Legal Measures for Regulating Household Cannabis Cultivation in Thailand

2024-12-20T23:45:55+07:00

This study examines and analyzes legal measures related to household cannabis cultivation in Thailand, using a qualitative research approach. The objectives are: (1) to study and analyze laws concerning household cannabis cultivation, (2) to explore legal frameworks regarding cannabis regulations following the plant's removal from the narcotics list and its designation as a controlled herb, and (3) to propose guidelines for improving social and economic policies in Thailand. The findings suggest that Thailand should implement legal measures to balance the social, medical, and economic impacts of cannabis.
