‘Marijuana express’ trucks turn trendy on Bangkok's streets | Video

Bangkok, Aug 8 (EFE).- Following in the footsteps of the food trucks phenomenon, the new craze in the streets of Bangkok is “marijuana express trucks,” which drive around the city after the decriminalization of cannabis in Thailand two months ago.

Where until recently it was only possible to find marijuana for furtive – and illegal – consumption in some tourist spots, it is now common to find cannabis trucks and dispensaries that openly and legally sell marijuana products and buds across the Thai capital.

On a busy street in the Thonglor neighbourhood, known for its vibrant nightlife, several trucks parked side-by-side advertise their cannabis products under the curious gaze of passers-by. (Camera: NAYARA BATSCHKE).
