On June 1, Thailand's Deputy Prime Minister and Health Minister Anutin issued a statement on civil concerns about the legalization of marijuana on June 9, saying that the legalization policy focuses on the use of cannabis for medical and health purposes, not recreational purposes, and the relevant departments have made several statements before that. As for control, the House of Commons is considering the Cannabis Act, and the Department of Health will also issue relevant regulations to control the use of cannabis to avoid nuisance.
Anutin said he hopes that people will have a clear understanding of the use of cannabis, which can be supported if used in cooking, medicinal herbs or as herbs and drinks. But if it results in drunkenness or insanity, it violates the purpose of the marijuana legalization policy.
As for cultivation and industrial production, Anutin expressed support, saying that it could generate income for the Chinese people. However, a series of applications are required to obtain a planting permit.
