There’s a small cannabis shop in my quiet soi that doesn’t seem to get much foot traffic, but it’s always open in the evenings, usually until around midnight. Last night, for the first time since it opened up about eight or ten months ago, it was closed. At first I assumed they were just taking a night off, but then I remembered the new laws went into effect yesterday, which might explain it.
I’m curious how shops in the main tourist areas are responding to the changes. Have any of the big and expensive cannabis stores around Sukhumvit, like in Nana, Asoke, Soi 11, etc, shut down, or are they still operating as usual?
I assume at some point they’ll all set up systems to provide medical slips for tourists, but that takes time to implement. In the meantime, are they still selling like normal I wonder? And has the usual smell of cannabis in the air around those streets changed at all?
If anyone’s been through those areas in the last 24-48 hours and noticed anything different, I’d be interested to hear.
