Malaysia plans to learn from the cannabis policy of neighboring Thailand in its effort to legalize use of the drug for medical purposes, a health ministry official said on Wednesday, in a country where possession can bring the death penalty now.

The comments came after the Thai health minister said he would meet his Malaysian counterpart during a meeting of APEC health ministers next week where Thailand will showcase its work in legalizing medicinal marijuana.

The Malaysian government was interested in learning from Thailand's framework for medical use, he added. In April, Khairy said the government welcomed clinical studies for the medical use of cannabidiol, a chemical in cannabis that does not impart a "high" to users.
