On June 9, Thailand's cannabis-related bill came into effect, meaning that Thailand became the first country in Asia to legalize cannabis. According to the new regulations, people can grow marijuana after registering on the food and drug administration website, but only for medical purposes and cannot be used for entertainment.

According to the secretary-general of Thailand's Food and Drug Administration, on the first day of legalization of marijuana, their website was visited more than 8 million times and more than 150,000 people registered for notification. Due to the excessive number of visitors, the website crashed.

It is reported that the Thai Food and Drug Administration and the Buriram Health Office will hold a cannabis-related event on June 10-12, which is the first cannabis event held after the legalization of cannabis in Thailand, opening a new chapter in Thai history. Thai Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Health Anutin will personally attend the opening ceremony and distribute 1,000 cannabis seedlings free of charge, as well as taste and purchase cannabis products at the event and visit more than 100 stores for free.
