The government has reaffirmed it is illegal for students to smoke cannabis in schools and for vendors to sell cannabis to people aged under 20 years old, deputy government spokeswoman Traisuree Taisaranakul said on Wednesday.
Ms Traisuree said police and state agencies including the Education Ministry have taken action on the matter after a video clip on social media showing a handful of early teens smoking cannabis at a school went viral on Tuesday.
Despite the cannabis and hemp bill not being implemented yet, the government still has regulations to keep the use of cannabis in line with its policy for medical and commercial purposes, she said.
