If these laws go into effect and weed becomes medicinal only, then doctors will have an overwhelming rush of new “patients” 😀
medicinal as in 0,2% thc you don't need to have doctor papers they just can not sell the high thc strains
yeah problem is thc is where the medicinal value is for most people like parkinson cbd aint gonna do shit about that.@@asianwanderlust
@@asianwanderlustpackage says .2% but it hits like 30% haha Thai people don’t give a shit, they will just repackage it and give you a wink
They've announced some changes which in my opinion won't be implemented.
F all will change as Anutin who was the Health Minister who pushed for the weed deal to be decriminalised, who is the current Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister is in a position of power due to his party, the Bumjaithai Party being a very important part of the current government coalition.
The changes if any that were announced will be minimal due to the the fact that the Government needs to keep Bumjaithai happy and in the coalition to continue.
So the changes announced will not in my opinion be enforced and things will continue as they are.
They really don't need doctors to prescribe drugs. Laws in thailand allow the pharmacists to prescribed drugs. It will just become like the pharmaceuticals where you just go in, they give you a prescription on the spot and you buy it.
This EXACT thing happened in California back in the 2000s, and it was legalized for medical use. What happened then is thousands of "doctors" popped out of nowhere to recommend medical weed. It was a HUGE industry in itself.... My weed "doctor" was a dentist from Las Vegas ! 😂😂
yup and exactly that's how it will be here... Dentists can write prescriptions here in Thailand..
So basicly what the South Park episode was based on
Oklahoma waves from the background with more medical dispensaries than all of California's rec or med
😂😂 sweet
Same thing happened in Arizona
The fact that over half the population applied for license and there has been no "major" negative incident since weed has been legal proves that the law is doing more good than bad and shouldn't be changed but adapted too help Thai people profit more
Yes they need to regulate how the weed is sourced. From the information i got from a number of shops, most of the weed is imported- which is not helping local Thais.
@@garynoone672unfortunately the locals haven’t got the knowledge to grow it well. More importantly how to cure it.
There's an old saying in Kalasin. "Every farmer has at least one ganja plant growing somewhere on their property."
@sirsillybilly one issue I can already see is the day/night periods in Thailand. Most foreign cultivars will try to flower straight away as they have short daylight periods in Thailand. This can be resolved by supplimental lighting though. I think within a short time they can learn to grow, harvest dry and cure good quality cannabis.
Why should “negative incidents” be the only measure? Weed could have long term negative impacts (it’s strongly linked to psychosis and schizophrenia for example), that are also relevant
I don’t understand why anything needs to change. I just visited Thailand on a cannabis holiday and it was amazing. It’s not like Amsterdam where you have people walking around smoking weed openly, stoned off their head or on mushrooms, etc. Not where I was in Sukumvit anyway. The whole scene is very respectful and you can barely tell anyone is even stoned. This is what I would say to the Thai government clean up your kiddy porn problem before worrying about harmless cannabis.
“you can barely tell anyone is stoned” yeah cause their trying to hide it from asshole thai police lol no way thailand is better than the dam for a gram. Maybe things have changed i guess
I agree I was there and it was a respectful scene. But I’m curious to how open air prostitution and child porn is ok but cannabis is so bad.
damn right. !
In the centrum ( redlight district) it is not more possible smoking weed openlly new rules in Amsterdam!!! I live in a small city 40 km from Amsterdam we have 7 coffeeshops ( better end cheaper) than amsterdam ( toerist weed by manny coffeeshops ) ja voor weed en hasj kan je beter naar Nederland dan naar Thailand groeten uit Nederland
@@jackwims417what city
Whats wild is that sugar is legal all around the world.
real shit
Alcohol is healthy and legal choice
What’s crazy is nobody asked
Cellphones too.
@@myfriendgoo2816
What a shame really, I dont smoke personally but I have never seen anyone causing any issues while smoking weed - its a shame to see once again so many buissness affected which it will do with this law and im guessing it will be another thing to damage tourism - to hell with it they should ban alcohol as well or why dont they enforce a proper law like making it mandatory to everyone in Thailand to wear a helmet while riding a motorbike helmet but I suppose that would be a sensible thing to do 😢
When I lived in Thailand between 97and 2005. Weed smoking was never allowed.. yet we smoked constantly... 😂😂 I lived on kho tao island and the head police guy ran a go go bar. His sister sold weed down by where the ferry arrived. 😂
Great time to be in Thailand
Things won't changed much.
