Thailand's Health Ministry is intensifying cannabis enforcement with 1,326 shop inspections, 83 seizures, and 40+ prosecutions since October, with 109+ million baht in products seized. A draft Cannabis and Hemp Act aims to restrict use to medical purposes while preventing recreational sales. Licensed retailers can continue operating until their three-year licences expire, requiring compliance with stricter new rules afterward—creating a transitional compliance window for SMEs in this emerging sector.
