Thailand will seek to regulate its fast-growing cannabis industry through legislation, potentially shelving plans to reverse a landmark decriminalization policy and calming tensions within the ruling coalition. The government will discuss plans for a draft bill to regulate the cannabis industry and wider uses of the plant, said Anutin Charnvirakul, leader of Bhumjaithai Party, the second-biggest group in Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin’s coalition government.

  • Today in History: December 22, four shot by New York subway vigilante
    Denver Post, Sunday - 12/22/2024 - 04:00 AM

    Today is Sunday, Dec. 22, the 357th day of 2024. There are nine days left in the year.
