Dr Surachoke Tangwiwat, FDA deputy secretary-general, said some people were disqualified because they presented forged documents and photos of marijuana plants downloaded from the Net. Surachoke explained that marijuana users were given 90 days since February 19 to register and seek amnesty under the Narcotics Act. Some 150 marijuana users showed up to register in Phitsanulok’s Muang district. Monthasan Suksawat, 65, from Wat Bote district, who needs marijuana for his chronic spine and muscle pain, said he was sent back home to take photographs of the marijuana plants he grows. In Krabi, breast, lung and liver cancer patient Arporn Kulabut, 54, registered her marijuana possession.
