Under Thailand’s current drug laws, recreational users of cannabis can incur tough penalties, including up to 10 years in prison for possession and hefty fines. “The principle is for medical use, you can have it at home for ailments, but not smoke it on the street,” Supachai Jaisamut told Reuters. The proposed Plant-Based Drug Institute would have authority to purchase, extract and export cannabidiol , the chemical derived from the cannabis plant, Supachai said, comparing it to the Californian model. He said the law could be passed in six months after November when parliament re-opens, if there was enough government support.
