Keep Cannabis Legal

Thailand emerged as a pioneer in Asia by legalizing cannabis, but now, a new government seeks to undo this progress, dragging us back into a senseless battle against the very people it should protect. This isn’t just regression; it’s a challenge to our collective strides toward enlightenment and liberty.

ACTION NOW!
Now is the moment to harness our collective power and advocate for a future where science guides the path of cannabis laws in Thailand. By demanding a science-based approach to cannabis regulation, we stand at the forefront of innovation, safety, and justice. Let’s unite to push for legislation that reflects the latest research, recognizing cannabis’s potential for healing and economic growth, rather than being shackled by outdated fears and misconceptions. Together, we can cultivate a landscape where freedom and knowledge thrive, ensuring that policies are built on facts, not fear. Raise your voice, join the movement, and be a part of crafting a progressive, enlightened future for cannabis in Thailand.
SCIENCE NOT FEAR
Policies on cannabis must pivot from fear-driven laws to those rooted in scientific evidence and current data. Emphasizing research over rhetoric ensures regulations reflect the real impacts of cannabis use, distancing from outdated stigmas. This shift is crucial for informed, effective public health strategies, advocating for laws that genuinely protect and benefit society.
ScienceMISALIGNED PRIORITIES
Cannabis stands out as significantly safer than tobacco and alcohol, which are linked to serious health issues like cancer and liver disease. Yet, while the government proposes stricter cannabis laws citing health concerns, it paradoxically promotes alcohol through tax cuts and extended bar hours for tourism. This contradiction reveals a clear inconsistency in public health policy, necessitating a reevaluation of cannabis’s legal standing.
Priorities
ECONOMIC IMPACT
The Thai government’s reconsideration of cannabis legality puts at risk the substantial investments made by businesses in the burgeoning cannabis sector, based on prior governmental assurances. A sudden policy shift could inflict hundreds of millions of baht in damages on these businesses, threatening economic stability and betraying the trust of investors who operated in good faith.
EconomicsMENTAL HEALTH
The definition of ‘medicinal use’ should embrace cannabis’s role in maintaining good mental health. By reducing stress and potentially decreasing violence and other mental health-related issues, cannabis’ benefits extend beyond the physical, offering a holistic approach to well-being. Recognizing mental health as a legitimate reason for cannabis use underscores its versatility as a therapeutic agent.
Mental Health
The criminalization of cannabis users is an antiquated approach that flies in the face of human rights, common sense, and thousands of years of history.
For millennia, cultures across the globe have recognized and utilized cannabis for its medicinal, spiritual, and industrial properties. From ancient Chinese texts citing its medicinal benefits to its use in religious ceremonies in India, cannabis has been an integral part of human society.
To criminalize individuals for using a plant that has coexisted with humans for centuries is not only irrational but also a gross violation of personal freedoms and human rights.
