One of Thailand’s major fast food chains is promoting its “Crazy Happy Pizza,” topped with a cannabis leaf. It’s legal but won’t get you high. Thailand is the first country in Southeast Asia to remove parts of cannabis from its controlled narcotics list.

Veterans of the backpacker trail, familiar with the legendary pizza parlors of neighboring Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh that offer powerful marijuana as an optional condiment, might feel downright cheated.

In recent years, a kind of middle-ground product has emerged: cannabidiol, or CBD, a chemical found in cannabis that can be processed into what is touted as a cure-all medicine. CBD can be separated out from tetrahydrocannabinol -- THC -- the chemical in cannabis that produces marijuana’s high. Thailand last December became the first country in Southeast Asia to remove specific parts and extracts of cannabis from its controlled narcotics list, and in February this year allowed them to be used in foods and beverages. The amount of THC in the CBD product must not exceed 0.2% of its total weight, virtually eliminating the possibility of getting high.

“We try to get some new ingredients, anything that is in trend, and we use it and we want people to talk about it,” he said.

As a desert I would like the 'happy ending'

promotion of addiction is big task of american propaganda, as well as racism in address of some nations, like Chinees, Koreans, Iranians and so one.

Thailand is the best country for tourists and i could only imagine how much funner it would have been lit

Hemp is food.

Well, some customers are going to want their money back because, you know, there will be no 'crazy happy.'

nice

Target to keep stores closed on Thanksgiving for good | AP NewsNEW YORK (AP) — Target will no longer open its stores on Thanksgiving Day, making permanent a shift to the unofficial start of the holiday season that was suspended during the pandemic. To limit crowds in stores, retailers last year were forced to turn what had become a weekend shopping blitz into an extended event, with big holiday discounts beginning as early as October. Kudos to Target and all the other stores that have also announced closure on Thanksgiving, 👍 Is that news Nearly every store always remained closed on Thanksgiving, sans supermarket/convenience store/gas station. Stores staying closed on Thanksgiving is normal. Only in past couple years a few opened on Thanksgiving, but rare. Why is a store closed on Thanksgiving news? I think all retailers should be closed!
