Bhumjaithai Party leader Anutin Charnvirakul has dismissed claims that his party mishandled Thailand’s cannabis policy. He maintains that Bhumjaithai always focused on legalising cannabis for medical use and had proposed a bill that was blocked by coalition partners. He supports the current government's move to reclassify cannabis as a narcotic under a medical framework. Now in opposition, Anutin also reaffirmed Bhumjaithai’s firm stance against legalised casinos, stating the party only compromised while in government. With greater independence, he says Bhumjaithai will now take clearer, uncompromised positions on major national issues.
