BANGKOK (AP) — The prime minister of Thailand announced plans to reintroduce a ban on cannabis, reversing the country's landmark decision to legalize the drug two years ago. The move comes amid growing concerns about the unregulated availability of cannabis, particularly to children, and its perceived role in fueling criminal activities.
The prime minister stated that he has requested the Health Ministry to revise the list of narcotics to include cannabis once again, with the intention of restricting its use to medical purposes only. This decision marks a significant shift from the previous policy, which allowed for broader access to cannabis beyond medicinal use.
