Top officials in Thailand are getting the word out about medical marijuana in an interesting way.
The country’s prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha was seeing using medical marijuana at an event.
Chan-o-cha announced the launch of the government’s medical cannabis education site this week and appeared at an event alongside a person wearing a spectacled marijuana leaf costume called Dr. Ganja. Children were also present, carrying their own Dr. Ganja dolls.
According to The Nation Thailand, the prime minister demonstrated marijuana products, inhaling an oil and applying some to the back of his ears. The prime minister also said he plans to purchase some oils himself.
As per draft legislation in September, individuals in the country are allowed to cultivate up to six cannabis plants for personal use.
