eventually been crossed over again and again until it’s just one homogenous strain with only subtle differences but ever shoppe is going to have their own name for it. Which about sums up pot in Colorado, it’s more about the hype and image then the actual product and unique properties that it holds. Colorado image over substance
Very funny.. fda says no proof of cannabis efficiency .. tho there are even studies from hardvard and other universities about the cancer cells behaviour in proximity of cbd.. my mom had 3% chances surival, marihuana saved her life on a stadium 2 with 10+ tumors in less than 3m them all shrink and disappeared.. fda has no proof of what they dont want to proof, pharma industry leaks of morality.. life shouldn’t have a price.. and cure should always be a priority over just "paliative" or "no improvement treatments"..but they rather cash u for 5y big time instead of telling u just grow this at home and get cured…
it actually does cure cancer hence why your government want to monetize it all for their families to now own
Bullshit its chemo that kills . People cancer is curable
🙏🇹🇭☮️
They’ll give you a Covid shot but they won’t legalize marijuana it’s all about the money Oregon legalize marijuana and they said they were giving money to the schools the schools haven’t got a dime after it passed
Omg this took me back to the 90’s Mary Jane. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everyone blazed that brick flower. 🤫🤫

We went from Thai Stick to Thai Brick😥
Crazy. As a dutch guy I can stuff my body with as much weed as humanly possible just for fun and these people have to turn to crime to help with actual life threatening illnesses
Have you ever watched someone with Parkinson’s disease before taking CBD oil and then after taking it? If this "Morality," actually exist. Then you’ll be happy to know there are millions of individuals who cannot afford this oil, yet our governments are eager to prescribe shelves full of poisons. Donate to someone. There’s nothing like giving of yourself.
สวัสดีครับ ผมมาจากไทยแลนด์
ถึงประเทศไทยกัญชาจะผิดกฏหมาย
แต่ก็มีกัญชาขายในตลาดมืด
Can we all just be grateful for the bud that we have because people in thailand are smoking leaves
Cannabis is Human Right. One Love 💚
Support and love from the UK. I had the pleasure of sampling Thai cannabis a few years ago in Phuket. Absolutely beautiful. It’s about time the whole world dropped prohibition on this miracle plant. Let’s OVERGROW the planet and return to our previously healthy state ❤️
cannabis in Thaïland is disgusting. they do not know how to cultivate it. males and females including mixed. it gives hermaphrodite buds of mediocre quality. ko chan genetics are present in all the hybrids produced in the world but the thaiweed in Thaïland is just disgusting.
Good thing Thailand is the first country in Asia to fully legalize now
Merry wanna
I love you Thailand
Now it is irrefutable that cannabis can be used to irradiate cancer with mycelial catalyst. GG herb racists. Sounds so stupid even saying it. You made a drug illegal because you hated that it made black and brown people have a good time LOL. Wierd tbh.
Give it 10 yrs this will be going on in most countries now.

Chocolate Thai is awesome had some flower n live resin n rosin earlier this year of the true genetics brought back. Killer stuff not a stunner tester flower was low 20% the wax was upper 60s n low 70s but taste wise brought me back to some good ol school genetics. 😋👌
🇹🇭🤲🏼
True 🌱🌱🌱👍👍👍
Fortunately it’s legal now.
I had been producing Cannabis oil in Thailand at that time, and with the big difference, I distributed my oil for free to poor patients, while this group somehow was involved with one hospital which offered cannabis oil, for a hell of a lot of money, although they got the stuff to produce from the police’s evidence room, who got a share of the bargain. And, you can guess, this group of Lung Dtoo, who was a former police officer by the way, wasn’t quite excited about my way to make Cannabis legal for EVERYONE. In the end, I was incarcerated for healing terminal patients for free, to a sentence of 6 years in one of their nice POW camps. Thailand is an inherently hypocritical lot!!!
