How Thailand went from war on drugs to cannabis curries – BBC News
Thailand now has one of the world’s most liberal marijuana regimes.
The country legalised cultivating and consuming cannabis in June, reversing a hard-line approach of long prison sentences or even the death penalty for drug offences.
The regime has sparked off a boom in weed-related businesses hoping to cash in on a new customer base.
The BBC’s South East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head reports on what’s behind the dramatic change.

Lets go ireland !!why are we taking so long
WaJAHkoya next for KENYA!!
There’s different strength of weed and some can literally blow your head off terrible paranoia etc. So if legalised you can choose the milder ones if you want instead of Russian roulette off some random scrubbbers.
If the hole world smoke weed at the same time be world peace for 10mins followed by a mass food shortage! 🤔

What is neonatal fatality and complications from use of opiods in that country. How does WHO look upon this trade. If there is a tradition and time tested use, I suppose it rests within their realm .
South America it’s way better we don’t kill people over drugs , backwards fools
UK gov need to wake up they’re wasting billions of tax payers money on enforcing laws over a plant that is almost worldwide been legalised or decriminalize. Our old fools in parliament are scratching their arses and stealing from the UK everhday.
What now happens to all those languishing in jail as a result of the radical cannabis laws earlier in place? So many lives lost as a result of this brutal cannabis laws by the same govt celebrating it now.

Next! Same sex marriage legally law is coming soon. So amazing Thailand indeed! 👍❤️🇹🇭🏳️🌈💑👩❤️👩
I think cannabis should be legal. It is a mild euphoric, a mild sedative, a pain reliever & not addictive. We women were not allowed to smoke, but you can make a tea from it.
The world will legalize weed and a certain element of detachment from this reality will take a further step back. Just like in prisons world wide, there must be some inflow of drugs to keep the prisoners docile. Opening up the drug trade, broadening the use of cannabis makes people happier, less apt to take up arms and disagree, and it makes them willing to submit to the dominant paradigm.
thailand on my bucket list now haha
UK 🇬🇧 should wake up & smell the profits old fashion outdated law, the food industry will sure benefit
WAJAHKOYAH 🇰🇪🇯🇲

Cannabis can greet lots of things. No need to wear masks. It looks stupid so. Beware of the health potential of this plant, not only the business side.

Meanwhile, British folks are in PRISON in the UK!
Oh yeah… AND Thailand.
When are drugs going to be decriminalised in a sensible manner in all countries?
When are Pardons going to be granted and criminal records deleted?
Ha ha ha money talks ….
I’m sold. Next stop Bangkok
I have found their drama that reflected a highest level of a Murder , Human naturally born with a simple sense when they reach to the real point of their own situation . When the enemy show it exactly of want their desire to do that people who work for the hotel and a group of politicians plus the Gen. and that southern ‘s actress.
That’s rope weed in their hands.
Don’t trust now.
Long way to go .. trust them no way . Gay anunaki freaky king needs to be kicked out
thank you and thank you BBC
The UK must follow Uruguay, Canada, Thailand and others and adopt 21st century cannabis laws!
The Thai people would sell their own mother for money
This will atract even more of the trashy tourist variety. Thailand is not quality for tourists.
also just be careful of fraudulent visa that Mafia in pipeline construction will grant for their relatives and for black money, just be careful of your supervisor that he/she might be trying to intimidate your personal life- ask her if she is allows to questions others – No respect.
Well done Thailand
Bring d dark side out n rebrand it as the empire. Music 🎵
