Thailand ministry wants marijuana legalised by next month

The Public Health Ministry is working to make the medical use of marijuana legal by next month.

Once Public Health Minister Piyasakol Sakolsatayadorn endorses the new announcement prepared by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on November 9, cannabis extracts and oil will become legal for medical use, just like morphine.

"We will ask him to sign the announcement at the upcoming Narcotics Control Board's meeting," FDA secretary-general Tares Krassanairawiwong said yesterday.
