Report Thailand to Reclassify Cannabis as Controlled Substance
Thailand Tightens Cannabis Distribution with New Regulations Screenshot via Amarin TV Public Health Minister Somsak Theopsuthin has announced new measures to regulate cannabis distribution, focusing on medical use and ending its free availability across Thailand. The announcement on 24th June revokes the 2022 directive and now categorises cannabis flowers as a controlled herb. Under the latest regulations, anyone interested in studying, researching, exporting, selling, or processing cannabis must secure a licence under Section 46. Compliance with various conditions, including detailed reporting to the Director-General, is mandatory. Sellers must also ensure their products are sourced from farms certified by the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine for good cultivation and harvesting standards. The regulations explicitly prohibit the sale of cannabis through vending machines, online platforms, and within certain public venues, such as temples, dormitories, public parks, zoos, and amusement parks. Only medical professionals are permitted to purchase cannabis in business settings. Minister Somsak made it clear that this decision is unrelated to the Bhumjaithai Party’s recent departure from the Pheu Thai-led coalition government. The party previously played a significant role in the legislation decriminalising marijuana on 9th June 2022, which allowed the possession and use of all cannabis parts, provided the tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) content does not exceed 0.2%. Cannabis flowers, known as "buds," are of particular interest due to their cannabinoids and terpenes, which are responsible for the plant’s psychoactive effects and potential health benefits. These flowers, exclusively from female plants, must be dried before consumption. This regulatory development marks a significant shift in Thailand’s cannabis policy, balancing previous liberalisations with controlled oversight. The government’s focus remains on ensuring the safe and medically appropriate use of cannabis, mitigating concerns about recreational misuse. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Thai Newsroom 2025-06-25 -
