The House of Representatives on Wednesday (14 September) voted 198 to 136, with 12 abstentions, to withdraw the Bhumjaithai Party’s Cannabis-Hemp Bill, which had previously passed its first reading in the House, from the meeting agenda, awaiting revision of its text that MPs considered as loose and potentially cause serious health problems, particularly in youth.
According to Capital Nomura Securities, investor sentiment toward cannabis and hemp companies has taken a hit as a result of the House of Representatives’ recent decision to remove the Cannabis-Hemp Bill from its meeting schedule, which they feel has eroded consumer confidence in the safety and legality of cannabis and hemp.
