The first Asian country to "legalize marijuana" appears! Thailand declares that marijuana is no longer a drug

According to the Russian Satellite News Agency, from the end of last year to the beginning of this year, the "drug acceptance process" in the United States can be described as very rapid. After New York City took the lead in opening the first legal "drug use center" in the United States and providing drug injection services for addicts, San Francisco also opened a "drug use aid station" without waiting for government documents to be approved, and the interior is actually similar to the "drug use center" in New York City; on the other hand, Rhode Island and other places are also planning to build more legal drug use places, and the US media predicts that in less than 5 years these institutions will blossom everywhere in the United States, ironically saying that "the police who were still arresting drug dealers yesterday." Today, it has become a security guard standing in front of a drug-using facility to protect the safety of drug dealers. ”

On the other hand, the Asian country of Thailand has also been promoting the process of "legalization of marijuana" since the new health minister Anuddin came to power. As early as the beginning of the "war on drugs" in Southeast Asia, the joint crackdown on drug cultivation by various governments was very fast, making the cannabis that was once everywhere a "rare plant" and the price soared. Thailand has long clamored for government approval to legally grow cannabis and export it to create economic value; Anuddin promised thais during his campaign three years ago that he would promote the legalization and commercialization of cannabis during his term of office so that "every Thai person can grow marijuana."

The afternoon before yesterday, Thai Health Minister Anuddin Chanwirakul signed a proclamation announcing that he would remove cannabis from Thailand's list of the fifth class of drugs and completely dissolve the relationship between cannabis and drugs. The government said the move would "pave the way for families to grow cannabis" and said that in the future, Thais only need to apply for a simple "planting license" to grow the crop on their own land. Previously, Anuddin had praised that cannabis "can create great value, including in medical applications, research and development, and other fields, which can bring huge income to farmers", and he has also received a resounding title from the media called "Cannabis Minister".

It is also worth mentioning that this time Thailand's full opening of cannabis has long been a precursor, since Anuddin came to power has been promoting the introduction of a bill, the control list of cannabis gradually "marginalized", to the private open cultivation of cannabis for "medical treatment", allowing the processing, possession of cannabis, until now fully legalized, this is a slow process. The Indian media is now worried about whether Southeast Asian countries, which have a very high sensitivity to drugs, will impose a trade ban on Thailand as a "special country", which will cause serious losses to their businesses.
