Summary:

Thailand's move into the cannabis industry hasn't been easy. As the first country in Southeast Asia to legalize cannabis for medical and recreational use, Thailand has faced a lot of challenges. This case explains Thailand's path to legalization and its policy implications. It describes the challenges the government has faced. The change has been eventful and complicated at the same time. Legalization has boosted tourism after the pandemic but also brought new problems. Decriminalizing cannabis was challenging because the government had to balance economic growth while balancing public health. In this case, students will be asked to analyze Thailand's cannabis policies and the policy's impact on agriculture and tourism. Students will assess the government's steps taken during legalization. This case will challenge students to apply business concepts to a real-world problem. By reading the case and answering the discussion questions, students will begin to understand the difficulties of controversial product marketing.
