The opposition will be going after the government for its botched happy plant decriminalisation and legalisation laws. Or, specifically, their lack of details and the loose ends left dangling for Thais and foreigners to navigate. Politics aside, the June 9 announcements about the C plant in Thailand were broadly misinterpreted to be a blanket legalisation of the plant and all of its derivatives. The actual details and legislation haven’t even been tabled in parliament for debate, so the opposition is now targeting the government over its botched announcements on, what some believe, is a crucial societal issue that requires a proper debate. The opposition parties, led by Pheu Thai and Move Forward, will likely focus on hot issues like underage addiction, school kids and drugs, illicit drug use in Thailand, perils of long-term use, dangers to society, among a myriad of topics. The topic also brings additional focus to the deputy PM and public health minister, Anutin … [Read more...] about Thailand News Today | Backlash over sloppy happy plant guidelines

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin How can states meet aggressive low-carbon electricity targets over the next two to three decades? Energy leaders from across western North America chewed on this question a few weeks ago at the Western Energy & Water Forum in Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