It will be the same as before it was legal, just know the right people.
Sound like everything in Thailand lol
In the slightly less mainstream touristy areas it’s always been for sale in the reggae bars ,
The local police used to receive a fee to turn a blind eye
Sex trafficking is illegal in Thailand 😂you do the math
IMO Nothing that severe is gonna change, i have a feeling they will have "Doctors" at every "medicinal" shop to provide prescriptions. Happy smoking my friends 😁
They will likely be wearing lab coats and have stethoscopes.
@Pennywise4 and that's exactly what's gonna happen, this business is bringing billions, is not going anywhere
Prostitution is also illegal in Thailand.
I notice PrikPot is now a medical dispensary and they say it takes 60 seconds to get certified. Here in California 20 years ago, you paid a “doctor” $100 amend he would give you a medical MJ card.
Yep you’re probably quite correct
Watching this video with a joint in my mouth while sitting at the beach in Thailand.
so what?
I GUARANTEE that even after the new "regulations" are implemented mid next year that NOTHING will change in regards to the experience of the buying/consumption process except for a possible extra "pharmacist" working in the shops to "script write", maybe some or most of the sketchy mobile cart dealers will be gone, and maybe there will be a bit fewer options for those who wish to consume outside their home/hotel. That will be all anyone notices after any new laws are implemented. It's way too late now to turn around now, and any change that impacts the HUGE population of consumers here will not happen. Everyone, even the harshest of critics, would agree at this point that the negative effect to the economy/infrastructure etc would be way too costly and damaging at this point, not to mention the hugely embarrassing loss of face Thailand would experience.....
Yes so tru it will never stop whit weed never.
Those are big differences. Allowed outdoors vs no longer allowed to use outdoors. Don’t be dense.
It should be banned , filthy smelly shit !
Regulations should focus on the growers and the quality offered as medical grade.
This brown crap isn’t medicine, it’s a headache.
@@xlxfx you're the dense one. What planet are you on where you think it has ever been legal to consume outside before here? even at the shops the consumption area doesn't usually happen outside and if it does it still has to be a private enclosed partially at least property. idiot
Booked for Feb my man, the convenience was epic last trip glad it’s April for changes, good info 🙏👍🔥
Thanks for the video man. I am surprised that you are the only one on youtube who has uploaded an update on the weed laws since this a concern for people who blaze. Very informative. I should be good for Songkran 2024. Can't wait.
When does the law come into affect? So many shops in Pattaya are going to go out of business soon.
8:31
Prostitution is also illegal in Thailand and how hard is the Thai government enforcing that law? Most likely scenario will be that the authorities will turn a blind eye to rec use, so long as it’s not blatantly done in public and they will use the laws to shake down foreigners.
Everything was cheap in Thailand but weed. I remember being in shock at the price.
just know some people that buy bulk they get the stuff they sell for 300baht+ for 30 baht and sell it for 100 :)if you buy from a store you get ripped of if you dont go a bit away from the tourist areas.
Best just grow your own.
@@fredeatstheworld308I live an hours drive out of Bkk, 120 baht per gram for the top end stuff in a shop 2 mintues from my home, I saw the same gear in a shop on cowboy for 900 baht.
i was buying a grams for 8 bucks usd on beach rd.
@@theescapetrix prolly brown as dirt.
Great video mate. Keep em coming 👊🏽
The real reason this law change is happening is to monopolize the supply of the product into the hands of the rich who are the only ones that can afford the significant outlay required to set up a 'medical grade' grow. The big thrust behind the law change is to force people who want to grow weed to sell commercially, to grow to a medical grade standard. This instantly removes all competition from people in the small business sector. They simply can't afford to do that sort of grow. It is what has happened in Australia with medical weed supplied on prescription and in California and other U.S. states. The irony is it is like demanding someone grow their tomatoes to a medical grade standard before you can sell them at the local market. Totally unnecessary, yes it is a drug but the risks associated with it are the same as ingesting any other product grown for consumption on a farm. If the farmer uses bad chemicals on his tomatoes or sells them with mold on them it would be picked up in standard checks by the Thai equivalent of the department of primary industry. Weed can be exactly the same without a problem. This is about control of the market not prohibition.
