Get off the grass, it's for hospital useMarijuana plants are grown in a greenhouse at Suranaree University of Technology in Nakhon Ratchasima to supply a hospital in Buri Ram where the plant will be turned into medical cannabis. The plants will be given to a hospital in Buri Ram to produce Thai herbal medicine on a commercial scale. The university built international-standard greenhouses, equipped with special cooling systems, to plant cannabis for medical purposes earlier this year and saplings were planted inside. The greenhouses were built on an area of 3,090 square metres to plant 5,760 cannabis plants. The first cannabis plants were duly harvested yesterday and their flowers will be collected next month.
