People pack the Public Health Ministry's One Stop Service Centre to register for an amnesty on marijuana possession for medical purposes. The amnesty followed a change to the narcotics law in December legalising use of the drug for medical purposes only. Today we can see that most of the people who have come to us to register are quite young. In a related development, a pro-cannabis legalisation group embarked on a 265-kilometre walkathon on Tuesday from Phichit to Suphan Buri. Dubbed "Cannabis Walk Thailand", it is being spearheaded by Daycha Siripatra, who earlier launched the Khaokwan Foundation and is a researcher on cannabis for medical treatment.
