Thai Cabinet Approves Tighter Cannabis Control Bill
Thailand's Cabinet approved a cannabis control bill on September 22 that would tighten oversight from cultivation to retail, requiring licences for most activities and banning sales to under-20s, pregnant women, and near certain venues. Existing dispensary licences will expire progressively between 2026 and 2028, after which businesses must meet medical-facility standards. The bill still needs parliamentary approval.
Context — no action needed.
