Thailand to ban the sale of cannabis vaping products

2022-07-26

The National Tobacco Products Control Board of Thailand has moved to ban the sale of e-cigarette products containing cannabis extracts, as well as traditional cannabis cigarettes and cigars.


The meeting was chaired by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Public Health Anutin Charnvirakul.


Following the decision, new guidelines will be introduced in the form of ministerial regulations, while rules for e-cigarettes are under the responsibility of the police and the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society, according to Thai news reports.


Regarding the reported sale and consumption of cannabis by primary school students in Lampang, the minister said that consumption of cannabis products by those under the age of 20 is strictly prohibited.


Charnvirakul reiterated the health ministry's stance against recreational marijuana use, saying the draft Cannabis and Cannabis Bill proposed by Thailand's National Assembly does not contain any provisions that explicitly allow recreational use.


Thailand legalized the cultivation, sale, possession and use of marijuana last month, with few regulations governing the newly legalized drug. Politicians were quick to announce that they believed legalization would be used primarily for medical purposes and never intended to make it a legal recreational drug.
