Last year, Thailand’s health ministry took marijuana off its list of prohibited substances. However, regulations have stalled in parliament, leaving legal marijuana in a state of legal uncertainty. American sellers have now stepped in, supplying dispensaries with cheaper weed. Despite dispensaries flourishing and offering experiences such as stoned yoga and joint-rolling classes, the government’s goal of legalizing weed was to transform the country into a regional hub for marijuana cultivation and product development, supporting small farmers and the economy at large. However, political deadlock and the smuggling of cheaper, stronger American weed have hindered this goal. Thai growers have reported being undercut by American marijuana, and they are urging the government to support them and protect the domestic market. Corrupt local officials have been blamed for both the failure to stop smuggling and the stalled legislation.
