A group of cannabis advocates and traders gathered to protest against the possible re-criminalization of cannabis. Thai prime minister said on 08 May the government will re-list cannabis as a narcotic by the end of 2024. In 2022, Thailand became the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize and decriminalize cannabis. The Public Health Minister of Thailand on 06 January 2024 signed a draft legislation regarding the banning of cannabis for recreational use, or in the case of growing for economic purposes, the process must be controlled and approved. The proposed new legislation will focus on regulating the use of cannabis for medical purposes only. EPA/NARONG SANGNAK
