Thai alternatives to smoking cannabis?
I’m glad you brought up the potential illegality of cannabis-infused oil because it also ties into another reason why vapes are illegal in Thailand. For those who may not be familiar with the legal details, natural forms of cannabis such as flowers, buds, and all other unprocessed cannabis plant materials are no longer classified as illegal narcotics in Thailand. This means they can be consumed legally without issue. Most high quality cannabis buds themselves naturally contain between 20 to 30 percent THC, which is completely legal despite the high THC content because it is in its natural form. However, any cannabis extract product that contains more than 0.02 percent THC remains illegal. This is why commercially produced THC vape cartridges, many of which are openly sold in cannabis shops in Thailand, are actually illegal. They contain concentrated THC levels that exceed the legal limit, making them a much bigger legal risk than simply vaping dry herb. Dry herb vaping is just a method of consuming natural cannabis that has been ground up by heating it up, a concept that is essentially not different from smoking it in a joint or using a bong. It is also important to distinguish THC vape cartridges from nicotine vapes. Both types of vapes are technically illegal in Thailand, but for different reasons. Nicotine vapes, which contain harmful additives and chemicals, are banned primarily due to health concerns and regulations surrounding tobacco alternatives. However, THC vape cartridges are illegal for an additional reason, mainly because they contain THC extract in concentrations far higher than what is legally permitted. This makes them more of a legal risk than nicotine vapes, as they violate both the country’s vape ban and its restrictions on high content THC cannabis extracts. Cannabis-infused oil is a more complicated issue. The Thai government distributes a couple of brands of cannabis extract oil through government hospitals for medical purposes, particularly for pain management and other health conditions. These oils are typically low in THC and high in CBD. In my opinion, they seem to be made from low-quality locally outdoor-grown cannabis, and I question their effectiveness and content of any useful amounts of any cannabinoids at all, but that is a discussion for another time. That said, I have seen many people on this forum talk about making their own cannabis-infused oil for personal use, and it seems to be a common practice in Thailand. If someone were ever questioned about having possession of it, it would be difficult to distinguish the legal differences homemade cannabis oil from the cannabis oil distributed through government hospitals without sending it to a lab for THC percentage testing. Realistically, that is not something authorities are likely to do unless someone is caught with large quantities, making it look like they are selling or distributing it. The key issue is that any oil you make yourself is obviously going to contain far more than the legally permissible amount of THC, but it is unlikely to attract any attention from local authorities. There are also both online and offline shops in Thailand openly selling locally made cannabis-infused oil with high THC levels. Even a former forum member whose wife owns a small cannabis shop in Phuket makes and sells it through their shop. So the question is, if you are making your own oil from legally purchased cannabis flower for personal use, does that qualify as an illegal THC extract product under the law, or is it just another form of personal preparation? If you are not selling it or producing it in large quantities, it seems unlikely that it would be treated the same way as mass-produced THC vape cartridges or a high-THC oil being made and sold commercially. Bottom line, I would not be concerned if you are making small amounts of cannabis-infused oil for personal use. And even if you wanted to buy it instead, I could name at least half a dozen websites that openly sell it in Thailand, suggesting that homemade, non-mass-produced cannabis oil is widely available and not something authorities are actively cracking down on. Correct me if you think any of this is wrong, but that is my take on it. -

Being black in Thailand
True. I suppose my experiences with black people have been quite positive, which is why I view them in a favorable light. I used to play golf with a black American guy in Chiang Mai. Martial arts instructor, really nice person. -
