A Las Vegas-based cannabis company has become the first foreign franchise to jointly open a medical marijuana clinic in Thailand, treating Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, cancer, eating disorders, and insomnia in Bangkok’s flashy tourist zone. “I hope that Thailand becomes the Silicon Valley of cannabis for Asia,” the clinic’s Thai partner Julpas Kruesopon – “or as most people in Thailand call me now, ‘Mister Weed,’” said in an interview. “I welcome Israeli companies. I welcome European companies. The key is to grow the industry,” Julpas said. Their Herbidus Medical Center opened on March 7 along Bangkok’s main Sukhumvit Road, which is lined with restaurants, hotels, massage parlors, sex bars, and extravagant shopping malls amid exotic sleaze and 5-star venues. The US-Thai joint venture “makes us, to the best of our knowledge, the first international company with an operational presence in the Asian legal cannabis market,” Audacious CEO Terry Booth said in a statement. Julpas said theirs was “absolutely” the first joint cannabis clinic with a foreign company in Thailand. It “will be an exceptional opportunity to establish the Audacious brand internationally,” Booth said.
