In Bangkok, Thailand, the Wonderland cannabis shop at the Nana intersection is struggling to stay afloat amidst new government rules sharply curbing the sale of cannabis. Introduced just days ago, these rules require a doctor’s prescription for all sales of cannabis buds, intending to curtail the recreational market that has thrived since the plant’s decriminalization three years ago. businesses like Wonderland, now reliant on an in-house doctor, have seen a significant drop in sales. Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsuthin plans to place cannabis back on the controlled narcotics list, alongside harder drugs like cocaine and methamphetamine, within 45 days. This sudden policy reversal has the cannabis industry, which includes farmers and shop owners, on edge, with many questioning the feasibility of their business and the future of cannabis legalization in Thailand.
