Usually for things to be liver toxic, they have to be consumed constantly and in very potent doses. I don't think that really applies to THC edibles. 10mg at most on average. Nah. No worries.

Sure, but there is corruption and abuse in every industry, black markets, etc. Lots of counterfeits in the cigarette industry too. Anyway, not sure how government regulation really stops any of this. There is probably a larger flow of illegal drugs moving through Thailand now than there ever was. So much for regulation and criminalization. Seems to me illegal flow of cannabis is the least of their worries.

Not known to be heavy on the liver though. Acetaminophen and Paracetamol are much more liver toxic, and people take that every day. Also, milk thistle, one of the most amazing herb on the planet (discovered by the Greeks), does wonders for the liver, but also requires strong daily doses. I use it continuously. Everyone who drinks should be taking it.

I think the market found its own level through supply and demand rather than any kind of abuse. You also have to remember that around 90% of cannabis consumption in Thailand is local, so price is a huge factor. As more people entered the business and production increased, sellers had to cut prices to stay competitive and keep products affordable for local buyers. Over-regulating and bringing in heavy government involvement just adds fees and costs that push prices up and slow the market down, which helps no one. Sure, you could argue about the benefits of health regulations and regulation use of pesticides, but look at the reality: go to any salad bar in a high-end Bangkok supermarket, fill up a box of vegetables, and send it to a lab. There’s a good chance you’ll find dangerous levels of pesticides. There’s very little enforcement in Thai agriculture overall. Adding more cannabis regulations and saying it’s under government control doesn’t guarantee clean, pesticide-free weed, just like it doesn’t guarantee clean fruits and vegetables here either.

Fully agreed. That’s also why I like to mix the two, since I enjoy both effects. The edible oil feels much more powerful than vaping, and it gives me more of a body high. I do have to be careful though, because if I take too much oil, I can get a bit of vertigo or feel nauseous. That never happens with vaping, but I also never find vaping to be as strong as the oil. You make a good point: if his goal really is medical use, then he shouldn’t be so focused on smoking. If it’s for medical reasons, it’s usually because you want a physical effect, and in that case, edibles would be the better choice.

The issue here is that the original poster lives in a condo where he’s not even allowed to bring cannabis into the building because of building restrictions. This has been a problem for him for at least six months now. Basically, he wants to be able to smoke in his condo, not go to some remote beach. So he’s looking for legal ways to challenge or get around the building’s rules. Personally, I think it’s a waste of time. Either adapt to the rules or find somewhere else to live that fits your needs. Trying to apply legal methods doesn't seem like the right solution.

You were right before when you said it’s really just one person, or maybe a handful of conservatives, driving all of this. What they’re trying to do doesn’t make sense on any level, not economically, politically, socially, or civilly. So you start to wonder, why even push it when it's going to harm the livelihood of tens of thousands of people. Is it all just about political rivalries and personal vendettas? Or is it about serving personal interests, either of those in government or connected to the alcohol industry? If it’s the government itself, then everything could end quickly if the current administration collapses soon. But if it’s the alcohol cartels behind it, this could remain a source of conflict for a long time.

You posted a topic about this six months ago saying the juristic person wanted to ban weed possession in the building. So isn’t this just a rehash of the same discussion? The legalities of condos imposing restrictions and everything else were already covered in detail in your last thread. Are you expecting some new response now that will magically change everything?

I know, I was being sarcastic. But you've come to a pro-cannabis discussion and now you're dropping anti-cannabis tropes. Wrong place. But what's actually nasty to you about using cannabis? The consumption of THC?

I agree. I live in a condo and consume as much cannabis as I want without anyone knowing. It doesn’t break any rules or bother anyone. You’ve got to adapt to how you consume cannabis when living in a condo, and anyone who can’t figure out a solution to simple problems like this is just being an amateur. Plus, actually smoking anything is unhealthy. So a non-smoking solution would be a healthier method too.

Probably only removes 50%. Same as blowing your smoke into a pillow. But the weed burning emits smoke too. So smell can't really be avoided.

Nobody mentioned drinking. Wrong topic.

I agree. It's a different feeling, inhaling THC versus ingesting it. But I microdose some edible oil, together with the dry herb vape, and at the same time. The best of both worlds and the only way to fly. 😀👍🏼

I promise you don’t want to start trolling me. You’re clearly out of your depth. Ignore list. Sorted. ✔️

Says the dude living in Cambodia. I assume the OP isn’t dying to light up next to a rancid canal or down some dodgy ladyboy alley. How ghetto! Anyway, I don’t smoke it myself, so I don’t have these problems. But you’re not offering anything useful, while I was actually suggesting a practical metal one-hitter, which is a far better option than some delicate glass nonsense. But, if I did smoke it, I’d just step outside my building and spark up a joint in the street without all this one-hitter stealth charade. But the OP is asking about convenient ways to smoke without breaking the rules, although there isn’t really one, unless you utilize one of the methods used to consume cannabis without burning it at all.

