Thai Weed Heats Up: Advocates Against Reclassification, Push for Cannabis Act
“Prasitchai explained that the network has proposed forming a joint committee to research cannabis in four dimensions:
Whether cannabis poses more health risks than cigarettes and alcohol.
Whether cannabis has caused more severe social harm in the last two years compared to cigarettes and alcohol.
Whether the medicinal properties of cannabis are superior to those of cigarettes and alcohol.
Whether cannabis actually causes psychiatric disorders and brain damage in young people, as claimed by the government.
Once the research is complete, the results should determine the legal status of cannabis.

If it proves to be more harmful, it should come under the Narcotics Act.”