You hit the nail on the head there. The rich want to dominate the market and have it all for themselves
Thailand needs to regulate what’s being sold. All that brown ass weed is not medicine. It’s some farmer with a connection selling ditch weed through a legitimate store front. Pretty much black market.
@user-dj6hu9gq4t advertising laws should be strict. I got sent some 'top shelf' dead brown dirt. Looked nothing like the pictures. That's all that needs to happen. There is no need for people to use their wealth to dominate the market, it was meant for Thai people to earn a living, not just rich Thai people.
dude what are you on about. The stores are all full of top shelf stuff smuggled in from the US. You have to go looking to find some 80's quality weed. @@user-dj6hu9gq4t

Thanks for the update Handsome ❤
ရပါတယ်
Great knowledge bruv 🤜🤛🏻
A voice of sanity about the issue. Thanks for the great video and information, well presented.
Thanks mate! Been watching you regularly too, great to see you are doing well.. does the “broccoli” work? This vid went limited for me haha
@@keisone Yes :) Had to find some ‘code’ to work around Mr CZcams and his magic censorship bots. Broccoli works for me. Grateful for the presentation and realistic approach to the issue! See you soon.
If they do implement a system where all purchases are logged then asians and others who live in countries where weed is strictly prohibited will no longer partake in Thailand. The risk of being prosecuted in their home country is too great.
Of course this is crazy but these countries have already warned their citizens about doing drugs overseas.
Totally agree
I was considering spending the winter in Thailand every year but if they recriminalize a harmless flower I definitely wont! Luckily I'm coming in feb and Ill hopefully have a good time and then possibly not coming back and definitely not living there if they return to the dark ages of prohibition
My Thailand trip is booked for March 2024. Going to take advantage of this before the new laws pass.
Thanks for the heads up, I must have missed the news that the new laws are now about to kick in. There was a lot of confusion before about .2% THC, but that was not for flower but for extracts only, flower seems to not be understood as being essentially the same in effect as an extract by the Thai government, so they left that alone, that distinction was not mentioned in this video, the distinction between extract and flower. If they don't address that in the new law, there's a pretty nice loophole for there still to be legal flower of whatever THC level you like.
Nice overview, thanks for the update bro. Knew it was coming eventually haha, we were in Thailand when it was FIRST decriminalized and it was actually crazy. One day, we couldn’t find a joint unless we talked to the right people. Next day, it was like you couldn’t NOT find weed if you tried 😅 Pretty cool experience, we were buying weed from a street vendor in BKK and there were cops with dogs walking right by LOL. Felt totally illegal. I have a feeling the cops just weren’t getting enough profits, so now they can bust all the shops and smokers breaking the rules every so often and collect the hefty fines…kinda like the mushroom shake bars in Koh Phangan where they periodically get raided, but never seem to shut down 🤔Im sure it wont be hard to find if you look for it - And some of the bars with smoking areas were totally secluded in the back, so I’m sure there will still be lowkey weed lounges - you just gotta know where to go!
Give it a couple of years. The drop in tax revenue will change their mind. Money talks this BS will walk.
agree
As for street vendors/dealers might not only be selling substandard or unsafe products, but they could also be part of illegal operations. The lack of accountability and quality control in such transactions poses significant risks. Instead, it's safer and more responsible to obtain these products from licensed and reputable sources where the quality and composition of the products are assured. This approach not only ensures your safety but also helps in mitigating the risks associated with black market activities.
Thanks for the update
Nothings gonna change. This is Thailand.
If they make it medicinal only it will hurt their tourism. People will just visit and spend their money in neighboring countries which are cheaper than Thailand. Regulation, zoning and enforcement is the answer not going medical only.
Thanks for the update !
It was definitely fun to have weed so easily accessible. I however do Not Need Weed. to have a good time.
Just a reminder that now is a good time to stock up on seeds. I suggest Feminized Auto-flowering. They require a minimum of indoor gardening skills. I umm saw it in a movie once...😉
Hahaha nice! I wanted a plant just because they look cool, but CBF looking after it haha
Keep us updated please planned to go end of this year !!