One hitters aren’t a good solution at all. If you’re somewhere smoking isn’t allowed, it doesn’t matter if you take one hit or fifty, it’s still not permitted. You’ve completely missed the entire point of the topic. As for one hitters themselves, glass is a terrible choice, fragile and awkward. The best one-hitter option is those small metal baseball bats shaped like a cigarette, usually sold with a dugout. But you can buy just the bats alone, about the size of a cigarette, sturdy, and cheap. Packs of ten run about ten bucks on eBay from China. But none of that solves the problem discussed in the original post. That’s exactly why I recommended a dry herb vaporizer: nothing burns, no smoke or smell, and it actually addresses the issue of not being able to smoke in certain situations. Edibles are another solid alternative if you want to avoid drawing attention.

The whole Government is in disarray right now. The ruling party could fall apart very quickly. They’ve had three different prime ministers in the matter of one week. Don’t be surprised if the whole anti-weed issue melts away in the near future.

I went and checked out Sukhumvit again late last night to see how the wind was blowing (literally) and if there is any real clamp down on weed or not. From what I saw, all the weed shops are open as normal. Plenty of people are still smoking in the weed shops too. I could smell it everywhere on the street as well. It looks like nothing has changed.

That's just a one hitter. Still burns weed and emits smoke. Could still land you in trouble. You need smokeless methods. Dry herb vape the best.

Or it could go the other way. People could stop buying from stores and just buy online because they don't want the hassle of all the paperwork required to buy from a legitimate shop in the future. I assume the online vendors will still operate rogue, the same way they do now. Anyway, no need to do anything for at least 60 days. You can still buy whatever you want from any store at the moment without any restrictions. No point to even get a card at this point. 60 days from now, the whole thing could still be waffling around or even scrapped, with no requirements for a card or prescription ever needed. So it's best to just watch and wait to see what happens. The information from the shop that I posted above only requires an ID card at the moment to purchase from them going forward. But I assume many of those shops around Sukhumvit probably aren't requiring anything yet at all, especially street stalls.

Yes, more or less. You need to get a medical use card first for 500 Baht and then pay 200 Baht more for the prescription. The photos I posted above shows samples of both items. As stated, sleep disorder is all that is required to get the card and prescription. Then renew the prescription for a 30 day period whenever you want to buy more cannabis. Otherwise, no need to renew the prescription if no plans to buy more. And just keep a valid card at all times and renew the card once a year for 500 Baht to avoid any problems.

More information from a shop that I am familiar with (Thai translation of their message into English): "I was just informed that the government is now giving 2 months until August 31st for people to prepare for the changes. Customers must bring their herbal prescription card going forward to buy at the store. Right now, just your ID card is enough to purchase cannabis, if it is not yet convenient for you to go and get your herbal prescription card." There is information below that they also shared from a clinic that is offering the Medical Marijuana Use card. Apparently the cost is 500 Baht for the card, plus a 200 Baht fee for the prescription. Total is 700 Baht. The card is valid for one year, but the 200 Baht prescription is only valid for one month and needs to be renewed once it expires after 30 days. But if you don't plan to buy cannabis every month then you only need to renew the prescription whenever you plan to buy more cannabis. The clinic below will also issue the prescription renewals online I believe so that a visit to the clinic is not required to renew the monthly prescription. Apparently they will also issue a card and prescription to anyone that states that they have sleeping disorders. 📌 ขึ้นทะเบียนผู้ป่วยกัญชาทางการแพทย์ 💻ออนไลน์ Telemedicine Consultant ☑️ขึ้นทะเบียนออกใบรับรองแพทย์ 3 เดือน “ฟรี” ถึงวันที่ 4 ก.ค. 2568 เฉพาะเข้ามาทำที่คลินิกเท่านั้น 1. บัตรสมาร์ทการ์ดผู้ป่วยกัญชาทางการแพทย์ 1 ปี พกพาสะดวก จะลิ้งค์ข้อมูลของคลนิกและตรวจสอบประวัติการป่วยการใช้กัญชาผ่านเจ้าหน้าที่ หรือใช้แทนใบรับรองแพทย์แบบกระดาษ (กรณีไม่จำเป็นต้องใช้แบบกระดาษ) 2. ใบรับรองผู้ป่วยกัญชาทางการแพทย์ เพื่อยืนยันการเป็นผู้ป่วยใช้เพื่อรักษา (กรณีจำเป็นใช้แบบกระดาษเพื่อยืนยันบริษัทหรือสถานที่ทำงานที่ร้องขอเอกสาร) 3. ใบสั่งจ่ายสมุนไพรควบคุม (กัญชา) จากแพทย์ เพื่อซื้อช่อดอก 30 กรัม/เดือน จากร้านจำหน่าย หรือสถานพยาบาลที่ได้รับอนุญาตเท่านั้น ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ ✔️ทำออนไลน์กรอกข้อมูลทำประวัติที่นี่ : https://forms.gle/xJXArVGiXAUfY3T59 ✔️ตรวจสอบการอัพเดทรายชื่อที่นี่ : https://docs.google.com/document/d/13Ivs1Vt1vHHO0cvcoX_y8RClP1o3dvmF/edit?usp=drivesdk&ouid=116125976538520321934&rtpof=true&sd=true ✔️ติดต่อเจ้าหน้าที่หรือสอบถามที่นี่ : https://lin.ee/q3d429a ✔️แผนที่คลินิก : Maps ; https://maps.app.goo.gl/1MMwMwnFXzvtobaS7?g_st=ic ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ 🚫 คำเตือน : ระวังมิจฉาชีพ 🚫 👉🏻ให้กรอกจากลิงค์ที่แอดมินส่งให้เท่านั้น ห้ามกรอกจากลิงค์บุคคลภายนอกเด็ดขาด หากกรอกจากลิงค์บุคคลอื่นทางพิสิษฐ์สหคลินิกไทย-จีน จะไม่รับผิดชอบทุกกรณี 👩🏻‍💼ติดต่อสอบถามได้ที่ พิสิษฐ์สหคลินิกไทยจีน(ปทุมธานี) เปิดบริการ 9:00-17:00 น.(ปิดทุกวันอังคาร) Tel : 0619185592, 0966819481 Line ID : @phisitclinic

