House votes down cannabis legislation

The bill was rejected by the House 198-136. Lawmakers contend that the bill’s “loose” language could put young people at risk for health problems. According to the Democratic Party, allowing individuals to register to produce marijuana may result in recreational use. Hospital cannabis patients have decreased, according to a House committee spokesperson, since marijuana was became legal in June. The Democratic Party is in favor of adding marijuana back to the list of illegal drugs. Since legalization, thousands of well-established companies as well as hundreds of tiny firms have started selling cannabis- and hemp-based products. A Bhumjaithai Party lawmaker named Chada Thaiset is against the bill’s withdrawal. The language of the bill, according to Paradorn Prisnananthakul, spokesman for the Bhumjaithai party, addresses cannabis safety. If the law was passed by the House, the Democratic Party supposedly threatened to vote against it. In the event that the bill is withdrawn, the…

Today, a cannabis bill will be urgently considered by the House

Since legalization, tens of thousands of large corporations and hundreds of small firms have sold cannabis- and hemp-based products. Family farms may cultivate cannabis on up to 15 rai for use as fiber, stems, and roots. In November, an additional cannabis expo will be held at Chang International Circuit in Buri Ram. Personal cultivation of up to 15 plants per home would be permitted. The Herbal Product Act permits hospitals to grow medical cannabis under this new legislation. For the new proposed legislation, the Kratom Plant Act, the Tobacco Product Control Act, and the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act serve as models. If the Cannabis and Hemp Bill were to pass, the laws would become legal. According to him, senators and legislators are compelled to consider and adopt cannabis policy. He asserts that public awareness campaigns have educated folks and helped to eliminate the chemical in question. The bill will make…

Everything you need to know on Thailand’s cannabis laws at this time

We describe the current cannabis environment in Thailand, however there may be differences between it and reality. In Thailand, Chinese marijuana users will have leftovers in their urine, blood, saliva, and hair. Chinese people who smoke in Thailand could run into legal issues and be punished for drug misuse if they are drug tested in China. In the past two months, 60 persons experienced acute cannabis side effects, according to the health ministry (from June 6 to Aug 16). The consequences of losing one person each day were catastrophic, but Thailand has 70 million inhabitants. There are limits. According to Article 357 of the PRC Criminal Law, cannabis cultivation, possession, and consumption are all prohibited. The law penalizes anyone who misrepresents cannabis plant parts as herbs. The law forbids the selling of cannabis in parks, schools, dormitories, and places of worship. Parks, restaurants, and temples are now smoke-free areas. The…

Thailand Cannabis Marketplace is accepting Applications

The Cannabis industry in Thailand has seen a lot of exciting developments during the last few weeks. The Department of Thai Traditional and Complementary Medicine has already begun issuing licenses for retail, export to other countries, and conducting medical research. The number of people who have registered to grow cannabis in Thailand on the PlookGanja website, which is managed by the FDA, has already topped one million. On top of all of that, the OG company has begun operating an online Cannabis Marketplace. The marketplace serves as an online platform where buyers and sellers may have direct access with one another. Keep in mind that there have already been tens of thousands of application requests submitted, and the OG company is moving as fast as it can to approve application requests (sellers need the required registration number from PlookGanja). Customers will benefit by OG company ensuring quality, and well as…

Thailand’s new cannabis law seeks to draw clearer boundaries

Among the organizations with which you can register to grow the plants are hospitals, medical professionals, dentists, practitioners of Thai traditional medicine, practitioners of applied Thai traditional medicine, practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine, government organizations, the Thai Red Cross Society, and animal hospitals. According to a spokeswoman for a House committee, the most recent change to the cannabis and hemp legislation will soon be reevaluated. For those who want to produce or sell cannabis plants, Parnthep Pourpongpan went into detail about the new laws. Some contend that the use and sale of hemp and cannabis are too fraught with uncertainty. Small-scale cannabis cultivators run the possibility of receiving a $100,000 fine or serving a year in jail. The penalty for large-scale farmers who own more than 5 rai is three years in prison and/or a 300,000 baht fine. Cannabis exporters risk up to five years in prison and/or a fine…

