Thailand will re-list cannabis as a narcotic by the end of 2024, the nation’s prime minister said on May 7, 2024. The stunning U-turn was made two years after the country became one of the first in Asia to decriminalise the drug for recreational use and despite the rapid growth of the marijuana retail sector. Tens of thousands of shops and businesses have sprung up in Thailand and the industry had been on track to be worth US$1.2 billion by 2025.
