The Association of Researchers of Thailand (ART) on Monday submitted a letter to Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul showing support for the Cannabis and Hemp Bill and a ministerial announcement on cannabis.
The lettter was signed by 5,000 supporters of the bill and the ministerial announcement of Nov 11 that put cannabis buds and extracts on the list of controlled herbs under the Thai Traditional Medicine Protection and Promotion Act, and was handed to Mr Anutin by Dr Pipat Nonthanathorn, the association president.
In the letter, the researchers supported use of cannabis for medical purposes and opposed it being returned to the narcotics list.
