Popular Post snoop1130 Posted February 2 Popular Post Share Posted February 2 The ONCB-hosted discussion titled “Perspectives and Feedbacks After Cannabis and Krathom Left the Narcotics Act” aimed to garner the opinions of various relevant parties, in hopes of finding ways to prevent children and youth from abusing the two medicinal herbs. Pol. Col. Tawee Sodsong, the minister of justice, asserted that krathom and cannabis were taken off the official list of narcotic substances with the intention of generating medicinal and economic benefits. Their removal from the list was also in hopes of enabling people to use krathom in the traditional way, which has long been prevalent in parts of Thailand. However, the minister noted that misuse or recreational use of these herbs have been detected. Children and youth have also been gaining greater access to krathom and cannabis after the herbs were no longer legally considered as narcotics. According to the justice minister, the discussion saw participation from narcotics experts, academics, and individuals relevant to law enforcement. They exchanged their views on the situation and reflected on the developments that have come about since the removal of the two plants from the narcotics list. The participants sought to urgently bring about monitoring against the spread of cannabis and krathom use among children and youth. They also sought to improve public awareness about the harms of abusing cannabis and krathom to deter people from misusing the herbs.

Popular Post Jingthing Posted February 2 Popular Post Share Posted February 2 I'm all for legalized weed but I'm convinced that habitual use is harmful for youth's developing brains. But it's always tricky to try to stop kids from experimenting. If you make a big deal about it, they only want to use it more. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thingamabob Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 The sincerity of those approving a ban on the recreational use of cannabis is highly dubious unless they also ban the recreational consumption of alcohol, and the smoking of cigarettes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