Oh well, looks like Thailand tourism will be going down again 😂 but at least the 47 million that get a licence will be happy 😂
Nice info bro good to know. From my past experience from my first trip I was put in jail in Bangkok for possession I was released after I pay a lot of money as with everything from driving ect as long as you have cash and a hungry police officer you can just pay ur way I think this new law will just be another money spinner for the police and the docs but allso regulate and keep a watchful eye on the situation. We shall see 😊
I go to the Netherlands for work and you can't smoke where ever there. But when we went to BKK there were tourist everywhere smoking where ever they want and then there are small tables just selling it even on the beach at Pattaya selling it I don't think that helped either. For me those day are long over so it's just for a holiday as usual and San Mig lights since I loved in PH love that beer.
Just came back yesterday.Nothing has changed🎉
It’s recreationally legal here in California for the past few years. Before it was only for medical.
I was there exactly a year ago in Bangkok and Phuket and there were plenty of shops everywhere and quite a few street stalls .. and it was fantastic! The only laws that I adhered to were to not smoke it publicly or around children which is a fair enough thing. I didn't see any one going wild on it (really no impact at all) The shops weren't overly busy and mainly had farang customers like me. I only smelt it a few times on Bangla Road. Sounds like the situation has gotten a lot wilder.. I only smoked it inside the hotel room. 38% THC lemon pie (if I remember the name correctly) was one variety that I tried that was out of this world. Will have to bring my GP script or some authority stating I'm a medicinal user.
Was probably Lemon Pound Cake
Did you buy a pipe or paper when you got there? I’m going next month
@@kamryngodsey8816 I bought pre rolled. They will roll them for you while you wait or you can buy by the gram
It's not your fault and I believe it did say that on the pack but 38% is a wild claim for flower alot of companies are allowed to give a 10% margin on THC so was probably high 20s% just so you're aware the highest THC flower ever so far is godfather o.g with % between 30% - 35% I've seen a lot claim 30% and above and the highest tested out of those on purple pro is 29% so just be aware 💚 one love
Puuled this from web:
Using HPLC, we analyzed THC potency in 23 samples from 10 dispensaries throughout the Colorado Front Range and compared the results to the THC potency reported on the packaging. Average observed THC potency was 14.98 +/- 2.23%, which is substantially lower than recent reports summarizing dispensary reported THC potency. The average observed THC potency was 23.1% lower than the lowest label reported values and 35.6% lower than the highest label reported values. Overall, ~70% of the samples were more than 15% lower than the THC potency numbers reported on the label, with three samples having only one half of the reported maximum THC potency.
Its funny how the locals approach their laws here. For jnstance, the 4am curfew wasnt supposed to go into effect until december 15th but i was at many bars on the 9th and they were well open until 4am.
It’ll be just as Illegal as the bars selling 🐱 on walking street.
The difference to buy is gonna b take note of ID and ask “Your depressed right” or “your having trouble sleep in yea” but the on site smoking is no loophole
Yo Bro. Wish you done this video last month. Atleast 2 shops you sat outside are my locals when in Bangkok. Give the Thai Cannabis Club credit they always take ID when a lot of other places don’t bother. I for one will be gutted if the laws are more strict, it’s one of the biggest attractions for me in Thailand 😢✌🏼
Thailand has gone to the gutter because of this.
@@brucef310and all the alcoholic pedos is ok is it! Jog on you c**t
@@brucef310yeah right the horrible “devils lettuce”s is ruining Thailand but legal prostitution and prostitutes on every street is so charming…….give me a break Bruce 😂
Just adding a new fee via this prescription... Making the weed more expensive!
I just got back from Thailand 🇹🇭 and I noticed everything was more lay back and I was at this shop in Korat with the name superweed., and they lived up to their name. All the staff was sleeping and so was I 30 minutes later 😂
Thanks for info. They could make all this so much easier by having but regulating things like edibles and vapes that don't leave weed smell, rather than nearly everything as 1968 combustible flower that does. The Thai government doesn't really care about the farangs except as money sources, so in the tourist capitals they could have an easy-to-get card. However, they try to attract such a wide sweep of tourists that they'll want to make it so some nationalities can go there and never see it. Amsterdam has had the same thing: catering to the soft-drug tourists while restricting activity to places easy for others to avoid.
