Before planting the herbs, individuals need to register via the Plookganja app or the http://plookganja.fda.moph.go.th website and get a digital certificate. Applicants need to provide information on the number of plants they intend to grow and explain why. “The app and website crashed by 4pm after receiving 9,023,194 applications,” Panthep Phuaphongphan, spokesman for Public Health Ministry’s committee on communication and public relation for marijuana usage, said on Thursday. “The FDA is working to improve the application and website to accommodate more applicants,” he said. This is in line with the Public Health Ministry’s aim to make marijuana and hemp new cash crops.
