Bhumjaithai MP calls for controls
Bangkok Post
|June 24, 2025
Leading Bhumjaithai Party (BJT) figure Supachai Jaisamut has called for the urgent enactment of a cannabis control bill, criticising Pheu Thai Party's Ministry of Public Health for perceived negligence in regulating cannabis, leading to its widespread availability and escalating problems.
Mr Supachai recently reiterated that his party has supported cannabis use solely for medical purposes since 2019. He noted that delisting cannabis from the Narcotics Code BE 2564 received parliamentary approval, including votes from Pheu Thai members.
The BJT previously proposed the Cannabis-Hemp Bill, which was derailed by political manoeuvres and the dissolution of parliament by the then-prime minister Prayut Chan-o-cha. However, the party resubmitted the bill to the current parliament.
Concurrently, the Public Health Ministry submitted a similar draft to the cabinet, but it has remained stalled.
