Thailand's junta-appointed parliament voted to amend the Narcotic Act of 1979 on Tuesday.
It happened after an extra parliamentary session was arranged to push bills through before the New Year's holidays, according to Reuters news agency.
The amendment will become law when it is published in the government gazette, The Bangkok Post reported.
"This is a New Year's gift from the National Legislative Assembly to the government and the Thai people," said Somchai Sawangkarn, chairman of the drafting committee, during the televised session.

The way of the world these days. I wonder what the ultimate price will be.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel - We all know medical acceptance is just one step in to road to recreational use: drugs, booze, or anything in between… there is a hell of a social price to pay. I have friends in big pharma, I have friends who died from drugs. I have a step daughter that seems to be hopelessly addicted, and it hurts my wife and me so. At the end of the day I guess that’s what freedom is all about “personal choice”. We have to take the good with the bad, and know that there are never any guarantees.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - It will be interesting to see how everything pans out sir. I personally believe it is in the drug/booze category.
