Thailand plans to regulate its growing cannabis industry through new legislation, potentially shelving controversial plans to reverse decriminalization.⁠ ⁠ Anutin Charnvirakul of the Bhumjaithai Party, which spearheaded Thailand’s 2022 historic cannabis decriminalization, has proposed a draft bill to regulate rather than criminalize cannabis, calming tensions within the ruling coalition. The draft law will be debated in parliament, but it remains unclear if there will be a crackdown on recreational use. This move contrasts with Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s earlier push to reclassify cannabis as a narcotic. ⁠ ⁠ Despite ongoing opposition and public protests, the regulatory approach is seen as a compromise to address concerns about cannabis use while maintaining legal access.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ 🤳Click our linkinbio to sign up to our daily newsletter.⁠ ⁠ 📰Follow us for the latest Asian News NextShark⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #news ⁠#thailand #cannabisindustry #recriminalize
