Bangkok, Thailand-May 22, 2024-Marijuana shops are seen throughout Khaosan Road on May 22, 2024 in Bangkok, Thailand. The Thai government has stated plans to re-criminalize cannabis by the end of the year, limiting its use strictly to medical purposes, reversing its 2022 decision to decriminalize recreational use. This comes amidst concerns about rising drug addiction despite the rapid growth of the cannabis retail sector, with over 2 million farm licenses awarded and many Thais relying on income from cannabis in the tourism industry post-pandemic.

World & Nation

Marijuana was supposed to help Thailand. Why is the country planning to ban it again?

Two years ago Thailand became the first country in Asia to decriminalize marijuana. As in California, it hasn’t worked out as planned.
