PM Prayut eager for medical marijuana to be legal in Thailand

[Jonathan Fairfield]

Legalized medicinal cannabis proposals

 

 

BANGKOK, 22nd September 2018 (NNT) – Invoking Article 44 of the interim constitution to legalize medical marijuana is merely an idea raised by the academic sector, says Deputy Prime Minister ACM Prajin Juntong. 

DPM Prajin who is also the Minister for Justice said on Friday that the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) and the Ministry of Public Health are looking into the benefits of medical marijuana as well as measures to regulate marijuana agriculture, adding that the government will be able to answer more questions in October when it receives all the important information from the two agencies. 

He noted that the prime minister is eager to see a medical marijuana law pass the National Legislative Assembly. The law is now being reviewed by the assembly’s vetting committee. 

As for the proposal to legalize the medical use of marijuana by enforcing Article 44, DPM Prajin said the idea is far-fetched but the government has yet to accept or reject the proposal.

He has probably got 22,000 Rai just given to him by a dead man, already prepared for growing it ,  at a vast income and under his own section 44 license obviously !!

Yes exactly,many people will come here for treatment.

I have met US citicens in Amsterdam and they were happy as a baby in a topless bar.

Might turn out to be a shrewd move .. Fiddle about with any possible forthcoming election to endure the right result whilst the populace is stoned and therefore couldn't give a stuff about diddling ..

Very true but maybe he is already smoking the wacky backy because some of his statements suggest he is often as high as a kite

The master of indecision is performing at his exceptional best.

It can be quoted on February 9th this year........ PM Prayut squashed allegations of the Thai government giving the green light for the cultivation of a medical Marijuana.

An unsurprising switcheroo with an election coming and where votes are important.

He would sell his soul to the devil.

Yes you did, questionable sanity! ?

[Catkiwi]

I was thinking of retiring but I think, on the strength of this little gem of information, I may reconsider. I have a few Rai that would support the production of a huge crop. May have to get an import license for a container load of Aotearoa Gold seeds...

If Prayut invokes Article 44 and legalizes medical marijuana, he's got my vote for PM for life.

So would most politicians around the world, they would probably throw in their mothers in the deal.

+1.

If he follows through on this it will be the smartest political move he's ever made.

[steelepulse]

Free medical marijuana for the populace and he just might win an election.

1. Money in to be made

2. How long it will take to make it. 

 

Conscripts will have new duties soon: tilling the earth and planting giggle smoke.  Does Maryjane lessen violent tendencies ?  If no more conscripts die, it is an acceptable solution.  They may put on weight though.  Booming trade to have a snack shack near a base.

Perhaps, but it's still "only" medical marijuana, not the same as recreational marijuana.

I see a walk in medical clinic as a new biz opportunity for the medical entrepreneurs out there.

If it was legalised then it would open the door for farmers to grow hemp and maybe just maybe get a lot of people out of debt.

Yes it would, but only if they legalize the recreational stuff. I doubt they will.
