Cannabis in food and for use in Thailand sees brisk sales following decriminalisation

[Shocked farang]

Cannabis has always been widely available in Thailand anyway. In my first trip to the Kingdom back in the 90s, the waiter of a resort I was staying at on Koh Phangan would sell ready made joints to the guests and we could smoke in the rooms. But I would never buy from unknown people as there has always been many cases of the sellers turning the customer to the police. I hope that Thailand remains a Cannabis friendly country!

That's expensive, seriously doubt many will be buying from official outlets at that price

Bought at candy land and it was packed with buyers and not just small quantaties. People hanging out smoking at the bar and hashish available as well.  The skunk i bought can smell it through my shoulder bag

Why? unless you drink alcohol in excess.

Agree one can still buy the tried and tested pressed ganja at 3,000b for 100gram. ie 30baht a gram. 

This is not what these shops are selling. 

 

What is on the market now legally is high quality product which can be used to medicate.

What you are speaking about is usually full of seeds, possibly full of chemicals, rot, and has been in storage for years. ( read more about it )

The two cannot be compared ????

This menu is from July 2021. Does it that they used to sell for medical purpose only (prescriptions?), and now are allowed to sell to anyone?

Can sell to every one

iMPORTANT INFO:

Read this so you don’t get into trouble!

 

Thailand has delisted the cannabis plant and flowers from the narcotics list. Currently consumption, possession, cultivation, and sales of cannabis (roots, stems, leaves, flowers) that is not extraction is LEGAL!

 

But please use it responsibly and safely:

- Do not use in public as you can get in trouble for being a public nuisance carrying up to THB 25,000 fine and up to 3 month prison time.

- Do not use and then drive or operate heavy machinery, your license and be cancelled.

- Do not allow those under the age of 20 acess to cannabis.

- Do not mix cannabis and other substances such as tobacco or alcohol.

- Beware of high THC cannabis flowers as currently there is no regulations on the amount.

- Edible is still not allowed for sale without going through the FDA

 

How long it will stay this way is up to all of you, if we can show that cannabis can bring money and tourist into Thailand, it may stay like this forever. Please help us keep it this way by come and check out what pretty flowers Thailand have to offer.

 

Happy Thai Cannabis Legalization Day.

Or if you're Bill Clinton you smoke but you don't inhale and that should be sure to make it all legal.

Because I finished high school I can understand the difference between a plant, a flower and an extract. Extract limited to 0.2%, plant and flower unlimited.

 

Menu is showing flower, so unlimited in THC content.

I'm sure you can make that distinction unfortunately most of the media and/or the govt spokesmen don't seem to be able to, don't pin it on me.  That said, we are very proud of you that you finished high school, what do you want to be when you grow up,  a journalist?

Yeah right. Ganja has been a staple of thai life longer than i can remember. 90 percent of the people that will drive stoned already are. The 10 percent that haven't are still looking for their keys.

OH no!  I already have a problem finding my keys.   I better stay away from that stuff.   ????

Interesting, though not an activity I would engage. One assumes police will intervene at some point 'cause as far as I understand getting stoned in public is illegal and subject to three months in prison. Didn't know Thais produce hashish.

Yeah its 600 baht for hash not sure of the quantity. 

I think you will find licensed cafés Will be exempt as people may want to sample. Plus its kind ridiculous to raid a seller. 

I have pain that is well controlled by weed

One of the biggest mistakes they have made,which they will come to regret in years to come. 

Yet more road deaths.

Yet more cancers.

Yet more brain problems etc

But what do they care if they are taking in money.

You really don't understand nothing about cannabis from which planet are you coming from 

This while you totally ignore facts which you probably so uneducated about it 

But alcohol you have probably no problems with 

You comment is not 1 of the most redicilos i even seen. Sad for you

You are not technically allowed to sell "any product containing more than 0.2% THC".  Doesn't matter if it's dried flower or an extract.  However, it looks to me like they understand it's very difficult to enforce that for the flower because that would require lab testing, so looks to me like they will just let the boys in brown get their palms greased to allow these places to stay opened instead.

I love reading you when lighting up a very good sativa from Sukumweed!

You should go country side looking for that good THC stuff. They're growing it and they're saving the best buds for themselves (and for some occasional farang)

The prices you see there are for top grade indoor cultivated hydroponic grown with IR lamp weed. Nothing like the locally garden grown version which is much cheaper and a fraction of the strength. It's like comparing a bottle of imported single malt whiskey with a bottle of Leo.

The entire country is an IR lamp.  Hydroponics and lights are only for consistency and when the climate is not conducive for growing it outside.  Also speeds up production with more lamp hours possible.  Thailand doesn't have that climate problem so I am pretty sure they can grow stuff outdoors in Thailand that is every bit as strong as hydroponic indoor stuff.  You just need good seed strains well suited to the climate.

I expect the police are thinking about this as the weed threads drone on. What is allowed, what is not, how can we make money from this. It is all very convoluted and confusing. I am just waiting to get hit by some stoned up guy on a motorbike as I use a bright red painted crossing, 'Jeez man, what are you doing crossing the road there?'.....

No doubt. As have I been living my life not touching ganja or even hanging out with people who do. You may have been living your life but i say you didn't understand what your life was worth if you were willing to go to prison and put your friends and family through hassles just to cop a buzz.

this is just further proof that you have absolutely no understanding of the status quo. I no of NO ONE who has ever paid more than a fine for possession, and the vast majority of those people paid a few thousand baht. There have been highly-publicised outliers, but something else was at play there. 

 

I find a good policy is to reserve comment when you dont know what you are talking about.

I wouldn't count on that. What shall RTP do to get shamefully high bribes from tourist caught in the tourist areas.

This is a stunt from Anutin to get elected. The hemp they legalized is good for making ropes and clothes.

I live in Sweden that has some of the toughest drug laws in Europe and this kind of hemp has been legal all the time because nobody is so stupid that they would smoke it.

I feel sorry for all the misinformed tourists that will get caught

in this "Thai legal weed nonsense campaign".

you truly are clueless, aren't you?

Try growing some 'properly' in Thailand, using available resources then report back about how successful you were?I haven't even managed to find potting soil that will grow weed at any price. I've had to grow in coco using chemical fertilizer.

If he was really stoned,  he probably fell off his bike before he found

his keys and you drove over him.
