Supachai Jaisamut, a Bhumjaithai list MP and party registrar, has petitioned the House committee on public health to launch a probe against a state-run hospital director, accusing the head medico of misconduct and insulting his superior.
Only two weeks after decriminalising cannabis, Thailand is experiencing a green rush. Since June 9, when the legalisation of marijuana for home and commercial use took effect, almost 1 million people registered to grow it with food and drug officials, while more than 40 million have checked out the registration platform. There's a growing public interest in the cash crop though some farmers remain doubtful and it is paving the way for "cannabis journalism".
Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha on Monday assured there won't be a cabinet reshuffle while a deputy minister faces legal action over forest encroachment.
The decriminalisation of cannabis has reached another milestone as neither it nor hemp appear on the newly implemented Narcotics Code. However this has led some people to mistakenly assume they can now grow cannabis at home legally.