Thai policy influences Malaysia’s medical cannabis law

Anutin Charnvirakul, the minister of public health of Thailand, and the minister of public health of Malaysia are scheduled to meet to discuss Thailand’s process for legalizing medical marijuana. Recently, Anutin met with the Thai ambassador to Malaysia to discuss the future tour of his counterpart. Similar regulations to those Thailand adopted to permit the use of cannabis for medical purposes in that nation are currently being considered in Malaysia. Anutin’s party had fought for the legalization of cannabis but then withdrew its support, claiming that they had only only intended it for medical purposes. Cannabis consumption in public and in settings where it shouldn’t be ingested is eventually subject to limitations and laws. This week, new regulations are anticipated to be ratified by the parliament and then submitted for royal assent. Patients can now rely on cannabis treatment with confidence, and medical professionals can publicly prescribe cannabis-based medications. Although…

On Khao San Road, marijuana is prohibited; authorities call for enforcement

The mishmash of yes and no regarding the handling and prosecution of cannabis is to put it mildly bewildering, despite the fact that roughly a million people have now been granted licenses to sell cannabis. Smoking in public can also be penalized as a nuisance. Anutin Charnvirakul, the minister of public health, has called for the arrest of marijuana dealers on Khao San Road after his political party lobbied for its legalization and later complained that they had expected everyone would only consume it for medicinal grounds. Wasan Boonmuenwai, the district head of Phra Nakhon, has asked police to pursue anyone who sells marijuana on Khao San Road in Bangkok, making it clear that sellers there are not permitted to lawfully sell the drug. The poster allegedly smoked cannabis on a tourist street and ended up getting quite unwell, according to accounts on social media, she added. Four of the…

Internet users criticize a cannabis company for promoting usage by minors

This Machine Is Green was a photograph of a marijuana vending machine in Bangkok that was posted on Twitter by a Thai user called C.Veasarach on Saturday. The caption read, “Here it is… This vending machine is in response to the new marijuana law. The device provides resources for using cannabis. Who will check it if they ask clients to present their ID cards before making a purchase? Does the machine have a reader for ID cards? Since I’ve never purchased it before, I really want to know. On the machine, there are a few warnings that read, “Prescription: Do not sell to persons under the age of 20.” (Please show your ID card every time before buying). Don’t market to expectant or nursing mothers. Cannabis is only used for medical purposes, and smoking it in public is against the law, punishable by up to three months in jail and…

While it lasted, a new resolution banning cannabis cigarettes was amusing #2

The National Tobacco Products Control Committee proposed the resolution, which would outlaw the sale of cannabis-infused traditional cigarettes, cigars, and joints in addition to electronic cigarettes and vapes. The ban would severely curtail the recreational use of cannabis, which has become widespread due to the one million people who have obtained licenses to cultivate, trade, or consume the plant, as well as the proliferation of shops and stands selling joints and other cannabis products across the nation, particularly in tourist hotspots. Last month, Thailand decriminalized cannabis cultivation, sales, possession, and use, with very little guidelines or procedures in place to govern the newly authorized narcotic. Anutin added a statement to emphasize that the government and the Ministry of Public Health have always opposed cannabis use for recreational purposes and that the concept was never specifically addressed in the original draft bill that resulted in the drug’s decriminalization. Anutin Charnvirakul, the…

The Thai Pharmacy Council calls on the government to restrict marijuana usage outside of medical settings and to end unfettered planting and growing

According to council president Supanai Prasertsuk, the Pharmacy Council has continuously supported the decriminalization of cannabis and hemp for medical purposes. Government protections and controls are inadequate, resulting in documented recreational planting usage and abuse after it was deemed legal, which regularly confuses the general public. The Council, which claimed to have worked closely with the populace, requested that the government move forward with the suspension of free marijuana planting without proper controls because the current policies are not being implemented effectively and because the distribution of cannabis flowers to the general public must be legalized, written with clear distribution locations, limited quantities, and groups of people who co-operate. Stop organizing leisure activities that can cause misunderstandings and any campaigns that are aimed at children, vulnerable groups, or the sick. The Pharmacy Council of Thailand demanded that the government control marijuana usage for non-medical purposes and stop free marijuana planting…
