On the official Thailand FDA website http://permitfortraveler.fda.moph.go.th/ you can put medications into the Check the Drug section. The responses for cannabis and cannabis oil are very different. response:

 

 

 

Cannabis

 

Prohibited Narcotics

 

Narcotics

 

The drug is classified as a narcotic drug of category 1, 4, or 5 according to Narcotics Act B.E. 2522. The importation of narcotic drugs of category 1, 4, or 5 is prohibited. The prohibition includes the cases that patients carry those medications for personal use during traveling. For this reason we cannot issue the permit for anyone to carry narcotic drugs in category 1, 4, or 5 for personal use.

 

 

 

I have also done it for cannabis oil and this is a very different response:

 

 

 

General drug Cannabis Oil

 

The drug is not classified as a narcotic drug or psychotropic substance according to Narcotics Act B.E. 2522. Therefore, a patient under treatment can carry this medication into Thailand for personal use in a quantity NOT EXCEEDIND 30 DAYS OF PRESCRIBED USAGE.

 

 

 

The application for a permit from Thai FDA does not required

I would be careful with that response as it is automatically computer generated in response to having entered anything other than exact spelling of something on yhe narcotis list.

You will get the same generated response if you enter pure gibberish letters. It is a computer program looki g for matches.

 

Cannabis is a category 5 narcotic in all of its forms.

 

Call the FDA Narcotic division if you don't believe me.

Well, wouldn't cannabis have an automatic answer just because it is a class 5 substance, just as cannabis oil, would hae that vague generic computer generated reply?
i suspect if you would have written milk thistle or 'horainol' you would have gotten the same response as the second one simply because they would not be in the data base or be there but not under any classification.

Exactly.

 

"Cannabis" - not limited to any one form  - is a prohibited substance. People who have called the FDA narcotics bureau and specifically asked have been informed cannabis oil is not an exception.

Heres FDA response :

 

Dear Sir or Madam,
 
We are sorry to tell you that cannabidiol oil (CBD oil) made from cannabis or industrial hemp and hemp seed oil are classified as narcotic drugs of category 5 according to Narcotics Act B.E. 2522. The importation of narcotic drugs of category 5 is prohibited.

The prohibition includes the cases that patients carry those medications for personal use during traveling. For this reason, we never issue the permit for anyone to carry narcotic drugs in category 5 for personal use. 

We really apologize for any inconvenience caused.

Well, at least it was a decent nice reply, kudos to them for that. My cynicism would have thought they would just ignore the question...

This is such a terrible terrible situation. There are SO many medical properties of CBD and hemp oil, and yet you cannot become intoxicated from it in the slightest. The stigma that has been carried over from decades of misinformation has taken it's toll. In this day and age you cannot buy a natural medical treatment with scientific weight behind it, a treatment that can help millions and millions of people, because it comes from a specific plant.
This needs to change fast. I know of people who have suffered with things such as PTSD or extreme anxiety disorders, who now dose CBD oil in the mornings, and their lives have been totally changed. They do not live in fear and are not riddled with anxiety anymore, and they can go on with their lives with positivity and contentment. And no they are not walking around stoned, because CBD oil doesn't intoxicate. 

I've read that Thailand actually grows, makes and exports CBD oil as of now, yet they do not sell it to their own people lol? Disgusting

There was a report on CBD on TrueVisions Anywhere Channel 18 just now. I think the gist of it was there is an application to have it approved by the Thai FDA. Let's see if there is any English-language news about this in the next few days.

I"m pretty sure that was the photo that flashed across the screen in the news report, although my other half seems to think it was Kasetsart Uni that was testing the stuff. For some reason they kept talking about "Cannabis" and "Ganja" but I didn't hear anyone mention "CBD" or "Cannabidiol." Part of the story was about Canada now making medicines from the cannabis plant.

Direct link to the drug search page on the FDA site:

http://permitfortraveler.fda.moph.go.th/CheckTheDrug

 

Enter trade name: CBD Oil, Generic name: cannabidiol

 

Search result as per screenshot posted by Xaos.
