The Move Forward Party (MFP) has reaffirmed its plan to reinstate cannabis as a narcotic drug, while ensuring protection for its growers and sellers.
MFP deputy leader Sirikanya Tansakun said on Thursday that her party intends to re-list cannabis as a narcotic through the Public Health Ministry’s new regulation, which aims to authorise police and officials involved in narcotics suppression to effectively regulate its usage.
Following the decriminalising of cannabis, the lack of a law governing its use, cultivation, export and import has hindered the work of officials, she said.
