Cannabis advocacy groups in Thailand, including Writing Thailand's Cannabis Future, academics, medical practitioners, and business operators, have submitted a letter to the newly appointed Health Minister Somsak Thapsutin. They are urging the government to reconsider its plan to re-list marijuana as an illegal narcotic. The groups argue that this decision could negatively impact a nascent industry and a large community of weed growers. Dozens of advocates made this plea on Thursday.
