Anutin threatens to recriminalize cannabis after global seizures
Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has warned he may recriminalise cannabis and shut down the industry following a series of major international cannabis seizures linked to Thailand. The policy reversal would restore police powers and impose criminal penalties, reversing the 2022 decriminalisation. Expats should monitor the situation as legislation may change quickly.
