An official license must be obtained for its commercial use, [said](https://edition.cnn.com/2022/01/25/asia/thailand-cannabis-remove-drug-list-intl-hnk/index.html)   health minister Anutin Charnvirakul. Drug and Food Administration of Thailand  [presented](https://www.forbes.com/sites/dariosabaghi/2022/01/27/thailand-has-become-the-first-asian-country-to-decriminalize-recreational-cannabis/?sh=439060db4b21)  the move to withdraw cannabis from a list of controlled drugs to the Office of the Narcotics Control Board (ONCB). Once signed by the health minister, the proposal will come into effect 120 days after its publishing in the gazette.

It has its uses in medicine as well as a recreational drug. Studies on its medicinal value have not reached its full potential due to it being banned in many nations.

Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam  [remarked](https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40011474) , “public planning to grow marijuana at home should at least wait until the ministry officially announces the regulations,” in The Nation Thailand. ##### You May Also Read: [Drug-Free Psychedelic Experience: Lumenate](https://www.ticketfairy.com/word/2021/07/12/drug-free-psychedelic-experience-lumenate) *Feature Image Via* [*Asia.Nikkei*](https://asia.nikkei.com/Economy/Thailand-takes-step-toward-decriminalizing-marijuana) Поделиться [X](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fru%2Fword%2F2022%2F02%2F05%2Ftf-daily-feed-thailand-decriminalizes-the-use-of-recreational-marijuana.md&text=TF+Daily+Feed%3A+Thailand+Decriminalizes+the+Use+of+Recreational+Marijuana) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fru%2Fword%2F2022%2F02%2F05%2Ftf-daily-feed-thailand-decriminalizes-the-use-of-recreational-marijuana.md) [WhatsApp](https://api.whatsapp.com/send?text=TF+Daily+Feed%3A+Thailand+Decriminalizes+the+Use+of+Recreational+Marijuana+https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketfairy.com%2Fru%2Fword%2F2022%2F02%2F05%2Ftf-daily-feed-thailand-decriminalizes-the-use-of-recreational-marijuana.md) ## Denver C Tracking stories in music with a focus on festivals, events, gigs, and sustainability.
