Thailand's government proposed new cannabis regulations, focusing on health and medical use, following months of uncertainty. The draft legislation does not ban recreational use but imposes fines for unauthorized sales and consumption. Despite being the first Asian country to decriminalize cannabis in 2022, the market remains largely unregulated, leading to public concerns over misuse and crime. The new conservative government aims to restrict cannabis use, citing health risks, while protests for better regulation continue. The proposed changes could impact the burgeoning cannabis industry and tourism.
