Following the news of Thailand legalising cannabis, many of the shops have begun selling items that are infused with cannabis.
According to their rules, an item that is infused with cannabis MUST be clearly stated and the amount of marijuana infused should not be more than 0.2%.
Just recently, a Singaporean woman shared her experience in Thailand. She mentioned that her family went there for vacation and decided to have a meal at the eatery located in the hotel.
“I ordered a bowl of soup noodles, and when I had it, it was a really good bowl of soup noodles”, she said.
The next day during breakfast, she decided that she wanted to order the same thing as it was “very delicious.” To her surprise, she realised that next to the name of her dish is a tiny marijuana leaf symbol.
“That’s when I knew the bowl of soup noodles contains marijuana”, she said. She also followed up by saying that the description of the food did not mention anything about containing marijuana. She also thought that the “leaf” on her bowl of soup noodles were Kangkung, so she just ate it!
Unknowing and involuntary consumption of drugs USUALLY not an offence
Singaporean home affairs minister has mentioned that,
“Involuntary or unknowing consumption of drugs is usually not an offence”, but has urged many Singaporeans to be vary of what they’re consuming while on vacation.
The Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) has also stated that “investigations will be held” if urine tests returned positive, regardless of how it has been consumed.
It’s always good to do some research on the laws for cannabis while planning a trip to Thailand. Party safe, people!
