Thailand to Permit the Use of Cannabis in Cosmetics

Following the legalization of medical cannabis in February 2019, the Thai government has proposed a plan in late November to expand the application scope of cannabidiol (CBD) and hemp to food and cosmetics, Bangkok Post reported ^[1]. The parts of cannabis and hemp plants containing extremely low content of psychoactive component tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), such as the leaves, branches, stems, trunks, bark, fiber, and roots, will be dropped from the government's narcotics list. Euphoria-inducing flowers and shoots will still remain outlawed.
