Thailand was the first country in Asia to legalize the consumption of cannabis. Now the government is planning a U-turn.
Cannabis is now available almost everywhere in Thailand, especially in tourist hotspots like Bangkok or Phuket. Smoking weed in public is prohibited, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, as well as people under 20, are generally not allowed to consume it. Penalties of around 1,500 euros are planned for recreational stoners. No more joints in Bangkok? Stoner paradise Thailand before cannabis shutdown. As of: February 15, 2024, 8:43 a.m
