  ganchong

 

Thailand

If a cannabis plant (fig.) contains more than 0.3% of tetra-hydro-cannabinol (THC), it is considered psychoactive and is then in Thai known as gancha. However, a modified version of the plant, with levels of THC lower than 0.3%, is referred to as ganchong and is cultivated for its fibre used to make hemp cord, sacks and bags (fig.).
