Here is a link to the latest update on this situation
To obtain a medical cannabis certificate in Thailand, you will need to visit a licensed medical professional (including traditional Thai medicine practitioners and general physicians) and obtain a prescription stating the medical condition for which cannabis is recommended. This certificate is required for both Thai and foreign cannabis users. The new regulation is expected to be implemented within the next 40 days, aiming to ensure cannabis is used for medical purposes only.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Consult with a licensed medical professional: Visit a doctor or traditional Thai medicine practitioner who is licensed to prescribe medical cannabis.
Obtain a medical certificate: The medical professional will assess your condition and, if deemed appropriate, issue a medical certificate or prescription stating the reason for using cannabis.
Present the certificate: This certificate is required when purchasing cannabis for medical use.
Important Considerations:
Scope of legality:
While cannabis has been decriminalized in Thailand, extracts containing more than 0.2% THC are still prohibited.
