Thailand Politicians Take Next Step To Make Marijuana Illegal Again Provoking National Protests
Thailand is a step closer to re-criminalizing marijuana. As reported by the Bangkok Post, a majority of members of the committee tasked with overseeing illegal drugs in the country voted on Friday to reclassify cannabis and hemp as narcotics. Dr. Surachoke Tangwiwat, deputy permanent secretary at the Ministry of Public Health, said that during last week's committee meeting, all members agreed that cannabis should be used for medical purposes only.
