Thailand’s Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin ordered a u-turn on the country’s
landmark cannabis policy, saying the plant should be soon classified as a
narcotic again and its use limited to medical and health purposes.

The Ministry of Public Health will re-classify cannabis as a “category five”
narcotic, which makes it a crime to possess and consume, after Thailand became
the first country in Asia to decriminalize the plant two years ago, Srettha said
in post on X on Wednesday.
