A weed hangover? Why Thailand’s having second thoughts
about decriminalizing cannabis
Opening a cannabis dispensary wasn’t always top of the list of Wassaya
Iemvijan’s ambitions. The former lawyer, from the Thai capital Bangkok, first
turned to the plant as a form of “alternative care” to cope with stress and
settle her mind.“I struggled with depression for many
years,” Iemvijan said. “It was weed that helped me… So when it was
decriminalized, we decided to set up a shop.”
