Cannabis-infused food and drink products are not for everyone

13 Sept 11:44 Key points summarised by AI

Thailand decriminalized cannabis for health, medical, and economic benefits, not recreational use, leading to a rapid proliferation of cannabis-infused food and drink products.
Regulations mandate edibles contain less than 0.2% THC by weight and require clear customer warnings, yet studies show many products, particularly beverages, frequently exceed these legal THC limits.
Health experts warn that cannabis edibles affect individuals differently, and overconsumption can cause severe side effects such as nausea, dizziness, anxiety, and increased heart rate, emphasizing the need for cautious consumption and adherence to guidelines.
Public safety concerns are escalating due to incidents of accidental ingestion, severe adverse reactions, and youth overdoses, highlighting the urgent need for stricter controls, comprehensive public education, and robust age restrictions.

"Bright at Midnight" marks the first institutional exhibition in Asia of Dutch conceptual artist Bas Jan Ader, showcasing his enigmatic work at Bangkok Kunsthalle until January 10, 2027.
The exhibition delves into Ader's legacy, exploring themes of vulnerability and the ephemeral, made more poignant by his 1975 disappearance at sea during an art project.
It encourages viewers to engage with art beyond its material form, featuring key pieces like "Thoughts unsaid, Then forgotten," "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks," and the haunting film "Launch of the Ocean Wave."
A highlight is the planned live transformation of "Light vulnerable objects threatened by eight cement bricks" in 2026, where ropes will be cut, creating a new layer of art from the destructive impact.
The exhibition challenges conventional art consumption, advocating for a deeper appreciation of conceptual and research-driven artistic practices over mere fascination with art as an asset class.
