BANGKOK (Bloomberg: Thailand will seek to regulate its fast-growing cannabis industry through legislation, potentially shelving plans to reverse a landmark decriminalization policy and calming tensions within the ruling coalition.
The government will discuss plans for a draft bill to regulate the cannabis industry and wider uses of the plant, said Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of Bhumjaithai Party, the second-biggest group in Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s coalition government. Political parties may submit their drafts to parliament alongside Bhumjaithai’s version, he added.
