Cannabis legalisation -- a policy platform of the Bhumjaithai Party (BJP) -- was groundbreaking in many ways. The BJP should be proud of fulfilling its electoral promise to voters regarding the legalisation.
While many political parties struggle to deliver electoral promises, in two years the BJP managed to complete the legalisation of cannabis and remove the plant from the narcotics list. But the policy has backfired and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul -- BJP leader -- who previously received roses from pro-cannabis groups, has been under pressure from all directions.
