Indeed it would, in which case it could/should apply to everyone, until now they have been telling us to show it to the IO, would be ideal if that isn't actually necessary. -

What You Need to Know When Buying Thai Cannabis in 2025
I have been following the growth of the cannabis industry in Thailand very closely since legalization and I wanted to offer a slightly different perspective based on my own experiences. While I understand the concerns raised about low-cost cannabis, I have personally sampled a wide range of products across Thailand, including many of the more affordable options. So far, I have not encountered the serious downsides that were mentioned in the original post. I thought it might be useful to go through some of the points raised and share some thoughts from the ground. It is true that cheap cannabis sometimes means less carefully grown flower, but that does not automatically mean poor quality or unsafe product. Many small growers who cannot afford fancy marketing or flashy packaging are offering excellent, clean weed at fair prices. Pricing alone is not a reliable indicator of quality. Some of the most natural and organically grown cannabis I have found came from growers operating on a small scale with minimal overheads, allowing them to sell at lower prices. While it is certainly wise to avoid PGR-treated cannabis, in practice I have not found widespread evidence that low-cost cannabis is loaded with harmful growth regulators. PGRs are fairly easy to spot visually and by smoking experience. Buds treated with heavy PGRs tend to be rock hard, lack natural aroma, and burn poorly. Many affordable flowers I have sampled burn cleanly, taste fresh, and behave exactly like naturally grown cannabis should. Also, many growers in Thailand use organic fertilizers and simple soil techniques because they are more cost-effective than loading up on synthetic chemical treatments. It is not necessarily true that chemical-free growing is always more expensive. Traditional farming practices that rely on natural composts and minimal intervention are alive and well here. The claim that low-cost cannabis is commonly sprayed with artificial terpenes to mask mold seems exaggerated. In my experience, obvious terpene spraying leaves a cloying, unnatural scent that is easy to detect. Most of the cheaper weed I have smelled and smoked has had a very natural nose to it, and I have not come across mold issues. Of course, in any market you can find occasional bad examples, but that does not mean the majority of low-cost cannabis is tampered with. It is true that not every low-cost vendor provides lab results, but that is also the case across many premium shops. A fancy COA is not necessarily a guarantee of real quality. Without enforced third-party testing, it is difficult to rely solely on a certificate anyway. At the end of the day, smell, look, feel, and experience remain the best indicators of quality for most consumers. There are definitely gaps in Thailand’s regulatory structure for cannabis, but again, this affects the entire market, not just low-cost vendors. I have seen expensive dispensaries offering very average flower at premium prices, so price alone does not protect you from inconsistencies. I completely support the idea of encouraging safe and responsible cannabis production in Thailand, but I also believe that low-cost cannabis is being unfairly painted as dangerous without sufficient evidence. Many small growers are producing beautiful, natural flower at affordable prices without resorting to harmful practices. The cannabis scene in Thailand is diverse. With a little care and experience, it is entirely possible to find clean, safe, and enjoyable cannabis at all price levels. I would encourage people to trust their own senses and experiences rather than assume that expensive automatically means safe or that affordable automatically means dangerous. Just thought I would share my two cents from personal experience. It would also be helpful to see some actual evidence, testing data, or documented reports to substantiate some of these concerns. If there are real patterns of contamination or health risks with lower-cost cannabis, having clear and verifiable information would help everyone make better-informed decisions. -
