In just the first ten days of Thailand’s first official cannabis clinic opening, there has been an overflow of patients.
According to the Nation/Asia News Network, cannabis caregivers at the facility have attended to a staggering 4,639 patients. An additional 12,000 people are seeking appointments until the month of March.
Appointments are arranged by individuals in advance through an application process.
Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul visited the marijuana-based clinic and said that numerous people were interested in cannabis-based therapies and treatment.
Many patients were looking for threatment for chronic pain as well as migraines and insomnia.
It was in 2018 that the country legalized medical marijuana and Kratom. It will soon allow its citizens to cultivate cannabis at home.
