A day after decriminalising marijuana growth, Thailand's government has begun handing out a million free cannabis plants, but with a warning against recreational use and smoking in public.
Thailand has launched its campaign to give away one million free cannabis plants — but is discouraging people from getting high and is warning recipients could still fall foul of the law.
