The Hazy Legalization of Marijuana in Thailand

On June 9, Thailand became the first country in Asia-and only the third in the world, after Canada and Uruguay-to decriminalize cannabis nationwide. The Thai government is pushing for marijuana to become the new cash crop but has insisted that it was not legalizing recreational pot use, However, people like Chokwan “Kitty” Chopaka, a longtime cannabis advocate, who runs a shop in central Bangkok selling cannabis buds and gummies, say the reality is different.
Thailand’s frenzied weed free-for-all has met growing pushback and the lack of clarity in current regulations leaves many businesses and growers unable to plan their next moves. It will also take time for Thai weed producers to become competitive in the global cannabis trade when it comes to quality and pricing.

Even in CA its legal but companies still require employees to show negative during their yearly drug test check! Cannabis is neither coca*ne or hero*n. It helps people with cancer and those that do suffer with chronic pains without being a severe drug! Snoop Dog would’ve been gone by now by your logic!

I have lived in Thailand for about 18 years and what seems to be the biggest problem (again) with the "legalization" of cannabis is the government does not speak with one unified voice, more like many different officials at national, provincial, municipal, district and even down to village level repeatedly contradicting one another, so there is no crystal clear set of policies and regulations. So you might buy a bag of weed in Bangkok and then go to another part of the country and get busted for possession of whatever amount and/or potency. As the title of this video says it's still very hazy.

She talks fact, and charge 1,000 baht a gram for her product. Very bourgeois indeed. Cannabis is a cash crop, and the biggest dealers are probably the family and crew of the Minister of Agriculture who passed the law. Agriculture is controlled by the Man in Thailand, you think they will allow for free enterprise? The more things change, the more they remain the same.

@@denisodonnell8831 a lot will agree with you on your point . But there are several reasons why indoor is a good idea . 1. Taste and smell. Trichome development which we use to make concentrated oils separated from the herb plant which is the medicinal part is far more superior and can be controlled much easier using an indoor system . 2. It takes only 60 days of flowering stage to complete and mature for harvest compared to several months. 3. Water usage . It takes only a 1/10 of the water compared to outdoor grows . 3. Security . Plants indoor are locked up in safe and secure setting and not outside for thieves to see . 4. When plants get sick and they do . I’m an indoor setting you able to manage the plants and treat them for sickness and get a much faster response from a plant .

I am currently in Bangkok and a longtime stoner. Ironically I quit smoking weed a month before I came here because I was afraid of the drug laws here. By strange coincidence I then found out that it had just been legalized here. Too late, I already quit and my lungs feel better. When I looked into it however I realized that they are charging $25 a gram and $60 an eighth. These are ridiculous prices similar to 1995 in Ca, USA. In the states when it was legalized we expected prices to go down, however predatory capitalist entities immediately and still charge these ridiculous prices. So it is very sad and counterproductive that Thailand immediately started off with super expensive California style high prices. Get it together more, Thailand👎

The contemporary Thai prices - for weed with a decent kick - are absurd (500-800 baht a freakin' gram) especially when seen in the light of the cost in the 70s and 80s of so-called 'Buddha sticks' from the Northeast (some of the finest herb ever): off the street a single stick [weighing anything between 1 and a half to 3 grams] would generally cost you 20 baht (then the equivalent of US$1), and sometimes 15 (in bulk less again of course). Even taking inflation into account the prices charged in Thai 'dispensaries' are totally OTT. Most of this stuff is hydro under lights gear - requiring some serious capital investment Hopefully the situation will change for the better when the outdoor crops (presently being grown nationwide by countless individuals) are ready for harvest in late October - November. There should be a massive glut that should have the authorities scratching their heads wondering where do we go now? Meanwhile in Australia the price of good shit has remained pretty constant for something like 30 years - roughly 250 baht a gram. That should be the absolute maximum price in Thailand. And finally, one of the biggest upsides of the 'changes' underway is that the stinky rubbish compressed stuff (from Laos I believe) - around since the 90s - should have no further place in the market.

I lived abroad for 30 years and Thailand is by far the most confused/confusing country. Many questions are being answerd with: "Yes, but no...", or "Yes, but maybe not"; for example, I rode motorcycles for more than 100.000 km without wearing a helmet, but it is officially illegal. Everybody does it and knows that they can be fined at the next police check. Now the big news is that "Thailand legalized cannabis" but the truth is that getting high is still illegal. A little research shows that, according to the Tourist Authority of Thailand in June 2022: "The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) removed cannabis with extracts containing no more than 0.2 percent by weight of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) from its banned narcotics list. Extracts containing over 0.2 percent of THC are still illegal in Thailand. THC is the main psychoactive compound in marijuana." Meaning that industrial hemp is legal, cannabis that gets you high is not. Also: "Importantly, it must be noted that smoking of cannabis in public is forbidden. The penalty for this is a potential three-month jail sentence and 25,000 Baht fine. The new cannabis policies permit production and consumption solely for medical or health-related reasons; not recreational purposes." Painting the picture of being able to smoke weed to get high in public places is simply wrong and dangerous. Tourists may be surprised when they get arrested and fined.

But the catch is that this Thc restriction does not apply to the plant itself so you can have legit weed that will stone you. Furthermore you are free to smoke at home or in private places that allow it.

Weed is way too expensive in Thailand for what it's actually worth. A gram should be around 100 baht, but its 300+ baht. A minimum wage in Thailand is around 350 baht per DAY (8hours). Labor fee is extremely low here and for some reason these foolish sellers set the price way to high especially in Bangkok.
