BANGKOK (NNT) - Following the unlocking of marijuana and hemp for medical and commercial purposes, preparations are being made to remove Kratom from the narcotics list.

 

Minister of Justice Somsak Thepsutin, as chairman of the committee considering amendment to legislation criminalizing narcotics, declared this week that a report is being compiled for the House of Representatives that will call for the decriminalization of Kratom to be placed on the government’s agenda. The move will be made at the end of this month and appropriate use of the plant could be decriminalized in 90 days after a decision is made in Parliament. The committee will review relevant drafts during the proceedings.

 

Democrat Party MP Thepthai Senpong, who is a member of the body, indicated a positive decision would allow Thais to utilize the plant legally for any purpose except as a narcotic.

Oh I wish, Kratom is the perfect post workout recovery herb. Sore muscles? Take bit of the dried leaves, and ready to go again. Legal in most countries around the world, except for its native Thailand. I tried it in my home country of course.

Do wish media would "cancel" the word marijuana haha. Marijuana has a sinister past (to slur Mexico's "locoweed") and we should simply refer to the original name of cannabis or hemp for industry.

Who would have thought so many US states would have decriminalised cannabis for recreational use ten years ago? I've seen some worrying behaviours with it, but not nearly as bad as many people think. Sugar, fats cause more problems, and alcohol is off the scale.

Wonder which Asian country will be first to let it run completely?

OMG.  Don't do it. 

Can you imagine Thais chewing kratom in public like zombies!!!!

Thailand will dissolve as a nation due to kratom addiction.
