Why Doi Chiang Dao is a growing area
- A photo report by Vincent Eschmann (Agence Zeppelin, French, undated; its text mentions the June 2022 decriminalisation) shows the Chiang Dao Cannabis Farm: cannabis grown in greenhouses since 2021 under a Ministry of Public Health licence. It gives no subdistrict or village.
- The status is Active: the farm has grown cannabis since 2021.
Extent and border
- The map border is the whole of Chiang Dao District (OpenStreetMap), about 2,190 km². The page takes the mountain's name; the photo report names only "Chiang Dao", so the district is the unit drawn. Both herbarium sheets lie inside the border.
Herbarium sheets
- Bunchuai 1208 (1962) (Doi Chiang Dao) and Nanakorn 8642 (1999) (Doi Chiang Dao National Park) are named on the page but are not listed as accessions of this area. A sheet joins a growing area only when its label, or a source for that place and time, says the plant was cultivated. The 1962 label reads "Herb, common in plantation, frts. black", which does not say whether the plant was a crop; the 1999 label has no note.
Where the source is unclear
- The Highland Research and Development Institute's hemp page prints a remark of Queen Sirikit dated 27 January 2003 and a place line for the Huai Mae Kiang watershed, Mueang Na subdistrict, Chiang Dao, dated 2004, above two quoted remarks; it does not say which quotation goes with which line. The page therefore names the two years and the place without assigning a quotation to either. The remark is a call to promote hemp among hill farmers, not a report of hemp grown in Chiang Dao.
Not used
- The institute's profile of its Pang Daeng Nai project in Chiang Dao says nothing of cannabis, hemp or opium.
- A 1968 Bulletin on Narcotics article on hill peoples mentions Miao (Hmong) moving from the Chiang Dao area to Mae Chaem in 1959; it concerns opium only.
