a very challenging place to work probably i think we're always thinking of buying 3 part of the plan from always on the love we are travelling the extra mile where are the media going to go we go there. for decades drug kingpins made millions trafficking heroin opium and cannabis through thailand. in response to thailand's long became top. its prisons are bursting at the seams. but there's. even government ministers are extorting the virtues of cannabis we have seen that.

would not only kill illness for people it could become one of the major income all people think they're all supporters go even further but what if i need. to enjoy guns hi you know my mom got thoughts of what me high. as the new drug laws take a fact 11 east investigate whether these promises are like a reality. it's a quiet afternoon here at the university bangkok. but security is tight. a van carrying half a ton of valuable contraband is about to arrive. there

500 kilograms and over here and normally would go for an intern or it or but today is going to thailand very for medical cannabis research referring. to the biggest delivery of seized cannabis they've ever received and the swat team is here to make sure every one of these packages reaches its final destination. a little more than a year ago cannabis was a class 5 drug anyone found possessing or using it in thailand could get up to 10 years in prison and. new laws now allow those with permits to cultivate dispense and study cannabis. from my car i don't. know.

what in one. pot song sock runs this facility is university is one of the 1st to invest in thailand's new medical benefits industry in a big way. because the. hartmann is researching the effects of cannabis on different cancers and they are also perfecting the extraction process so they can customize boils to the type of the disease there is a lot of optimism there about the medical and business potential but not everyone is on board critics argue that cannabis is still a dangerous narcotic. not going to. drop.

that. bone and. you're. preventing the other up. coming are looking to a lot. of. the demand for medical marijuana is growing some advocacy groups estimate more than a 1000000 tide would be interested in getting cannabis treatments. dr weil. runs one of the country's 1st medical marijuana clinics at a hospital she says the government's change of heart came as a surprise. young. woman who up in blue michael. back home. she says when the clinic 1st opened its doors they were flooded with patients one. kept.

under the coop. but. these days the hospital requires patients to phone in advance to check if they're eligible for cannabis treatment. the government has stipulated 38 conditions that qualify from allergies to cancer. but many still come hoping for a miracle. yet to. hide the role i have. been. all.

sat by. patients who are given cannabis oil are tracked through their national identification number to make sure they don't go to another hospital to try to get more pharmacists call them at home to ensure they're taking the correct dose and to collect data for research. on this one. but not everyone is this vigilant with their patients. at a temple in thailand's rule north buddhist monks grow their own cannabis and allow people to use it for treatment there are no doctors' prescriptions or check up calls just come use their plants and stay until you feel better.

and his wife traveled 8 hours to reach the temple after hearing about it from a friend the child has been diagnosed with stage 3 cancer of the esophagus. by whom up in. the. fall. on. my. lawn. he's been told to take a couple of drops of cannabis oil every few hours to relieve his symptoms. says her husband doesn't like hospitals. made. the decision caused

a rift in the family. putting. her through enough that throughout iraq right now this really. is the founder of the clinic a former police officer he collaborates with the temple to teach patients about the end of his well. right now running mate back before her mother like her. never had. he claims the oil cures cancer and asks patients to stop all modern medication when they begin taking cannabis that there were. one type. of very bad chemo. myself. i

challenge him on his teachings cannabis really cure cancer. they. could make but the they came. forward with. that but they do. i'm going to a board i like both of. you coming up for. months harmonic by. god but then. i think. you're telling people to stop what if cannabis doesn't work long tech untac or that's a valuable but the more developed. that need i like bob is going to meet him because i think he could we could turn back or make them but not people make i did it and see. what one tune is doing is controversial but he's adamant he won't stop he says the temple is the last hope for many patients.

and. that. i don't talk to. the lead comic. of the me. i have made me feel like they may become a lover not a problem. one tunes claims have not been scientifically proven and experts warn that cannabis oil dispensed outside of hospitals can be contaminated by pesticides and heavy metals. it's been 3 days since every child has been at the temple. he says he's now able to eat pain free for the 1st time since his diagnosis 2 months ago. it was my time in my. hands.

to. see yesterday. he met me. without. comment coming. when. i knew to him no way. you're going. to tell me. since the new laws came into effect about a year ago there's been claims a can't miss can not only cure disease it can also provide a lucrative income. one consulting group estimates the thai cannabis industry could be worth more than $2000000000.00 by 2024 more than that top.

politicians campaigned on these promises that i. hope. you know. when. to play in jordan paul. thank you but i hope you know. song moon bought. tens of thousands of people were drawn to thailand's 1st cannabis festival last year. exhibitors showed off their plans spoils an edible it's. what you tubers wonder at the festival in our. even the prime minister is happy to promote the government's new mascot they call him dr. this change of attitude is apparent in the traditional medicine industry almost 3000 traditional medicine practitioners are certified to prescribe cannabis

compared to just 400 medical doctors i go to a traditional medicine clinic with the highest stamp of approval from the government i'm here at the cannabis clinic at the ministry of health and they're saying that patients can come in here and get free cannabis oil if they qualify so i'm going to go through the process and see if i can take cannabis oil home today. i check in with an m. and hand over my tie id card for their tracking systems. they take my blood pressure and ask about my medical history and my symptoms. i tell them how i've been having difficulty sleeping. with that the doctor says i qualify and can take 3 trips of oil a day she assures me it's not much. in fact you would need to take half the bottle to feel a strong high. i've just received 2 bottles of cannabis or each

