Thai Cannabis Sellers Give Opinions on New Government’s Proposal to Redesignate Cannabis as a Narcotic

[snoop1130]

 

Thai cannabis sellers gave their thoughts on the Move Forward Party-led coalition’s plan to regulate and redesignate cannabis as a narcotic.

 

In clause 17 of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), Move Forward leader Pita Limjaroenrat, who also leads the coalition that is likely set to form Thailand’s next government, declared the return of marijuana to the controlled narcotic list, with regulations in place to monitor and ensure the medical benefits of marijuana usage.

 

This caused conflicting thoughts within Thai society regarding the clarity of the plant’s legal status. Some of Thailand’s estimated thousands of cannabis shop operators like Nadgan@Pattaya came out to express his disagreement with the decision stating that marijuana has more benefits than drawbacks.

... don't see the general public having a problem with weed either, not really. Regulate a couple technicalities and be done with it.

 

Now it's just being used for political f-wittery, certainly not a first so no surprise at all ...
