Thailand could be an example of how "health could bring wealth" based on the successful policy of cannabis use for medical treatments, says Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul.
Mr Anutin, who is also a deputy prime minister, on Thursday made the remarks during the opening ceremony for a meeting on health and the economy that was part of a five-day Apec health meeting in Bangkok which ends today.
He said the Thai government supports the use of cannabis for medical treatment, adding that proper use of the plant can boost people's health and their wealth.
