Cannabis in Thailand is NOT going anywhere. Even if Thailand put cannabis back on the narcotics list and legalized it for medical use only, there are so many good strains floating around the kingdom now. The black market will flourish (which is obviously counter productive given the fact that it's a cash crop that should benefit the economy).
No matter what happens in the near future, gone are the days of only scoring (mostly) s**t brick weed, so that's a positive.
Wake up Thailand! Look at the handful of countries where cannabis is legal. Try to integrate some of the laws and policies set up to control and regulate the legal market.
On another note, can't these news sites find a better stock photo?
