Bhumjaithai MPs announce their stance in support of medical and health cannabis.

Parliament, Bhumjaithai MPs announced their position supporting cannabis as a medical and health plant and driving the economy, saying they have good manners and do not fight with anyone. They can still work with coalition parties after having the idea of ??pushing it back to being a drug. Meanwhile, they are pushing for the draft of the Cannabis Control Act to be completed. Ms. Nan Bunthida Somchai, MP for Ubon Ratchathani and spokesperson for the Bhumjaithai Party, along with MPs from the Bhumjaithai Party, announced the party's stance on returning cannabis to the list of narcotics after the Narcotics Control Board voted to return cannabis to the list of Category 5 narcotics. She confirmed the party's stance as the initiator and pioneer in changing cannabis to a narcotic for use in medicine, health, and driving the economy both directly and indirectly. She confirmed her previous statement that she supports controlled cannabis use and understands the concerns and concerns and does not ignore them. However, due to Thai political reasons, the draft bill did not pass during the previous session. During this parliamentary government, Bhumjaithai proposed a draft Cannabis Control Act since September last year, which is currently on the parliamentary agenda. Importantly, she understands that the problems that have arisen have been communicated because there is no law to control it. Bhumjaithai therefore insists on proposing a law to control its use within limits or to use it for medicine, health, and driving the economy. Most importantly, it is in response to the government policy that the Prime Minister announced to the Cabinet on September 11, 2023, which is like a promise from all political parties. As a coalition party, we do not do anything outside of government policy. Ms. Nan added that the Bhumjaithai Party saw that there might be a bit of confusion when cannabis was legalized and when it was proposed to be reinstated as a new drug, in terms of the economy, many communities invested in this area worth tens o f billions of baht. How can we make people survive? Therefore, we must return to giving importance to the draft of the Cannabis Control Act proposed by the Bhumjaithai Party while controlling it rather than going back and forth and affecting confidence. 'If we look back at the countries that allow the use of cannabis, they have laws to control it. We confirm the same point that the cabinet announced the policy to the parliament that cannabis is one of them. And many people are worried that there is an issue of adjusting cannabis to be a narcotic and what position or position the Bhumjaithai Party will take in proposing it. Will there be a problem in working together? I confirm that there is definitely no problem. And I confirm that every government policy is a joint agreement of all coalition parties. Therefore, we are still working according to the policy that was announced to the parliament. And the Bhumjaithai Party is polite enough not to have a problem or fight with anyone. I confirm that we have prepar ed this draft bill for a long time. It is in the process of being included in the agenda in order to control the use in order to make cannabis medical and for the economy both directly and indirectly,' said Ms. Nan.
