Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul on Wednesday said that further liberalisation of cannabis for recreational use is possible in the future if the public accepted it.

Speaking at a "Meet the Press: Cannabis" event, organised by the Department of Public Relations, he said that a new cannabis law has an opening that would allow for an amendment via a committee to legalise the recreational use of cannabis in the future.
