Separately, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin has instructed Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsutin to return marijuana to the controlled narcotics list by yearend.
Anutin said he has met both Srettha and Somsak and presented the data he has available to support the decriminalisation of cannabis.
“This way, NCB can review this issue,” he said. “Nobody can undo it out of the blue, because it has been decriminalised for a reason. In 2022, the NCB voted unanimously to delist it. If the policy will be changed, we should hold talks.”
Once the NCB voted to delist it as a drug two years ago, Anutin issued a directive as public health minister to remove it from the list of Category 5 Narcotics.
