Sounds like it's only medical. Recreational will still be illegal, but good progress none the less.
It seems like more and more countries are moving to relax their cannabis laws and it really seems like a no brainer. Here in Canada it's been legal for a few years now and it really hasn't been a big deal at all either way. Nothing has really changed for me, except that now I don't have to feel scared that I could be arrested when buying or consuming it.
Our system still has it's flaws, but it's far and away much better than it used to be.
Living in a US state where it's been legalized for some time, I have the same experience in that not much has changed in my immediate life as a result of legalization. However from the perspective...
Living in a US state where it's been legalized for some time, I have the same experience in that not much has changed in my immediate life as a result of legalization.
However from the perspective of society at large, a lot has changed. Alcohol consumption is down, as is drinking related crime like drunk driving. Prescription drug use (both legal and black market) is down, which is a big deal. Education is getting a lot of new funding, taxes on marijuana have exceeded all expectations.
The net positives have been huge and you have to look hard for negatives.
Also, marijuana is cheaper now, and quality is better. At the expense of black market profits, legalization has passed savings on to consumers via a competitive legal market and non consumers via taxes that, so far, are earmarked for things that everyone can agree are good.
The Thai government will distribute one million free cannabis plants to households across the nation in June to mark a new rule allowing people to grow cannabis at home, its health minister has said.
Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced the move in a Facebook post on May 8 in which he expressed his intention for cannabis plants to be grown like "household crops."
The new rule, which comes into force on June 9, will allow people to grow cannabis plants at home after notifying their local government, but the plants will have to be of medical grade and used exclusively for medicinal purposes. Additionally, the cannabis cannot be used for commercial purposes without further licenses.
The move is the latest step in Thailand's plan to promote cannabis as a cash crop. About a third of its labor force works in agriculture, according to the World Bank.

I only wish more people consumed cannabis in less harmful ways, inhaling smoke is inherently carcinogenic.
I recommend to everyone I know to check out the Arizer collection of herb vapes. I personally have the Solo 2 and I have had a great experience.
