I have a friend in the states that has been a pot flusher for years even when it was legal. He buys some smokes it could be days hours or minutes and he has the urge to flush before he changes his mind. Of course by the next day regrets it and buys some more. Told him numerous times to give it to a friend and he makes a run for the toilet just can,t control the urge. Likely has flushed pounds over the years ! Next time take a deep breath before you flush.

The only other time I have ever flushed was when the cops were literally at my door. One of the big dispensaries is running a huge sale right now. Legal to buy? Who knows?

We can confirm that the Thai police are already checking prescriptions, even though the new law is at least 120 days away and currently paused.

Wait, what? Now it's paused? I can buy again? Good lord. TIT is making my head spin. I can buy legally, without a prescription for 120 days? This is a crazy place. I may buy back what I flushed. 

Isn't having 6 ounces a felony crime, even with a prescription? I believe the prescription allows up to 30 grams. I flushed about 6 ounces. Took a while. It was very depressing. 

Cannabis is illegal now without a license. What is going on here? He didn't pay for his ride -- but the bigger issue is the cannabis. How was this ignored? Is it illegal or not without a prescription? This is so confusing.

Flushing good weed down the toilet??? That's a crime in itself! 😂 

 

When they decriminalized it in June 2022 they let something like 3,500 people out of the prisons in Thailand for cannabis related offenses. I doubt if they really want to go back to filling the prisons with weed offenders again. The prisons are already overloaded. Time will tell, but I suspect enforcement will mainly be limited to fines and confiscation. 

It was traumatic. I stalled two days. Then I thought: This amount is too much. This is a felony amount. I cannot take that risk. It was like flushing love and money down the toilet. I did it because I am unclear what the laws are and the enforcement are. Tomorrow I will get the stupid prescription BS. And I suppose I will keep it under 30 grams unless instructed otherwise.

It seems 30 grams is the maximum allowed per prescription purchase, but the law does not clearly state any possession limits. It is still a gray area. Many people likely stocked up before the law changed, so plenty are sitting on six to twelve month supplies. We will have to wait and see how it plays out. So far, there have been no reports of arrests for possession, so no need to panic yet. If things do start to tighten up and you are concerned, worst case you can always flush it. I would not stress until at least the sixty day grace period ends at the end of August, which was probably intended to let shops clear out existing stock. For now, you can still walk into any Sukhumvit weed shop and buy as much as you want, so everything is still in flux. At the end of August there could also be some additional delays made on enforcement too. It's all a coin toss right now.

DAMN!!! I threw it out. AAAAGH. Man. I wish I hadn't. I was sitting on 12 months, yes. Down the toilet. 

I have read that hash is not legal. It's not flower. Am I reading wrong, or nobody really knows  yet? If it is legal, surely they don't weigh it the same as flower. Also, it's considered a narcotic, but cannabis flower is not. Can anyone sort this?

Yes, I haven’t seen any official announcements on this yet. Maybe as long as you have a medical certificate and the amount you hold is clearly for personal use, not large enough to suggest resale or export, it should not be a problem. But who really knows. We will only know for sure if they start cracking down and making arrests based on possession amounts.

I read that it's 30 grams max. It's supposed to represent 30 days. Apparently, the license says max 30 grams. I am scrambling to remain legal. They don't make it very bloody clear. I have to figure out details or risk potential prison. 

Serious question: If she is sacked, do we potentially get legal cannabis back? I am totally ignorant about Thai politics.

On June 27th, Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsuthin ordered that cannabis cannot be sold unless buyers have a medical prescription. PorThor 33 prescription form is necessary, but there is a 30-90 day grace period in effect according to several articles I've read.  I recommend reading more about this than a weed shop's response. 

I got my medical cannabis ID card yesterday. It was quick, cheap, and easy. Whatever the actual law is and whether it's going to be enforced or not, I'm at least capable of providing evidence that I respect Thailand's rule. If I don't need this card, then I just wasted a bit of time and money. If I do need it, I've got it... no stress situation.

What is/was the maximum bud you can keep at any time? I have had to massively downsize. It broke my heart. But, #1 rule is, don't get arrested.

More than a few contradictions meaning their new rules are void, meaningless.

Well, I would not want to be explaining that from jail though. 

He was just about to turn green and tear up all his clothes. Got him in time. 

And let's be clear about how the new rules will actually work: 

CANNABIS USER: "My wittle pinkie hurts!" 

CANNABIS DOCTOR: "He is you medicine. You want jub jub? 2000 baht krapom."

He wasn't working alone. His friend, Rif, got away. 

Encrypt your computer and encrypt your cloud storage. And have a bad memory for passwords. Where are the victims of this "crime"? 

This is very unfair. I've never been stopped for my anaconda.

Could you please DM me these. I want to be done with this nonsense. Thanks!

It was truely, that way, back in CA for the prescription.

Yup. I was there. If you had any prescription for anything, you'd get it. You were supposed to bring SOME kind of medical documentation. Here, there will be a witch doctor with a bone through their nose.

Perfect. That's what I need to hear. I will get a prescription for, "My dog stepped on a bee."

What's up with that pic for this article??? Bizarre pandering

Notably, a staggering 28,809 foreigners were caught breaking traffic laws, with Russians, Chinese, and Britons leading the list.

Don't they mean traffic suggestions? When I got my driver's license, I was told to simply move like a snake or a river when I drive. So far, no accidents. 

"Incorrectly displaying licence plates can also lead to fines up to 2,000 baht, warned Mr. Seksom."

Funny. Try that in USA and  you'll be wearing an orange jumpsuit.

0.2% refers to EXTRACTS, not plants/flowers. The plants/flowers have no such restriction. How is it possible.....?

How many high-tech labs do you think the local police have to isolate and measure this one chemical in relationship to the total gross weight? I'm going to guess zero. However, this being Thailand, they arrest you for the crime and YOU have to prove it was .2%. 

I wonder if they bothered testing nutrition.

There are Western doctors that can provide a diagnosis via Skype in this day and age. 

I would try to find a Western doctor who does online consultations for a 2nd opinion / diagnosis. 

They may require blood tests, whatever ... get the tests done in a local hospital and send results to the Western doctor by fax. 

 

Skype no longer exists. It was replaced by some MS thing. But your idea is right.
