Chuvit Kamolvisit's latest controversial revelations that cast a further shadow over the government's cannabis liberalisation policy engineered by the Bhumjaithai Party should serve as a warning over the monitoring of such dispensaries, which have mushroomed in number after the government removed cannabis from the Category 5 list of narcotics in the Royal Gazette on June 9 last year.
The scene when health officials from the Department of Thai Traditional and Alternative Medicine raided the "Chuweed Shop" -- a cannabis dispensary that was surprisingly located in Mr Chuvit's Davis Bangkok Hotel, raised the question of double standards.
