Report Thailand Tightens Cannabis Laws, Dispensaries Must Transform
File photo (AP Photo/Sakchai Lalit) In a significant move to regulate cannabis use in Thailand, the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine has announced that all cannabis dispensaries must transition into medical clinics to continue operating legally. The department's chief, Dr Somlerk Jeungsmarn, highlighted this change as part of new ministerial regulations focused on medical usage, tightening the existing cannabis laws. Central to this regulation is the requirement for dispensaries to have a licensed medical professional on-site, authorised to sell cannabis. To meet these criteria, dispensaries must register as hospitals or clinics under the Hospital Act. Additionally, new guidelines will dictate the issuance of prescriptions necessary for acquiring cannabis products for medical purposes. Thailand currently boasts 18,000 licensed cannabis shops; however, only a limited number currently meet the criteria of a hospital or clinic. With licence renewals for 12,000 retailers scheduled for November, compliance with these new regulations will be mandatory. Dr Jeungsmarn stated, "If they want to sell cannabis, they will have to switch to being a hospital or clinic under our new regulation; otherwise, they won't be able to sell it." He anticipates these regulations will be enforced within the next three months as the deadline for licence renewals approaches. This shift marks an end to the sale of cannabis for recreational purposes, aligning entirely with medical applications. Observers note this could significantly alter the landscape of cannabis sales in the country. Furthermore, the department aims to regulate the prices of cannabis medical products, ensuring affordability and accessibility. Over 9,000 doctors have been trained and authorised to issue the necessary prescriptions, supporting the transition to a medically focused cannabis industry. This initiative represents a crucial pivot in how Thailand manages cannabis, reflecting broader global trends towards carefully regulated medical use. As the country positions itself within this framework, stakeholders, including dispensary owners and medical professionals, are urged to adapt to ensure compliance and continued operation. Financial implications are also in focus, as the industry prepares for changes that may affect pricing and availability. This regulatory overhaul seeks to not only control use but also guide the industry towards a sustainable medical model, benefiting both patients and the healthcare system. As the November deadline looms, dispensary owners are encouraged to seek guidance and comply with the upcoming regulations to ensure their businesses remain operational and contribute to Thailand's evolving medical cannabis landscape.

'Disgraceful’: Critics blast Trump for latest move 'doing Putin’s bidding’
Fears Of Disaster Brewing For Ukraine As U.S. Halts Weapons Shipments Over Stockpile Concerns Ukrainian officials say that despite media reports that the Trump administration is halting the delivery of critical air defense interceptors and other munitions, at least some U.S. arms continue to be provided and they have not been informed that these transfers will no longer be made. The news comes at a particularly critical time, as Russia has stepped up its aerial attacks. Earlier this week, Moscow launched its largest air barrage of the war, firing 477 drones and 60 missiles, according to the Ukrainian Air Force. Overall, major and relatively sudden shortfalls in planned weapons deliveries could have wide-ranging impacts on the battlefield. On Wednesday, a top aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the Patriot interceptors are still being provided. “Deliveries are ongoing as of today,” Mykhailo Podolyak, advisor to the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, told the Ukrainian FREEDOM TV news outlet. “It would look very strange — it would look inhumane — to stop supplying interceptor missiles, especially for Patriot systems, which clearly and significantly protect civilians across Ukraine.” More: https://www.twz.com/news-features/fears-of-disaster-brewing-for-ukraine-as-u-s-halts-weapons-shipments-over-stockpile-concerns -
