Medical Cannabis in Thailand with Steve Sarich on "A Cup of Joe"

Steve Sarich has been a fierce advocate for liberty, human rights and more specifically, access to cannabis for medical patients, as much as anyone in history.  He has walked the halls of the Washington State Legislature and Agencies for two decades fighting for access to Cannabis for anyone for medicinal reasons. Today he is presently in Thailand. He is stopping by to tell us a wonderful story

As what was described by legislators as a gift to the people, the Thai parliament, on Christmas day, 2018, legalized medical cannabis.

This move sent a shockwave around the world, but nowhere was the impact greater than it was is in the western pharmaceutical industry, who has spent decades wrangling for sole control over the cannabis plant, that they had demonized since the 1970's.

Their response to this surprise announcement was almost instantaneous, filing a total of 39 patents with the Thai patent office in an attempt to stop Thailand from producing medical cannabis for the Asian market.

A mere 5 months after passage, a Thai medical research group at Rangsit University announced that they will begin human trials this month on a drug to treat lung cancer.

This very well could be the sea change that medical cannabis proponents have been pushing for years.  Could this on even, in SE Asia, be the end to the attempt by Big Pharma to lay claim to cannabinoid medicine?
