LIL BUDS - THAILAND'S UNIQUE LIL CANNABIS MASCOT

We firmly believe that cannabis deserves an adorable and friendly mascot to represent its good-natured side. Luckily, Thailand proudly became the first Asian country to legalize cannabis, and we've happily embraced the mantle of representing cannabis in this new way to tackle unique Asian hurdles.

A BIT OF HISTORY

Cannabis has a long history in Thailand, where it was traditionally used for various purposes, including as a medicinal herb and in cultural and religious practices from India to the Kingdom of Siam. Cannabis was referred to as "ganja" in the region and was consumed both recreationally and for its therapeutic properties.

However, In the mid-20th century, Thailand, like many other countries, began to implement strict drug policies, including cannabis. The 1979 Narcotic Act imposed a complete ban on the use and possession of cannabis, leading to a period of stringent enforcement.

CHALLENGING THE TABOO - ONE SMILE AT A TIME

Cannabis has often been the subject of stigma, taboo and misconceptions. At Lil Buds, we acknowledge its diverse qualities, from its healing properties to its knack for bringing people together. Our delightful cannabis plushies are designed to soften the conversation and invite everyone to see the gentle and approachable aspects of this remarkable plant!
Thailand's history is deeply woven with cannabis, particularly in the Kingdom of Siam, where ganja was cultivated for its medicinal prowess. We're drawing inspiration from this rich cultural heritage to encourage responsible and positive cannabis use. Our plushies, in their cuddly form, provide a gateway to exploring this history and reshaping the narrative around cannabis, making it more accessible and inviting.
