“When looking at the ingredients in various food products It’s been found that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) doesn’t allow it at all, but states can issue their own requirements. Some states have a safe short-term dosage of no more than 5 milligrams, but this doesn’t guarantee long-term effects. For example, an average cookie contains 20 milligrams, it’s recommended to eat a quarter of a piece of jelly bear. There are 10 mg per piece, 250 mg per piece of brownies, and there is a recommendation to eat small amounts to see the results. Do not repeat the dose because it can lead to an overdose of cannabis. but in practice The behavior of people is not divided like that. Compared to cookies in Thailand, one cookie was found to contain 0.498 per cent of cannabis by weight, medium was 0.00996 per cent, equivalent to 99 milligrams, which was five times more than US cookies. Therefore, there is a picture of people eating cookies and going to the hospital (hospital), except for people who use marijuana or use them until they are mastered. The newcomer takes a risk. hospital, which last year Australia had a mother and son order cookies to eat but the five-year-old suddenly screamed. Butter contains cannabis. but to cook by myself I don’t know how it was mixed with marijuana that was served to customers,” said Asst. Prof. Dr. Sahapoom.

“That’s the short term effect. The long-term outcome was Mental illness increased 3.9 times, suicide increased 2.5 times, marijuana dependence increased by 10 per cent, school age increased to 17 per cent. There are also learning difficulties, short attention span, and memory problems. Even if it has been discontinued for up to 6 years, the rational use of the brain has not returned. Arterial stenosis of the arms and legs Atrial fibrillation increases the risk of acute and chronic ischemic heart disease associated with testicular and lung cancer.
