Thailand legalises cannabis trade but still bans
PEOPLE IN THAILAND CAN NOW GROW CANNABIS PLANTS AT HOME AND SELL THE CROP AFTER THE NATION REMOVED MARIJUANA FROM ITS BANNED NARCOTICS LIST.
THE NATION IS THE FIRST TO ADVANCE SUCH A MOVE IN SOUTH-EAST ASIA, A REGION KNOWN FOR ITS STRINGENT DRUG LAWS.
HOWEVER RECREATIONAL USE OF CANNABIS IS STILL BANNED.
THE GOVERNMENT IS HOPING THAT DEVELOPING A LOCAL CANNABIS TRADE WILL BOOST AGRICULTURE AND TOURISM.
IT’S EVEN GIVING AWAY ONE MILLION CANNABIS SEEDLINGS TO CITIZENS TO ENCOURAGE PICK-UP.
FROM THURSDAY, HOUSEHOLDS WILL BE ABLE TO CULTIVATE UP TO SIX CANNABIS POT PLANTS AT HOME, IF THEY REGISTER WITH AUTHORITIES, AND COMPANIES CAN ALSO FARM THE PLANT WITH A PERMIT.
DINERS WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO ORDER CANNABIS-INFUSED DISHES AND DRINKS AT RESTAURANTS.
CLINICS ACROSS THE COUNTRY CAN ALSO MORE FREELY OFFER CANNABIS AS A TREATMENT. THAILAND WAS THE FIRST IN ASIA TO LEGALISE MEDICINAL CANNABIS USE IN 2018.
HOWEVER, USING THE DRUG FOR PERSONAL USE IS STILL ILLEGAL. OFFICIALS HAVE WARNED PEOPLE AGAINST SMOKING IN PUBLIC, SAYING IT’S CONSIDERED A PUBLIC NUISANCE AND OFFENDERS RISK BEING ARRESTED
UNDER THE PLAN THE GOVERNMENT SAYS IT ALSO AIMS TO RELEASE ABOUT 4,000 PRISONERS CONVICTED OF CANNABIS-RELATED OFFENCES.
