Thailand’s new government is moving ahead to pass new legisalation banning cannabis for recreational use in a major reversal 18 months after the country became the first in Asia to decriminalize the plant.

The relaxed laws saw a lucrative cannabis industry catering to locals and foreigners alike boom across the Southeast Asian nation, but a new conservative coalition government came to power late last year vowing to tighten the rules and only allow medical use.

A draft bill was released on Tuesday by Thailand’s health ministry outlining hefty fines or prison sentences of up to one year for offenders – or both.

    You made a claim, and refuse to support it with evidence. Sounds like a troll or an idiot to me.

        Be honest, you have literally nothing better to do than spread misinformation, you’re already wasting your time.

        That’s not our job in an argument tho. You make a claim, people asked you to show evidence - now it’s your turn to to your part of the debate and show what it is that made you so sure that this was true.
