Paisarn said the recreational use of cannabis can be done in some locations that have yet to be specified.
“Of course, we won’t go to the stage of cannabis caf?s, but there are different models for its recreational use in other countries. We’ll select the best one that suits our social context,” he was quoted as saying.
Meanwhile, a separate draft will be presented to parliament this week in which details on the legal use of cannabis, including its production and commercial use, will be discussed and announced.
According to the Reuters report, the draft bill punishes the growth of cannabis without notifying the government with a fine of up to THB20,000 (RM2,530) and prescribes a fine of up to THB300,000 baht (RM37,961) or three years in jail, or both, for selling it without a licence.
