Increasing the Use of Cannabis as “Medicine”
Organic Gangsta Times is an informational media platform for people who want to understand and use medical cannabis safely as a form of medicine. Kei, a cannabis bonsai cultivator living in Thailand—where medical cannabis is legal—explains the basics of medical cannabis, along with important precautions, in a clear and accessible way based on the latest research data. Because the creator is directly involved in the cannabis business on the ground in Thailand, the site also continuously shares real, up-to-date insights into regulatory changes and the actual state of the cannabis industry locally. In addition, drawing from personal experience with depression and the use of medical cannabis as part of mental health care—helping not only with emotional balance but also with organizing thoughts and feelings—the platform publishes articles related to depression and mental health. By combining firsthand experience with reliable information, Organic Gangsta Times aims to provide a calm, practical, and realistic perspective.
Official Organic GangstaChanging the Perception of “Cannabis = Negative”
I lived in New York for nearly ten years, and during that time, I rarely felt that cannabis was viewed in a purely negative way. After moving to Thailand, however, I began to strongly realize that in many countries and regions, cannabis is still associated with a deeply negative image. There are many factors behind this perception, but one major reason, in my view, is the lack of responsible behavior within cannabis culture itself. As long as this image remains unchanged, younger generations who become involved in the cannabis industry in the future will likely face the same misunderstandings and internal conflicts that we have experienced. Living in the present, I take action from both cultural and responsibility-based perspectives so that the future cannabis industry can grow into something healthier and more sustainable.

In 2026, we plan to open a Cannabis Bonsai Gallery on the second floor of a dispensary located in the Ekkamai area of Bangkok, a neighborhood where many Japanese residents live. This exhibition space features cannabis bonsai created from the same strains as the dried cannabis sold at the dispensary. Visitors will be able to observe cannabis flowers up close before harvest, enjoy their natural aromas, and compare the differences in scent between fresh flowers and those after drying—offering a truly unique and immersive experience. We also sell limited-edition items from Pocket Organic Gangsta, so if you’re visiting Thailand, please feel free to stop by and explore.
