General Description of Student and Researcher Activities:

Cannabis is an addictive and medicinal plant that has long existed in Thai society. In addition, herbal medicines in many countries are used to relieve, cure and treat diseases. Currently, cannabis is being promoted in medical uses which require a system of control, research and innovative development about cannabis to be used for medical uses with high effectiveness.

Knowledge and research in cannabis and herbal sciences are essential for herbal products development. The development of Thai herbal pharmacopoeia is set as a standard for controlling the quality of herbal medicines and is used in a reference for the registration of herbal drugs. This provides consumers with confidence in the quality, efficiency and safety of commercial herbal medicines.

Herbal research with scientific research procedures is critical to improve herbal quality at the laboratory-level, industrial-scale production and the national-level use of herbs. This encourages the expansion of our basic knowledges to increase the potential in competition in the ASEAN community.
