Government officials in Thailand have decided to re-prohibit cannabis after decriminalizing the plant three years ago, threatening the $1 billion industry that has blossomed since the reforms, Reuters reports.
Thailand was the first country in Asia to adopt significant cannabis reforms; critics of the decriminalization policy, however, have argued that the industry was left under-regulated. Health Minister Somsak Thepsutin signed the order on Monday, and the new policy will prohibit the sale of cannabis products to customers without a medical prescription.
āCannabis will be classified as a narcotic in the future.ā ā Somsak, in a statement
The rule change is set to take effect after appearing in the Royal Gazette, the report said.
A 2024 opinion survey by Thailandās National Institute of Development Administration found that 75% of Thais supported the governmentās proposal to relist cannabis as an illegal drug.
The policy change has been a stated priority of the ruling Pheu Thai Party ā which previously had vowed to recriminalize the drug ā but its members were held back by their former coalition partner, the Bhumjaithai Party, the Associated Press reports. The Bhumjaithai Party recently exited the coalition, however, amid fallout from a leaked phone call between Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra and a former leader of Cambodia.
