BHUMJAITHAI PARTY leader Anutin Charnvirakul yesterday (Oct. 18) shrugged off a reported plan of the opposition bloc to file an unprecedented lawsuit against the second-largest coalition party over their free-marijuana campaign.

 

Anutin who concurrently performs as deputy prime minister-cum-public health minister contended that his party’s electoral campaign to legalise the medical use and household production of marijuana nationwide had been approved by the Election Commission before it was propagated during the 2019 general election, thus refuting allegations that it had been carried out in violation of the relevant law as charged by Pheu Thai party leader Chonlanan Srikaew.

 

The Bhumjaithai campaign to promote the medical use and household production of marijuana had also been declared at parliament as part of the current government’s policies following the previous general election, Anutin said.

The incumbent "Govt" has achieved one thing in it's time in power and the "opposition" want's to tear it down, TIPT! This is Planet Thailand!

what a bong show this place is.

Cum-public health minister has a ring to it and when I see his face its confirmed ????

Is the opposition party anything to be taken seriously? Doesn’t appear so looking it up but they have made some realistic headlines. 

Wait, no it says they’re just filing a lawsuit lol, that’s not going to stop anything no wonder Anutin is not concerned about it. 

They realize that a lawsuit doesn’t reverse any laws right? Even if they win. 

Chonlanon/Pheu Thai are wasting their time if they think legal action in this case is going anywhere. A  focus on meth, guns and knives would be far more worthwhile.
