Cannabis: Thailand Wants to Ban Recreational Marijuana
Cannabis: Thailand Wants to Ban Recreational Marijuana
The days of legal recreational cannabis use in Thailand may soon be coming to end, barely two years after it became the first South East Asian country to decriminalize the drug. The Thai Cabinet will review a draft law this month with an aim to ban recreational use by the end of the year, impacting thousands of businesses. Bloomberg’s Paul Allen reports.
Weed isn’t even a big deal.
I believe you neee to get it control and you need to be scripted so only is access by medical use which is good im on medical in Australia i think having access om the street doesnt look good & the smell that is coming off & family with new born
Big mistake..
instead of adapting the law and creating a few new clear regulations, they just press the shut down button – as a result, ppl loose their income, million-dollar industry is canceled and investors are gone. how disappointing is that?
Thailand knows it’s the devil
Legal recreational use is probably hurting the alcohol and tobacco market. ๐๐๐
Very stupid Thailand
There are public health reasons for proposing a ban on recreational marijuana use, but such a measure could lead to unintended consequences. For example, medical or authorized patients might leak their products to tourists, potentially increasing illegal activity and creating dangers associated with drug trafficking. Additionally, both tourists and residents, when denied legal access, might resort to obtaining unregulated and potentially more potent products. This could lead to increased interactions with potentially dangerous individuals on the street and create tensions between police and tourists. Therefore, a more nuanced approach may be necessary before implementing a full ban. Perhaps a partial ban could be considered as an initial step. Banning recreational marijuana use altogether could create as many problems as when it was fully banned worldwide, and this does not sound good like a good idea at all, and i’m not saying that marijuana is an entirely harmless drug without it’s risks, although cigarettes are plain simply harmful and do not serve purpose, red wine and some few selection of wines with small amounts of alcohol is tolerated by the body and can be consumed in moderation, hard liquors, i would recommend against, as much you wouldn’t like a too high potency product for the first time, since it’s unpredictable effects and health effects may not be necessarily determined by dosing and any amount of dosing could cause a person to feel effects that are too intense for the first timer.
the way she say marijuana โคโค
But drinking is fine lol
Indian weed๐๐๐
Good on Thailand ๐ finally a country understanding the shit effects of this skunk shit stinking drug. Hopefully all other countries follow, enough is enough
Expect a big pushback from industry leaders, growers and people in general soon. This will be reversed.
The problem here isnt them banning the weed. Its the fact that they made it legal. Introducing weed as a recreational thing only to make it illegal so. People will still use and it will just become an underground market
I just came back from bkk, most of those businesses are barely surviving !
Banning weed means nothing! As simple as that
If they close stores you can buy it online with free delivery
legal or not it was always available in almost every reggae bar….
As usual, Thailand makes most there money with prison and hookers
Social harm? Truly Pathetic.
These guys donโt mind their children becoming alcoholics haha
So is the government going to compensate the business they lead on?? So much money invested.
horrible decision
They are stupid as fuc* if they make it illegal again ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT ๐ ๐ ๐ THEY GIVE UT TO THE PEOPLE AND THEN TAKE IT AWAY ๐๐๐๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ข๐ข๐ข
How dare they make the plant illegal? People are so ignorant. ๐

"…but not at the expense of public health."
What evidence do you have to suggest Recreational Marijuana use is worse for you then Alcohol and Cigarettes!? In fact everything shows the opposite.
Sure its not great for your lungs to smoke anything. But show me a report of anyone dying from Marijuana use.
Or anyone with Lung Cancer from Marijuana use only. I will wait…
They say cannabis lead to other drugs, which is a lie. That is a topic easy to research, but the Thai gov is totally backwards and can’t seem to understand logic. A big disappointment, they could have lead Asia into a better, more financial stable future.
Should i cancel my trip then?๐
Thailand is a hard pass for me. I’m sure there are nice things but too much dirtbag tourism for my tastes.
i’m a grower and seller by my self , and i’m gonna lose job again so sad to greedy and studpid gov
fools.
You Drink Booze get a Liver disease, Smoke Ciggerttes until you die of lung cancer, but you cant smoke Marijuana how stupid? I was just about to go, But Thailand lost my Money and my Buisness, Im staying in the USA, Very stupid their Loss ..
Legalizes, builds up an even bigger economy around it, not only the black market, then illegalizes recreational use because "oh no the kids are gonna smoke". So you basically said we decriminalize it, still kind of do, but now everyone below the age of becoming an adult is going to buy laced black market shit where who knows what’s inside. But alcohol and tobacco are still allowed recreationally.
Big brain move right there Thailand.
Who is spreading this bullshit around here?????? To my knowledge no decision about anything has been made ๐๐๐
Noooo! ๐ญ
coming from years of experience, Thailand needs to understand people will get Cannabis regardless of if it’s legal or not that’s why the black market exists. Teenagers are better off smoking Cannabis than drinking alcohol & it’s also a lot safer, teenagers are vulnerable under the influence of Alcohol.
๐๏ธ โ๏ธ โฎ๏ธ
Its always a small group of party poopers talking fear not even truth
Marijuana is bad, but alcohol and cigarettes are good?????
Whatttt???
Bye bye Thailand
Horrible news. Disappointing.
Good..they where charging to high a price per g.
Good, i support thailand. It needs quality tourists not junkies
hmmm, what about parents being concerned about alcohol? Crickets there huh?
Last time I was there it was annoying. Other tourirsts smoking everywhere. Can hardly enjoy the beaches, or go for hike without smelling a skunks ass. At minimum ban the public smoking of it, edibles, i dont care.
Welp, there goes a few billion out of Thai people’s pockets. Back to the Stone Age!.
your can drink or smoke cigs all you want….nothing to see here!
Keep it legal Thailand!
Donโt do it! Imagine all the jobs it creates for Thai people:
"7,000 dispensaries" lol Good luck with that! ๐ For comparison, California since 2016 has 3,659 dispensaries, while the USA has about 15,000! (Source: flowhub)
