SPECIAL REPORT: Medical marijuana’s LONG ROAD BACK
71-year-old Decha Siriphat has been licensed to practise traditional medicine, but he has a few more steps to go before he can begin giving his patients marijuana-based medication.
The newly amended narcotics law and associated organic regulations have complicated procedures, say Decha and community-rights advocates. They believe the law should be further amended to “truly free” medical cannabis, which remains classified as a narcotic, so it can be used unconditionally.