Cheers mate
🙂
I would like to see an in depth video explaining everything that's being changed what the reasoning behind it was etc
The fact that over half the population applied for license and there has been no major negative incidence since weed has been legal proves that the legalization is doing more good than bad .plz consider how harsh it can be if it is reversed.
Thanks for the info. You could say all use is medical use, I know loads of people who have used for pain etc., illegally for years.
I stopped smoking weed along time ago and now i feel much better
So now you drink more ???
Do you miss smoking occationaly?
Thailand never ceases to boggle my fragile mind 😂
thank you for the information. what about the neighbor countreys? Laos, Camboddia, Vietnam?
Now you will have to show ID when ordering online and you can’t smoke inside the shops anymore. These will be the only changes. It’s only about age verification. They are already required to have a license.
I got no horse in this race, but i can see if this happens then sales will start to revert back to underground sources where they were before and probably still are just not as much as they were before all these shops popped up all over the place.
Also things don't tend to change so quickly over here....so not sure this will go through too quickly
Since weed is legal. No significant criminal case rise. I am sure it’s never return to illegal again. 😊
This couldn't have come at a worse time. My trip is still a couple of months away. I'm not a big drinker and was hoping I could still catch a buzz without having to imbibe alcohol.
You will be sweet, I think the laws will roll out in April or march
@keisone I'm landing in Bangkok mid Feb then heading to pattaya and then on to phuket. Hopefully they'll carve out exceptions for recreational use in tourist areas. Thanks mate!
@@keisone i read in Bangkok post that it wont happen in atleast 6 months.
@@TheLasseF yeah, April - May is what I read as the expected rollout date.. they will probably wait until after the high season and Songkran.
High season has a new meaning LOL@@keisone
Most of what your saying is already law. Even a year ago i had to fill out and get a medical card before i bought some this was done at the counter at the weed shop
Tourism gained because of recreational cannabis will be lost. All the recreational cannabis workers will be without a job. This is not a positive move for Thailand but here we go. Alcohol creates WAY more problems than cannabis ever could. I'm fortunate to live where cannabis is legal recreationally and I'm less interested in ever visiting Thailand knowing their governments regulations on a plant.
The weed is a taxation problem which can be managed. The people and culture and what that leads to as a stepping stone keeps on failing. It becomes an efford driven compliance issue Thailand may not want to indulge in.
Economically disappointing. It's really not my thing but being from Cali. USA, I've witnessed the income generation and job creation. In the end, people that want to smoke are just going to go "underground" for their supply which means an increase in organized crime and additional law enforcement staffing. They should just streamline the taxing of the product and treat it just like any other similar product, like alcohol for example. Watch the stat increase of people that have glaucoma or any other "medicinal" reason to have the drug.
Thailand losing their recent tourism advantage 😂😂
I agree they will loose billions
That's Great we are coming from Jan thru the end of March.. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
About time. Good for society.
Good Luck With Enforcing these new laws, people love going forward with pro weed, no going backward good luck
Now that its nearly March have the new laws been implemented? And if not how long have i got to get there before it changes?
I fly over in July. Can Smoke as last year? Like sitting outside a shop in Koh Samui and dont have to fear anything?
I’ve been there twice in the last year and thought; they couldn’t go backwards given how the recreational businesses exploded there. Apparently I was wrong. Given how money talks, I’m pretty sure I’ll be able to navigate the system legally when I return.
If this goes that way it will probably die a very stupid death. This morning I asked the manager woman at a large weed shop if she knew how many Thai people were employed in the recreational weed business in Thailand. Saying that she was not sure but it is thought to be around 24,000 employed. So this new rule that is going to save tourists from buying way over priced weed from legal shops and free around 24,000 Thai people from their income. If the rule is to keep Thai people from buying it then prohibit them from buying it and allow them to grow their own without interference by the government and it's need for endless forms and constant reporting of the same data over and over. Oh my a happy ending for all. IMO. PS Thailand is way too nice to pollute! Please be a responsible earthling.
Damn I better hurry up 🤣 I'll be there in 10 days, I can't wait, been watching your videos for weeks, It will be my 1st time!!!
Edibles, rso, and concentrates are crucial to medical use.
Yes it will be next to impossible to regulate you got that right because toothpaste doesn’t go back in the tube.
