Thailand's first full-time cannabis clinic is fully booked until March, with over 12,000 people having signed up for treatment since its January 6th opening.
Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul noted that 4,639 patients visited the clinic in the first ten days, primarily for insomnia, migraines, back pain, and muscle stiffness.
Unlike 25 other part-time cannabis clinics, this facility operates daily, addressing the high demand for cannabis-based traditional and alternative medicine.
The clinic's popularity follows Thailand's 2017 legalization of cannabis for medical use and research, with recent proposals to allow households to grow up to six cannabis plants.
