Any suggestions for a Long Term Visa internship working in agriculture science and/or medical cannabis ?

I am an American (West Coast) entrepreneur in the regenerative cannabis and Permaculture movements with a university science degree who turned into a soil biology nerd and studied Korean Natural Farming (KNF) for the last 20 years from a laboratory.

In Thailand (on and off) for almost a year now, traveling all around this great country and as an ecologist and agriculturalist, it's too perfect. I don't want to leave, much to learn.

Starting to think about creative ways to learn and share in return for a Long Term Visa.

Medical Cannabis (endocannabinoid system and the entourage effect) is one of my specialties.

There is obviously a market for it….

I have taken the time to research the modern “political scene” of Thailand specifically with regards to cannabis.

I understand there is a strong desire for this plant to remain medicine and not to be abused in any way.

I agree and it would be a dream to be able to work with that blessed plant in this great country.

Farming, Soil Health and Agroforestry in Thailand would be amazing too.

Any ideas?

Thanks for your time

I’m in Phuket on a non-O retirement visa. I understand I cannot work, but is there any way I can buy a 50% ownership in an existing business? If not, is it possible for me to switch to a type of visa that will permit me to buy part ownership in an existing business? I do not intend to work at the business, just be a passive investor, but I need to be an owner or shareholder of record.
