According to the Associated Press, CNN and other foreign media reports, thailand's cannabis legalization bill officially came into effect on June 9, which marks that growing and trading cannabis in Thailand will no longer be a criminal act in the future.
According to Thailand's new regulations, as long as the THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) content does not exceed 0.2%, people can grow cannabis at home and sell it! Not only for cosmetics, but also for drinks and food!
Of course, the use of cannabis for "recreational" purposes (i.e., smoking marijuana) is still nominally prohibited. However, this "prohibition" is useless.
Lieutenant Colonel Roy, deputy chief of thailand's National Police, said police would not arrest anyone who smoked marijuana at home.
Although the Thai government's starting point is to generate income for the economy, it has inevitably triggered a drug disaster!
On the day of the marijuana legalization bill, some young people said they could finally stop hiding as they used to.
"In the future, I don't have to hide for marijuana smoking, I want to tell people out loud that I am a marijuana addict!" The social security problems caused by the legalization of marijuana can also be seen in this sentence.
The Thai people's enthusiasm for cannabis is even more than people imagine.
A wide variety of cannabis products appear on the streets – in ice cream, in classic Thai dishes, and even in smoothie recipes. Outside a shop in Lat Tor, people buying marijuana line up.
Bangkok Municipality's deputy secretary, Vantani Wattana, said at least 1 person died of marijuana use this week and several people were hospitalized for marijuana use.
Thailand after the legalization of marijuana
After legalizing marijuana sparked a series of questions and public concerns, Thailand hastily issued new rules on cannabis use this week.
This week, the Thai government continued to issue fragmented regulations in an attempt to maintain order in cannabis use.
On 17 June, the Royal Gazette urgently published new rules related to marijuana, including a ban on the use of marijuana in public, a ban on the sale of marijuana to people under the age of 20, pregnant women and nursing mothers, and retailers need to provide precise information on the use of marijuana in food and beverages.
But no matter how much the Thai government remediates it, social security may never go back to before the legalization of marijuana!
Seeing Thailand, which is now "messed up" by marijuana, it is not difficult for everyone to understand why the mainland has so much control over drugs!
There is only zero tolerance for drugs! We must not legalize the "whole drug family" because of an opening.
The dangers of drug use and marijuana
It is reported that cannabis is the earliest drug and drug used in human history. There are more than 100 chemicals in marijuana.
Among them, THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the most powerful psychoactive ingredient in the central nervous system, which can change people's emotional and state of consciousness after taking it, and even hallucinations, which is also the feeling pursued by abusers.
Experts say
Long-term cannabis use can cause irreversible and serious damage to human health.
1. Neurological disorders, long-term smoking of marijuana, can cause psychosis, paranoia and paranoia;
2, the degradation of memory and behavior, abuse of marijuana, will make people memory confused, thinking dull;
3. Affect the immune system, resulting in a decline in cellular and humoral immune function, therefore, the probability of oral cancer in cannabis smokers is also higher;
4. It can cause the onset of tracheitis, pharyngitis and asthma;
5. Affecting motor coordination, excessive consumption of cannabis will damage muscle coordination, resulting in impaired balance and hand trembling.
The incident in Thailand also seems to warn us that drugs are really harmful to people's health and social harmony and stability.
And our country has created a green, healthy and non-toxic environment for us, so what reason do we have not to cherish it?
Please remember to reject drugs, stay away from drugs, and jointly protect social stability
