The Ministry of Public Health is pushing for a new regulation on cannabis before the next government takes office, with the draft now under review by the Office of the Council of State.
The regulation would mark a major shift in the cannabis sector by restricting sales to designated venues such as hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, herbal shops and authorised folk‑healer premises. Sellers would need to get licences from the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine, which also provides mandatory training.
