About Cannabis for Thailand

We are an independent editorial team based in Bangkok. We research, verify, and publish information about medical cannabis, CBD, and legal access in Thailand. We have no affiliation with any clinic, dispensary, or cannabis brand — our funding comes from advertising, not from the businesses we cover.

Our readers include Thai patients seeking legal medical cannabis, tourists trying to understand what the 2025 re-regulation actually means, expats managing chronic conditions, and entrepreneurs navigating business licensing.

Why This Site Exists

Thailand decriminalized cannabis in June 2022, creating thousands of dispensaries almost overnight. Then the Ministry of Public Health re-regulated the market in 2025, shutting down most recreational access and leaving a patchwork of ministerial orders that even lawyers struggle to interpret.

The result: most cannabis information online is either outdated (written during the 2022-2024 open period), commercially biased (published by clinics selling their own services), or factually wrong. We built Cannabis for Thailand to fix that.

What We Cover

• Medical Cannabis — The PT 33 prescription process, all 33 qualifying conditions, what to expect at your first clinic visit, and how Thailand’s medical cannabis system actually works in practice
• CBD — Which CBD products are legal, realistic dosage information based on published research, where to buy from licensed sellers, and what tourists should know before purchasing
• Cannabis Law — The 2025 ministerial orders explained in plain language, criminal penalties, business licensing requirements, and province-by-province rule differences. We update legal pages within 48 hours of any regulatory change
• Clinic & Dispensary Directory — Licensed locations verified against FDA Thailand registration data, with practitioner credentials, languages spoken, and pricing where available
• Cannabis Farms — Licensed cultivation operations with GACP certification status and contact information
• Strain Database — Thai landrace strains and imported varieties available through licensed dispensaries, with terpene profiles and reported effects
• Business Guides — Step-by-step licensing procedures, compliance checklists, cost breakdowns, and operational guidance based on current regulations

How We Work

Every article follows the same process:

1. Research — We start with primary sources: Royal Gazette announcements, Ministry of Public Health declarations, FDA Thailand data, and peer-reviewed medical literature
2. Draft — We write from the research, structured so readers can find the specific information they need
3. Medical review — A licensed Thai medicine practitioner reviews all health-related content for clinical accuracy
4. Legal verification — Legal claims are cross-referenced against the original regulatory text in Thai
5. Ongoing updates — We track regulatory changes daily and update affected pages within 48 hours

Independence

We do not accept payment for editorial coverage. Clinic and dispensary listings are based on FDA Thailand licensing data — not advertising spend. When we recommend a specific clinic or product, that recommendation reflects our editorial judgment, not a business relationship.