. about $100.00 drops each. it's been prescribed for my insomnia. it took me less than 30 minutes to go through the entire process to get the oil just a few years ago using cannabis. dispensing cannabis would be completely real . thailand's minister of health explains the government's sudden change of heart at the people who actually were ready for these products long before my party launched this campaign. we heard. what you will want on the campaign trail some people in your party or thing you could get up to $2000.00 per kilogram of cannabis is that realistic this is typical. of the men and people we have to compete in the quality of the products. someone that

come with. seeds technologies. and some kind of. research and development. will have a better opportunity i ask him how far the laws will go recreation though. is that the pope list. we want people to have options in curing them so. we were not the business opportunity for farmers for industrialists. thailand's openness towards new laws is tied to the country's deep history with the plant. traditionally thai people used cannabis to treat common ailments and spiced up noodle soup. but the plant has been illegal for more than 70 years and few people know how to grow it anymore. i'm on the

road with. don who recently started a legal pandarus farm but finds it difficult to get reliable information on cultivating a high quality crop in thailand a lot. of head i am on he based on home. yeah ah. how about what my lot but they know my me hype will get all hot you know all who love the. lord. or pete carroll. the one you don't get me operated out by by he. people of my. so we're on our way to meet an illegal grower called daddy down the walk the walk. home a tired out it had about. how island far from bangkok daddy whose real name is linda has been secretly. growing

cannabis for more than 25 years he remembers a time when cannabis was commonplace on the island. i warn on the island which is growing on a lot of time because. fisherman there need some kind of. relaxation to go and work in this thing is very stress. and using cannabis smoking bunk it helps them to stay out in the sea without fear. he too has embraced cannabis is medical properties he gives out the oils he extracts by leaving stashes at the local conti shop for those who need it but earlier this year he was arrested for growing without

a license. that doesn't bother johnson she's excited to meet him. again. about. 500 to meet him. while. he shows jumps adonai the rooftop terrace where he used to grow his plants before the police took them away on down and rope wife and son to what don't you know how much are you. coal indoor newtown there have been called. how my son jumble me your body by will oh yeah. i got my. good my dad got near right out he's now awaiting trial but he says he's not worried about being sent to prison. for poor but he gave her guts i wouldn't. you don't i will you don. we do.

get down to business at a local restaurant. she confesses that she's having difficulty with the strain she's working with on me. how do i do all. i could. watch. an egg on my body gotten. me and i. i don't know is known for perfecting the strain that can perform well in thailand's humid climate and wants to continue that work at work what i've tried to read now is this strain which can grow everywhere in titan and outside not you know . these should be good enough for this ng so it's not too expensive for regular people to try and. we're too

afraid to get arrested. yeah. they have to feel scared or afraid because and there was thing that bad i'm not. killed anyone i know any one. a developed buddhist he gives out his advice and his own oil is for free it's those seeking profit to worry him they start to do business to stop the sale and then they lost. their way. these plants is the skiff from nature people should should learn how to grow or how to use and how to help other people not to make money. as it is to make money is if would be bad. too.

to our solar power line. making money is exactly what many people are banking on. the early investors hope that being the 1st to break into the market will give them a leg up. and her sister john kwan run rough junk farm in thailand's northeast. they're known for their japanese melons and instagram friendly spots. but now it's one of thailand's newest legal cannabis farms through a collaboration with a bad hospital which buys their crop and paul about. all about what happened he. gives me a tour of their farm is well equipped with greenhouses and

a legally mandated security system if you have to pass locked doors and dozens of cameras before you can get a glimpse of these seedlings they want to. be guarded on to abide by the rules they must keep track of every part of every plant they thought while been taught how to get home if they banged. up but whether made low or about through a white one to hold up on a home. they admit they still have a lot to learn that i'm a burned out. about it but i will. have no doubt. that when i read about people. going. to them i am. growing can amass also needs money and connections most farmers don't have. says some people question their background

who. has had an. alibi. that had a god. that i have been in on. my life when i live. here. they are trying their best to keep costs down by making their own equipment and using solar power it's unclear if they'll ever turn a profit but they are ambitious haven't had it in a. 100. i'm on my way to meet tom cruise at some point a multimillionaire and big time investor he's

a champion of the new law. mr week or so my god was recently. he says well cannabis products can make big money promises that it will the farmers out of poverty are unrealistic. what do you tell the thai farmers now. don't grow. don't grow even if the rules and regulations are clearly going to ask yourself who am i selling the products to i feel bad for a lot of people they're being lied to right because everybody wants the gold rush right everybody went in and says gee let's go dig for gold i mean end up with a lot of water. is it just politics legally on a medical part we kept that promise if you really need it you can come and get it for free. in regard to the economics of it i think where it's normal week on that isn't all politics what in life isn't.

it's been a month since we met the child was a night at the temple. by check in on them. that might have. got. he tells me he's gained 3 kilograms he even cracks a smile when i ask if the oil makes him high. almost. they don't know if the cancer is gone. but like so many involved with the cannabis
