The House of Representatives has passed a revised kratom bill that will enable people to sell kratom-based products online.
MPs voted 205 in favour, 58 against, with five abstentions.
At present people can sell kratom plants (Mitragyna speciosa) and leaves but kratom-based goods including food and drinks are not allowed to be sold.
Sanhaphot Suksrimuang, a Palang Pracharath Party MP from Nakhon Si Thammarat who heads the committee set up to scrutinise the amended bill, said it will allow farmers and individuals to sell kratom plants, leaves and products made from them, directly to customers, including online.
However, the sale of kratom and food that contains it will not be permitted to people aged under 18, pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers.
