Malaysia to learn from Thailand on safe, effective use of medical cannabis products

The Health Minister also hoped Malaysia and Thailand will continue to exchange technical knowledge and clinical research on the safe and effective use of medical cannabis products.

Earlier, Khairy visited the Government Pharmaceutical Organisation where he was briefed on the medical cannabis policy in Thailand, including the practices, cultivation methods, research, and the use of cannabis and ketum for health purposes. "I have also asked Anutin to look into the possibility for Malaysia to supply Thailand with raw material of ketum leaves and plants,” he said.

He noted that the cultivation of cannabis also provides a new source of income for farmers and people. "If we are satisfied with the data, that will certainly influence us to open up the use of cannabis for medical purposes,” he said.
