Cannabis bill to go before parliamentPanthep: Cannabis under controlA bill on cannabis and hemp will on Monday be proposed to the House, says the spokesman of a House committee vetting it. Panthep Phuapongpan, a vocal supporter of cannabis-based medicine and spokesman of the committee, said yesterday the bill will be sent to parliament today with a decision on whether to accept the bill likely before Sept 19. The bill will let households grow up to 15 cannabis plants for domestic use, households farm cannabis for use of the roots, trunk and fibre, within an area not exceeding 15 rai, and hospitals to grow cannabis for medication listed in Herbal Product Act. "It shows that people are informed of the cannabis awareness campaign and that cannabis use is under control. We also have more measures than we had when the Kratom Plant Bill was halted for one year," said Mr Panthep.
