Thailand makes cannabis buds a customs offence

From 17 June 2026 customs began treating cannabis buds as a fineable customs offence, with penalties of up to ten years or a 500,000 baht fine. The change targeted the export trade: customs reported 37,210 kg seized in 3,309 cases between October 2025 and June 2026.[1][2]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Thailand here.
