Did Thailand ban cannabis in 2025?

Thailand made headlines in 2022 by decriminalizing cannabis, sparking rapid growth in dispensaries and cannabis-related businesses. However, by 2024, the government began rolling back these freedoms, aiming to reclassify cannabis as a narcotic and limit its use to medical purposes. These changes culminated in a full reclassification by March 2025, impacting thousands of businesses and raising concerns about the future of Thailand’s cannabis industry.
