Thailand has announced plans to ban the recreational use of cannabis by the end of the year, while continuing to allow its use for medical purposes. This decision comes just two years after the country became the first in Southeast Asia to decriminalize cannabis in 2022. The health minister conveyed this new policy direction in an interview, highlighting the government's shift towards regulating the drug's use more strictly. A proposed law will include penalties for recreational use, with fines up to $1,700 and maximum jail terms of a year. The Thai cabinet is set to review a draft law this month, marking a significant change in the country's cannabis policy.
