Abstract

Thailand's health ministry is seeking approval from Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin's cabinet to ban the recreational use of cannabis. This proposal comes as a reversal of a previous landmark legislation that decriminalized cannabis in 2022. The government aims to limit cannabis use to medical and health-related purposes, citing concerns over addiction. If approved, this draft bill would make Thailand the first country in Asia to ban recreational marijuana. [Extracted from the article]
