BANGKOK, June 11 (The Nation Thailand/ANN): Thailand's Agriculture and Cooperatives Ministry has begun giving away free cannabis plants to people who have registered online with the Agriculture Department. The ministry will give away one million marijuana plants to people who want to grow them at home after cannabis was removed from narcotics list on June 9, said Deputy Agriculture Minister Mananya Thaiset on Friday. “Each household will be allowed two free plants, which means at least half a million households in Thailand will be growing marijuana,” Mananya said. Plants offered for free by the government are a Thai strain called Issara 01, developed by the Department of Medical Services and Department of Agriculture. The ministry aims to give away all 1 million plants before year-end, or 100,000 to 200,000 plants per month.
