Thailand serves up cannabis cuisine to happy customers

 泰國供應大麻美食給開心的顧客

【摘要2021.1.23.自由】周虹汶

“Giggling bread” and “joyfully dancing salad” aren’t the usual dishes on a menu in Thailand, but one eatery is hoping its cannabis-infused cuisine can lure foreign tourists and take the taboo out of the recently legalised leaf.

「咯咯笑麵包」和「樂舞沙拉」不是泰國菜單上的尋常菜色,但一家小餐館希望它加了大麻的美食能引誘外國遊客,並擺脫這種近來合法化的大麻葉的禁忌。

The restaurant at the Chao Phya Abhaibhubejhr Hospital in Prachin Buri started serving its own happy meals this month, after Thailand de-listed cannabis as a narcotic, allowing state-authorised firms to cultivate the plant.

在泰國將大麻自毒品除名並准許政府授權的企業種植這種植物後,這家設在巴真武里府昭披耶河阿拜布別澤醫院的餐廳,本月開始供應它的快樂餐。

“Cannabis leaves, when put in the food or even a small amount ... it will help the patient to recover faster from the illness,” said Pakakrong Kwankao, the project leader at the hospital.

該醫院這項計畫的主持人帕卡克隆.寬考說,「當把大麻葉放進食物,或是甚至只有少量它會幫助病人從疾病中較快恢復。」

“The cannabis leaf can improve appetite and make people sleep well, and also be in a good mood.”Reuters

「大麻葉可以促進食慾,並幫助人們好睡,還能有好心情。」(路透)
