Thailand hospital rolls out cannabis meals Monday, 25 January 2021
From spicy “happy” salads to soups sprinkled with cannabis shoots and deep-fried marijuana leaves a Thai hospital restaurant has rolled out a weed-inspired menu which has curious customers flocking to sample its euphoria-inducing offerings.
Since becoming the first Southeast Asian country to legalize medical marijuana in 2018, Thailand has ploughed ahead on the extraction, distillation and marketing of cannabis oil eager to capitalize on the multibillion-dollar industry.
The plant itself was finally removed from the kingdom’s narcotics list last month, which means licensed providers like hospitals can now use its leaves, stems and roots in food.
