The Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB) has no authority to alter or reverse any ministerial announcements signed by Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul concerning the decriminalisation of cannabis, Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam said on Monday.
Mr Wissanu was responding to media reports yesterday that the ONCB was today due to discuss the possibility of reversing two ministerial announcements of the Ministry of Public Health signed by Mr Anutin, an action which may lead to cannabis being listed as a narcotic drug as it was before it was formally removed from the Type 5 narcotic drug list.
