Over 100 People Gather to Petition Against Cannabis Recriminalization at Pattaya City Hall

 

At 11:00 AM, on June 26th, 2024, over 100 cannabis supporters, including local and foreign individuals, gathered in front of Pattaya City Hall to sign a petition against the reclassification of cannabis as a type 5 illegal narcotic substance. Participants also shared their opinions on a white canvas displayed on the city wall.

This gathering followed a public consultation period from June 11th to 25th, during which approximately 100,000 people participated. According to Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsuthin, over 80% of participants allegedly supported the reclassification of cannabis as a narcotic.

 

Mr. Jirawat Tanyapirom, one of the cannabis supporters, stated that the purpose of the gathering was to oppose the reclassification of cannabis. He urged the Thai government to recognize the overall benefits of cannabis and thoroughly review the decision.

There must be close to 100 shops in town! 

I actually think 100 protesters indicates there isn't that much support for Cannabis legalization.... or are they all at home just chillin'?
