Attorneys in Tilleke & Gibbins' regulatory affairs team have updated the Cannabis and Hemp Business Guide - Thailand, a primer on the rapidly developing cannabis industry in Thailand.

Cannabis (both marijuana and hemp) has been classified as a category 5 narcotic under the Narcotics Act since 1979. All activities related to the plants and their derivatives had been very much restricted until the recent rise of the cannabis legalization movement-its first milestone being Amendment (No.7) to the Narcotics Act, effective since February 19, 2019. The Thai government has since been working to reclassify the products and lay out the regulatory pathways to accommodate these new "economic plants."
