As one of the first countries in Asia to legalize medical marijuana in 2019, Thailand has further eased the curbs on its use in textiles, herbal cosmetics and food products. Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul said the wider use of the crop could improve the agriculture and tourism industry in Thailand, which has been seriously affected by the pandemic restrictions. The gov intends to help not only patients, but also academics, producers, visitors, and domestic companies, while defending the Thai market from theft of large pharmaceuticals and intellectual property, as well as bringing international narcotics treaties into account. This leads to a dynamic licensing practice and a diffuse schedule of obligations to ensure that the prescription drug is subject to strict and appropriate practices.
Why is Thailand so popular?
It’s because of the Thai health care system. It’s advanced and affordable, and these are the two most important criteria for would-be medical tourists.
In recent years, Thailand has emerged as a leading destination for medical tourism. The spike in the number of foreign patients shows that Thailand has great potential for medical tourism and will further increase the credibility of Thailand as a destination for medical tourism by enhancing its marketing strategies.
Thailand plans to introduce a curriculum to promote the use of marijuana in meals and cosmetics as the South Asian nation seeks to ride a wave of growing demand for cannabis to lure foreign tourists. The health and education ministries signed an agreement in January 2021 to create a module that will impart training in recipes and methods to produce meals and products from marijuana.
Around the same time, many neighboring countries have also taken steps in the direction of legalization. Thailand recognizes that it is a first-mover beneficiary and seeks to make fast changes to the jurisdiction in order to protect its edge in the cannabis sector’s growth. This indicates their aspirations for the area to become a key player.
In the country, 30,000 users registered online to apply for treatment within three months before legalization, and 140,000 people accessed the health ministry’s cannabis page. 1.06 million potential patients have the most serious conditions available for treatment. A category of 13 million patients is responsible for contributing to the frequency of minor conditions. At least 10% of the patients were able to use medicinal cannabis.
At present, Thailand is the world’s third-most-visited country for medical tourists. In addition, the Minister of Tourism plans to integrate cannabis into a new strategy for tourism. It has been forecasted of $60 MILLION IN 2024 for the MEDICAL CANNABIS TOURISM.