As a medical patient here in Saint Petersburg, Florida. I have my cannabis card here under our medical cannabis, compassionate care program. And you made a valid point. They may offer on-site medical cards. Temporary 30 day medical cards for tourists. If you have a valid medical card in your local country. Or state where you live. That could be just enough to say. Hey, if it's valid there, it'll be valid here. We'll give you a medical ID Card that's valid for however long your visit is so you. Is your right?That opens up a lot of different possibilities
Im Lucky i live in the netherlands opened the first coffeeshop in 1974!!!!! name yellow submarine and not only weed good hasj from maroc Libanon Afghanistan Thc lolly,s space cake ,s Tbc butter cookie,s only the weet het is better in Thailand
So much for Thailand being a free country.
Never was. Just needs to be respected. Want weed? Go back to where yoy came from 😅
I don't smoke and this is a redicolous amount of interest in this topic 😂 didn't realize how much pot heads are around 😮
Happens when people find something that won't mess you up like alcohol. Though with everything best done under moderation
Alot of times Thai government proposes new laws that never pass, or are deeply amended prior.
I was in Thailand from Holland from april to 1/2 june. I saw what was happening and didn't understand the westerners. It was simple but indeed the Thai laws were VAGUE.😮😢
I'm Thai.. but I hated This government..
So how does it work if your a tourist? Or long stay traveller? I'm sure you can go get a "prescription" from a doctor in Thailand?
I could never make any long term plans for living in a country that changes its laws every few weeks.
ya better you stay home!!
I never smoke it except every few years. If I do it I cannot be around anyone, so it would work out fine for me.
Is weed good for sleep? Genuine question. I have insomnia and have tried everyhting apart from the doobie.
it is! just make sure it is Indica, the dark green one
Yeah or start with the extracts like brownies or candy
do you have an article to support your snippet of the laws only being passed in Apr?
I was in bkk last 5 days the place reaks of it... Soi 11 has mobile carts of it...
Med use only is the go...
41 million wanting the license means most would like to smoke.
Most important issue was not answered: Can a tourist on holiday obtain a medical prescription from thai doctor to purchase weed at shops or is it only for residents of Thailand?
and can a forigner obtain a grow licence?or only thais?
no chance! not without a Thai.@@pj-vq3by
Yes
feels like I missed out :) but not really as I have never tried it but planed to try it over there. eh may be as well that it never came to be.
When!? I'm going in July this year again, i loved it last year and i'm not a heavy smoker
At the end of the year
The 0.2% thing is extremely easy to get around. For example, you could make edibles where the weight of the edible is almost entirely from the ingredients, and then just put 0.2% of THC. As long as it weighs enough, you will still get stoned. Same applies for tinctures. You might need to drink more if it is diluted, but that's really it
Thanks Bro! Informative and...HILARIOUS! #Always420
Interesting info, what's your source? I haven't seen or heard anything official locally yet. There's been a lot of chatting about it, but nothing concrete that I've seen.
Bangkok post, Thaiger and a couple other local news stories.. 😊
From what I understand, current dispensaries will be able to remain open albiet only can sell cannabis on premises and can not have anyone use it. Just like how Denver Colorado is where I live. Although here, we will be be having more dispensaries open with tasting rooms supposedly in the future.
And no you will not need anything from a doctor just ID verification
Like everything they do here there will be no enforcement and getting a medical certificate will be supper easy. The only time they will enforce it is when they have an ulterior motive.
Same as the drivers license point system, I had 9 fines on a road trip recently and not a single point was taken from my license.
Do they still have the old classics Thai stick, chocolate Thai, opium dipped Thai?
haha no
Shops don't need to close but what do they sell then? If they sell Papers and accessories then the Weed will be again bought from the Street and *control" is lost, just lol...
I'm all for restricting smoking to in your private space/allowed spaces only. Not everyone enjoy the smell, and the same rules that apply to cigarettes should apply to smoking weed as well.
you can do everything in Thailand , no matter what if you have 10,000 bath in your pocket when they catch you. And also there a hundreds of rasta bars around, so no big dill. For me this country stands for different types of recreation and weed tourism was bit to much, that saying guy who lives in Amsterdam for last 25 years. Im glad that kratom is still legal btw.
This is not good I was hoping to move to Thailand and start a new weed business there LOL
you would only have 6000 competitors haha
