cannabis network Announcement of not electing a political party Returning marijuana to drugs, Anuthin asked for encouragement following being attacked by politics.

May 7, 2023 – at Adul Wichiencharoen Conference Room, Faculty of Fine and Applied Arts, Thammasat University Cannabis civil society network, cannabis for the people, jointly made a statement. Show your stance in the last curve before the election. In order not to allow cannabis to become a drug and to have proper control of the law Participating in showing the standpoint, including Ajarn Panthep Puapongphan, Dean of the Institute of Integrative Medicine and Anti-Aging Medicine, Rangsit University, Mr. Prapat Panyachatrak Chairman of the Farmers Council Ms. Rosana Tositrakul Former senator, Dr. Supaporn Meelarp, ​​Aunjai Medical Clinic A doctor specializing in the use of marijuana to treat many patients and children, Pol. Gen. Dr. Kraisorn Voradithi, Prof. Dr. Peangruethai Voradithi Medical Clinic and medical marijuana ,Asst. Prof. Dr. Pipat Nonthanatorn, President of the Researchers Association of Thailand representatives of the Thailand HIV/AIDS Network and the Thai Drug User Network Including a large number of enterprise groups that overflow the conference room with Mr. Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of the Bhumjaithai Party also attending the hearing

The statement concluded that the civil society network for marijuana, hemp for the people requested a statement of facts in situations where politicians and political parties have lied and distorted. On the following issues: First, politicians who claim to oppose liberal marijuana. And want marijuana to return to drugs, although those political parties have been involved in the legislature that has led to the unlocking of marijuana

Upside down political parties claim to bring marijuana back as a drug today. such as Pheu Thai Party The Democrat Party, the Kao Klai Party, etc. had sent representatives of their own parties to study in the Extraordinary Committee of the House of Representatives. Then summarized as a result of a study clearly presented to the House of Representatives on September 21, 2020, that marijuana, cannabis and kratom should be unlocked from all types of drug lists.

Subsequently, the Drug Prevention and Suppression Committee Agreed to unlock marijuana from drugs Which will take effect from June 9, 2022 onwards, which the aforementioned unlocking As a result, 3.85 million medical marijuana users, most or almost all of whom use marijuana illegally because doctors do not dispense them. and inaccessible to marijuana These patients did not have to be arrested. As a result, 3,071 inmates for cannabis-related offenses were immediately released from prison and returned to their families, and 1,004 were commuted. 7,488 pending marijuana cases were disposed of by courts. from directory

Later, on June 8, 2022, Pheu Thai Party, Kao Klai Party, Democrat Party, etc. Has voted in favor of the Bhumjai Thai Party’s Cannabis Bill, overwhelmingly 92 percent, with this law stating the reason is because the Narcotic Code does not define marijuana as a drug. stuck anymore Political parties that have voted in favor of this agenda accept this principle. I already know that there is a need for a law. Marijuana, marijuana, because marijuana is not a drug according to the Narcotics Code according to the resolution of the Parliament.

Later, the House of Representatives appointed an extraordinary committee to consider amending the marijuana law, consisting of 25 people from 8 political parties, including representatives from the Pheu Thai Party, Kao Klai Party, and the Democrat Party. Thai Liberal Party, etc. To make the law more tightly controlled, comparable to the control of alcoholic beverages tobacco control and control of Kratom As a result, the provisions were increased from 45 sections to 95 sections until it was finalized and presented to the House of Representatives in the second term.

“But instead of political parties helping to speed up the consideration of the Commission’s Cannabis and Cannabis Act. Instead, the method of not attending the meeting was repeatedly used to prevent the quorum from being reached. This reflects the fact that political parties are campaigning for claims that they do not want free marijuana. but did not cooperate in issuing control laws.”

Second point The distorted campaign that even bringing marijuana back as a drug But various political parties Still supporting medical marijuana I would like to confirm that these proposals are completely contrary to the facts in Thailand. Because most doctors don’t dispense marijuana. Many citizens who used marijuana illegally in the past. It has also benefited immensely. Because the study found that patients who use cannabis in Thailand have improved to a lot of symptoms, 93 percent, or regarding 3.58 million people, and there are people who reduce or stop using modern drugs as much as 58 percent, or regarding 2.23. million people

Currently, there are many people who have grown marijuana. There are entrepreneurs building factories to produce cannabis industry that meet standards. And has caused a lot of cannabis hemp products, creating a new economy of the country clearly The current situation of marijuana in Thailand is therefore not limited to being a drug for medical use only, but Thailand’s marijuana has expanded the opportunity to promote the health and economy of the people in all aspects.

Turning useful marijuana back into a drug Will return cannabis to be monopolized with only a few medical funds and pharmaceutical companies. This has proven that these groups will not dispense marijuana according to the needs of the people. This is partly because being a drug makes the process too cumbersome, burdening doctors in dispensing marijuana to the public. In part, this is due to the prejudice of doctors once morest marijuana. In part, this is because a handful of doctors and pharmaceutical companies are losing out on the benefits of marijuana. Because cannabis will be able to replace many expensive drugs from abroad.

third point Currently, marijuana is not free. as claimed by politicians only lack of laws at the statutory level to control but the Ministry of Public Health has mobilized many announcements from the Ministry of Public Health by virtue of many acts applied to control marijuana Including announcements from the Ministry of Public Health and other ministries, not less than 12 copies, the result is Currently, Thailand cannabis is not free.

“So we join the campaign. Do not choose a party that takes marijuana back as a drug. but will choose a party with a support stand The Marijuana Cannabis Act in the next government to complete To uphold the right of the people to grow marijuana in self-reliance for the household”

Mr. Anutin said that today he came to ask for encouragement from everyone. because of being played by politics but stand up and fight for the people If there is no election today The Marijuana Act is likely to be passed. because there is consideration in the committee with representatives from all political parties which if everyone removes the mask he is us is someone who agrees with the benefits of marijuana But today politics is sweet. therefore agreeing to swallow the ideology to bring marijuana back to drugs which he himself would not accept as well

On Mr. Praphat’s side, he brought up the 7 sins of Mahatma Gandhi to Mr. Phitha Limcharoenrat. Kao Klai Party leader that one of the 7 deadly sins is “Playing politics without principles” He wanted to leave Mr. Phitha. as the age of the noun was the same as his eldest son At first, I admired him because he was a energetic young man. But nowadays, marijuana can be used as a drug, although previously said in another way I would not be able to accept and will not allow that to happen either.
