How many people died on this so called "linked to marijuana use" before it was decriminalized? How many people died on the roads in Thailand? The answer is 14,737 in 2022 and 6,732 so far this year. Nobody is screaming to make vehicles a criminal offense to drive. Lets face it, laws and rules are put in place to make it safer on the roads, and to reduce the number of deaths. Age requirements, a valid driver's license, speed limits, traffic signals, seatbelts, helmet laws, drinking and driving laws are all enacted to make something dangerous safer for everyone. I will admit that I don't know the exact numbers, but my guess is that most of the accidents were caused by an individual not following the rules or laws. Proper enactment of laws and enforcement of these laws does seem to reduce the number of deaths on the roads each year. The same thought process should apply to cannabis, alcohol, cigarettes, vaping, etc. No sense in throwing people in jail for use, but clearly there can be justification for abuse, especially when it can cause harm to others. I think most people are in favor of tightening up on any of the laws for abuse of anything with potential harm to others. The second reason, is placing cannabis back on the banned narcotics list only shifts the earned income from law abiding citizens and government tax income, to the criminals pockets. The government's war on drugs is a complete failure, here in Thailand and everywhere else in the world.
