Popular Post driveout Posted September 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted September 2, 2023 I found this information on a website: "Category 5 consists of narcotics which do not belong under category 1 – 4, such as opium" Category 5 belongs to drugs such as Kratom and cannabis. So opium is legal in Thailand? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the raw form of opium that comes direct from the plant without any changes or some kind of mix, just 100% raw natural opium. The medical version is probably extracted.

bob smith Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) so just to clarify. If one takes a knife to the poppy and makes a small incision in the pod, then lets the resulting opium latex drip on to a pre rolled cigarette, would this be legal? asking for a friend.

impulse Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Not sure why the reclassification to Cat 5 (if it happened) is an issue. The fine and prison time seem the same for both, according to driveout's lawyerly link. Edited September 3, 2023 by impulse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fine and prison time seem the same for both, according to driveout's lawyerly link. Category 5: fine of up to Baht 1,500,000 (one million, five hundred thousand Thai baht) and imprisonment not exceeding 15 years; If its for personal use like 1 gram that will just give you fine of maybe 2000baht and maybe maximum of 1 month prison time. It depends what you do with it, if you distribute it in large quantities then it applies to the high punishment. But if you have coka 1 gram it’s for sure prison time. I am guessing category 5 is soft on persona use of the drugs and if you don’t have large amounts. maybe I am totally wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I doubt I'll be growing opium poppies any time soon. Well, unless Anutin makes it a "cash crop." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean when did cannabis become cat 5, was it on the other cat before? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
