Thailand wants to recriminalise cannabis after earlier unbanning it
Farmer's Weekly
|May 31, 2024
The government of Thailand has announced that it will be relisting cannabis as an illegal drug by the end of 2024, two years after lifting the initial ban.
-
This was a blow to a number of farmers, who had opted to grow cannabis to make up for shortfalls in other crop production due to unfavourable climatic events, according to the Thailand Cannabis Future Network.
In a statement, the network said that the government recriminalising cannabis would “be a bad move for the economy and deal a big blow to small businesses and consumers”.

State needs to rid itself of the scarcity mindset to grow the economy
As Minister of Finance Enoch Godongwana delivered his Medium Term Budget Policy Statement, terms such as ‘fiscal discipline’ and ‘tightening the belt’ were likely to dominate headlines. I can understand that we need to be prudent in the financial matters of the country and keep the debt-to-GDP ratio within reason. However, when these measures spill over to an inability to fill critical vacancies in the state’s machinery, the economy suffers.
