Operating cannabis shops near schools is permitted as a specific law has yet to be issued to control the locations of such establishments, according to the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine (DTAM).
DTAM director-general Thongchai Lertwilairattanapong, however, said the Public Health Ministry had issued a ministerial announcement prohibiting the distribution of the plant to anyone under 20.
Failure to comply could see cannabis vendors face up to one year in jail and/or a fine of up to 20,000 baht, and their licence may also be revoked for two years.
