Thailand’s Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine (DTAM) has significantly increased its enforcement of regulations surrounding medical cannabis. Over 1,200 inspections of cannabis-related businesses have been conducted across the country in recent weeks. This heightened oversight aims to guarantee cannabis is utilized solely for legitimate medical applications, as intended by recent policy changes. The DTAM released figures detailing the inspection surge, which have been reported by both government and health-focused news outlets. Authorities are focused on ensuring compliance with medical-use stipulations. The move signals a stricter approach following a period of relative leniency in cannabis regulation. Further details regarding specific violations found during the inspections have not yet been released.
