Thailand Considers Reversing Cannabis Legalization Amid Regulatory Crackdown

TL;DR Summary
Two years after legalizing cannabis, Thailand is considering a ban on recreational use due to concerns about under-regulation leading to availability for kids and crime. The proposed law would impose a fine for recreational use while allowing medical marijuana, but lacks details on regulation. The move comes after reports of drug-related issues, including among young people, prompting political parties to promise to limit cannabis to medical use. Advocates and entrepreneurs argue for better enforcement of existing regulations and more discussion on controlling the drug.
