Correct answer: D

In 2018, Thailand became the first Southeast Asian country to legalize the licensed medical use of marijuana by amending its Narcotics Act. The amendment was approved by the Thai National Legislative Assembly, allowing the use of cannabis for medical and research purposes under government control. This marked a significant step toward reforming drug laws in the region, where most countries have strict anti-drug regulations.
