“When the new law is enacted, this practice cannot go on because all marijuana-based goods must first be approved by the authorities. However, we are in a vacuum period right now and we cannot control it,” Supachai admitted. He is requesting the Chana Songkram police to monitor Khaosan Road activities to prevent such trade. The bill is aimed at allowing marijuana and hemp to be used for medical purposes and for making cash products, not for recreational use, he made it clear. The bill has been drafted based on public opinions from all sectors so that the new law brings about benefits for the country, Supachai said.
