Community enterprises in Nakhon Phanom have urged the government to compensate them after they invested in growing cannabis plants but were unable to obtain a growing licence due to obscurities in the cannabis law.
The decriminalisation of cannabis was among the Bhumjaithai Party's flagship policies in the 2019 election. Later, the coalition party declared it would pilot a cannabis city project in Nakhon Phanom, and proceeded with its plan to remove cannabis from the narcotics list.
