BANGKOK: Thailand’s health minister helped plant cannabis seedlings Thursday as the government nurtures plans to harvest the multibillion-dollar potential of medical marijuana.

The government has invested in the extraction, distillation and marketing of cannabis oils for use in the health industry. In a statement, Anutin said the administration wanted to “support with sincerity patients who need to use cannabis for treatment”. The minister said he hoped the changes could boost rural incomes across the northeast by allowing farmers to grow and sell the plants.
