Thailand will establish an International Medical Cannabis Research Center to advance its plan to become a world-class cannabis production and development hub, according to a Benzinga report.
The Public Health Ministry has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with RxLeaf World Medica to create the center, which aims to explore genetic research on medical cannabis, the news outlet reported.
The center will bring together doctors, researchers and experts from Canada, the Netherlands and other countries to exchange medical cannabis knowledge and conduct product research and development, according to Benzinga.
Thailand legalized medical cannabis in 2018, and opened its first full-time cannabis clinic last year.