https://www.bangkokpost.com/thailand/general/3058697/thai-cannabis-industry-thrown-into-chaos-as-government-aims-to-recriminalise-weed Thai cannabis industry thrown into chaos New rules are political revenge and public will pay, says vendor in Khaosan PUBLISHED : 26 Jun 2025 at 17:26 WRITER: Bloomberg News Three years after becoming the first Asian nation to decriminalise cannabis, Thailand is poised to reverse course amid political turmoil and now requires a prescription to buy cannabis at any of the 10,000-18,000 dispensaries that have sprung up since 2022. The new rules have thrown the fledgling industry into chaos and sparked criticism from pro-cannabis activists, who championed liberalisation as a way to boost Thailand’s wellness and tourism sectors. Dispensaries must now sell only cannabis produced by farms that have obtained the “Good Agricultural and Collection Practices” certifications issued by the government, and amounts are capped at a 30-day supply per customer. The latest regulations, which went into effect Thursday, followed a pledge by Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra’s ruling Pheu Thai Party to toughen the country’s drug policy and limit the use of cannabis for only medical purposes. That promise came just days after the second-largest bloc in the government coalition, the pro-weed Bhumjaithai Party, left to join the opposition after a dispute over a cabinet seat. Compliance costs will put further strain on dispensaries, which have already been struggling with high competition and fewer-than-expected foreign tourists the past year, said Rattapon Sanrak, owner of Highland Cafe, a dispensary in Bangkok’s backpacker-heavy Khaosan district. “These moves are political revenge, but it’s the public who’ll pay,” Mr Rattapon said. “The majority of farms in the country are not yet certified by the government. And the products that don’t comply with the regulations that are in the pipeline will have nowhere to go but underground.” Public Health Minister Somsak Thepsutin said earlier this week that the government plans to put cannabis back on the country’s list of illegal narcotics — it is currently classified as a “controlled herb.” And over the next several weeks, new rules will be drafted to require every dispensary to have a doctor on site as part of licensing criteria, he said. Many businesses said they were blindsided by the abrupt rollout of the new rules, which were published on Wednesday night with no grace period. Numerous enterprises shut their doors on Thursday while they decided next steps. Some entrepreneurs said they are mulling a class-action lawsuit to at least delay the new requirements. An advocacy group named Writing Thailand’s Cannabis Future urged people to protest at the Public Health Ministry on July 7. The group said the new regulations will not halt the recreational use of weed, but lead to the sales of fake medical prescriptions. “A medical certificate can absolutely be bought,” said Prasitchai Nunual, the group’s secretary-general. “Permission slips given by so-called established experts will lead to corruption and prescriptions that don’t reflect any medical reality.” The University of the Thai Chamber of Commerce (UTCC) estimated the domestic cannabis industry at 28 billion baht (US$865 million) in 2022 after decriminalisation went into effect, adding that it had potential to reach 43 billion baht in 2025.

I just learned that the shop I usually buy from was closed yesterday, but then they sent a text this morning saying they’ll be open for business today as usual. However, in their message, they stated that customers won’t be allowed to smoke in the shop like before. Normally, you can sample any of their strains right there in the store before buying, but that’s off the table now, I guess. They also included a screenshot of a LINE chat that a vendor had with their local district public health office. As far as I know, the new regulations have already been published in the Royal Gazette, so it seems the information in the chat might already be outdated. Here’s an English translation of the short chat exchange they shared with me (note that there’s no date or time shown on the chat, so it’s unclear exactly when it took place). Chat translation: Provincial Public Health Office: Hi Vendor: Hello, I would like to ask about the measures for cannabis shops. Are they still allowed to open for business as usual? PPHO: The shop can still open because we have to wait for the announcement in the Royal Gazette first. Vendor: Thank you PPHO: If there is any further announcement, the vendor will be notified. Vendor: The buyer does not need a prescription from a doctor, is that correct? PPHO: Now you can still do it as before. Vendor: Thank you
