webfact Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 February Elections Jeopardize Rollout Of Thai Medical Weed By Jintamas Saksornchai, Staff Reporter A local district chief in Loei province confiscates marijuana found there in September. BANGKOK — Health officials said Wednesday that the full rollout of medical cannabis is unlikely to happen as scheduled due to a legislative holdup if February elections go forward and a new government comes to power. Lawmakers have quibbled over details in a broad rewrite of the Narcotics Act that would partially decriminalize a number of drugs including cannabis, kratom and opium. Although companion legislation enabling medical cannabis is close to passage, it would only allow a limited form of it until the revision of the act is in place.

yellowboat Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Or better known as the great junta cash cow. “I want them to know that using marijuana as folk medicine can actually save people’s lives,” Thiravat said. “Although it’s a life-saving method and can improve the quality of life, it’s still illegal.” It could save the livelihoods of Thai farmers, but they just keep forgetting to mention that. All that is lacking is a cunning plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob12345 Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 It seems those damn elections are bringing a lot of trouble, first with tests for students and now with this... I propose postponing the elections for 5-10 years and hope that the new date will be more convenient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srikcir Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 For the promise of a quiet and uncontested election, maybe the military should immediately rollout Thai medical "weed." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have been 'crashing the stash' back in the corn field before the 'confiscation.' He looks happy and hungry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
