Thailand will re-list cannabis as a narcotic by the end of 2024, the nation’s prime minister said on May 7, 2024. The stunning U-turn was made two years after the country became one of the first in Asia to decriminalise the drug for recreational use and despite the rapid growth of the marijuana retail sector. Tens of thousands of shops and businesses have sprung up in Thailand and the industry had been on track to be worth US$1.2 billion by 2025.

We will still be able to get it y’all are stopping nothing at all
Check the news it’s going to parliament for a vote.
Noooooo..Noooooo no fair go mates.
Cannabis should be absolutely just as legal and easy to obtain anywhere as alcohol currently is. In every single state. No exceptions. It’s so easy: As legal and easy to obtain/use as alcohol currently is. Why hold relatively benign, often healing cannabis to any sort of irrational, stricter double standard than perfectly legal alcohol?
They are rolling it back, to reset it benefiting the big corpos only, and they will roll it back out again.
Vote the government OUT 🎉
They don’t want foreigners profiting
People will turn to alcohol which will cause so much more harm than puffing, edibles or dabs etc.
Legalize cannabis federally now. What’s legal to possess and consume in over half of the populated areas of The United States should not make you a criminal in states still being governed by woefully ignorant prohibitionist politicians. Cannabis consumers in all states deserve and demand equal rights and protections under our laws that are currently afforded to the drinkers of far more dangerous and deadly, yet perfectly legal, widely accepted, endlessly advertised and even glorified as an All-American pastime, alcohol. Plain and simple! Legalize Nationwide Federally Now!
Don’t worry, cannabis will stay legal in Thailand…many jobs, many tourists, big money !
Wont be going to thailand then
Ive been watching videos about property in thailand for months now soecifically because they legalized. I hope this doesnt go through.
Yeah, exactly, same with Vapes, those who vape do not smoke cigarettes, and this is less profitable )))
The new buzz Killington
Now those politician get kick out from their position 555 hahaha thailand back for 420 again 😊😊😊😊
Kids who want marihuana get it anyway. And most importantly they get alcohol too anyway. As a kid you can easily overdose and die to alcohol but it is impossbile to die in marihuana. So law makers cant understand this, wonderful.
Money, Power, and Control! We are NOT free people. We are NOT free souls.
Wow.. out of all issues
thats the only reason i wanted to go to thailand…
It should of never been legal except for medical use
Remember most countries top earning business is crime and punishment
It would not be surprising if Thai breweries and Pharma are not behind all this.
I wonder how thailand ended up like this! I mean …the ammount of tran*s , g*ys and now drugs …ect .., it’s not normal at all, crazy!!
Oh, by the way…. If you want to ban something, then ban "Capitalism".
Sad. Probably lobbying from the alcohol industry.
BIG mistake
They can’t pass laws and regulate it like other countries? Instead of right out banning it? sound lazy to me.
Well that 1.2 billion will just move to where it’s legal
Conservatism doing what conservatives do. Backwards to conserve to preserve to keep the same or worse go backwards.
I believe they still need to pass this through parliament as it got passed through an emergency bill
Watch the big money pharma companies get the licences to suply cannabis.
Legalization of marijuana in Thailand was done in a hurry with no extensive study on its long term effects. Thailand has now come back to its senses. Way to go!
well done Thailand…you have dnone well
Children can get ice and yabba easy but the government aren’t stopping that.
The amount of ice and yabba being sold shows there is a big market in Thailand. Children also can get alcohol easy too. Maybe the government can stop alcohol sales and production. The amount of young teens on alcohol and yabba is astonishing.
The government should be focusing on that.
Hahahahahha! The Gov’t is right! If its for medicinal purposes yes. But for recreational no! HAHAHAHAHHAA!
Ban alcohol then…
That’s impossible for them to do at this point but it’s Thailand so you never know
Ummm, that was one of the reasons I was going….
Yes! And you have to be of age to get it and medical card. And signature from doctor too. It’s not a cigarette be walking around with it.
At least they still allow child trafficking tourism. That Mary Jane is evil stuff .
sad news. glad they took the lead to legalize.
not so easy to put the genie back into the bottle.
Why not impose heavy taxes on it to make it unaffordable for locals?
Export it to countries where it is legal.
Pls let me is it legal for now? I gotta visit in 1 month !!!
It continul😂 welcome to Thailand
What crime has gone up? Lol what a joke. One step forward two back.
I will be sure to NOT visit Thailand when I do to SE ASIA soon.
Its relative easy to see whats gonna happen…cannabis will become illegal for the next 2 years and it 2027 people will vote for goverment that would legalise it again…!
policy flipflopping makes the Thai government look like unprofessional retards
