Thailand First Asian Country To Legalize Marijuana

Within a year, the country's marijuana industry was worth 28 billion Thai baht (728 million euros) and is expected to reach 336 billion baht (8.7 billion euros) by 2030 . But Just eighteen months after opening the floodgates to cannabis legalization, Thailand's new conservative coalition government is seeking to close them again. Signs for cannabis outlets have become ubiquitous in Bangkok's busy tourist area, and dispensaries are popping up on every street corner. Hundreds of food and drink vendors offer cannabis-infused menus. But all that could change with new proposals to strictly regulate marijuana use and limit its use for medical purposes.Since cannabis legalization, more than 1.1 million Thais have registered for a cultivation license and more than 6,000 marijuana dispensaries have sprung up across the country, often with poor quality control.
