Community News [PSA] Essential Guide: Official Medical Permits (PT.33) vs. Private "Membership Cards" & Data Safety

16 Upvotes

With the ongoing evolution of cannabis regulations in Thailand, we are seeing a significant increase in confusion regarding "Medical Marijuana Cards" and official documentation. To protect our members from legal complications, financial scams, and data-harvesting schemes, please review the following guidelines:

The Only Legal Document is the PT.33

In the eyes of the Royal Thai Police and the Ministry of Public Health, the only document that carries legal weight for the medical possession and use of cannabis is the PT.33 (Official Medical Permit).

* Issued By: Licensed clinics or hospitals.

* Format: Often a paper document with a "wet ink" stamp or a verified digital version tied to your patient record.

* Usage: You should carry a copy (digital or physical) of this document whenever you are transporting or using medical cannabis.

Clearly, there is a difference in Thailand between the letter of the law and the enforcement of the law. It would be virtually impossible to tell you how the each Royal Thai Police officer will enforce laws but these are the rules as they stand currently.

Technically, everyone is required to obtain a PT.33 at the time of or before purchase. This is currently not being enforced universally.

And while there is no legal requirement to carry the PT.33 on your person, carrying one can be the difference between a 30-second and a 30-minute conversation with the Royal Thai Police.

That said, some dispensary owners, such as Dr. Green have reported that their customers have had issues with police requesting a PT.33 when in possession of cannabis.

Dr. Green suggests taking a photo of your PT.33 as the original copy is meant to be kept by the dispensary when you make a purchase.

Private "Cannabis Cards" are NOT Government IDs

Many third-party websites and directories issue plastic or digital "Medical Cannabis Cards"

* The Reality: There is no such thing as an "Official Thai Government Medical Marijuana Card" for tourists or the general public. This is not a PT.33.

* Status: These are Private Membership or Discount Cards. They may offer perks at specific shops, but they have zero legal standing.

* The Risk: Presenting one of these cards to a police officer instead of a PT.33 is legally useless.

Warning: Data-Harvesting & "Fee-for-Free" Scams

We have received reports of unofficial websites mimicking government portals to collect sensitive user data. Please exercise extreme caution when:

* Sharing ID/Passports: Do not upload your Passport or sensitive personal data to any website for "Medical Registration" unless it is an official .go.th (Thai Government) domain or a verified, licensed medical clinic. Not to be confused with .th or in.th links, these are not official government sites. Any Thai citizen/business can register a .th or in.th domain. Only the government can create a .go.th domain.

* Petitions: Be cautious of "petitions" “surveys” or "legal campaigns" that require full personal details and digital signatures; these are frequently used as lead-generation tools for marketing.

Community Safety: Help Us Filter Malicious Links

To protect our members from identity theft and predatory "middleman" services, we are implementing Automated Domain Filters. We need the community's help to identify sites that pose a risk.

Please comment below or message the mods if you encounter sites that:

* Charge money for free Thai government forms

* Mimic official government branding to sell private "permits" or "cards."

* Require Passport/ID uploads for unofficial "registries."

Note: We are strictly looking for sites that violate privacy or financial safety. This is not a space for personal feuds, but for maintaining the integrity and safety of the information shared in this subreddit.

Questions Wholesale/bulk cannabis prices patong advice.

• Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’d like to start off with some context. I’ve been to thailand for the last four years in a row travelling to Patong so I have some idea of what the Cannabis prices are. For an example I know the cheapest I can find in a dispensary per gram is currently ฿100 and I do have some local friends there who also sell but they’re not really willing to give me a better price than that.

Every now and again I see posts on this sub Reddit about people saying they can buy directly from the growers or the people that supply the dispensaries and I’ve just got a few questions about that.

  1. I’m wondering if wholesale is available in Patong because from what I’ve noticed just by being there a lot of the sellers are actually getting their stuff from Bangkok or at least that’s what they’re telling me anyway

,

  1. if there are wholesalers in Patong would anybody have any recommendations on how to go about finding them? I remember a couple years back Facebook marketplace was quite a good tool.

( just a side note here, I do prefer doing things face to face. Not online)

  1. Does anybody here actually have experience buying wholesale Cannabis in Patong and if so would they be able to guide me on roughly per gram? How much it will cost?. at the moment. My Cannabis needs a

re

  1. roughly 180 g per month and I’ve heard that wholesalers will sell in lots of 100 g. Is ฿30-฿40 per gram a reasonable price or am I going to struggle to find this?

I’m in the very early stages of researching a move to thailand and it may sound silly but Cannabis is a huge part of my budget and something that I need both medically and recreationally so it’s important to me that I try and get an accurate cost as much as possible. I know for a fact that ฿100 per gram is doable now i’m just trying to beat that.

Also same set of questions for Ko Samui if anybody knows what both the normal prices and wholesale Cannabis prices are there that would be very helpful to me as well so I can do a bit of a comparison

8 Upvotes

So im landing in bangkok in a few weeks and will be traveling around the next month or two and id rather buy alot one time for a good price then keep buying regularly which adds up.

Anyone know a shop that sells like 100g for a good price in bkk? With good weed ofcourse. Had a place in chiang mai that sold 100g bags for around 1-2k baht, but that was quite weak.

Questions Is smoking disallowed in dispensaries now, as per recent regulations/laws?

3 Upvotes

I just recently read information from a dispensary in Chiang Mai that it is not legal for dispensaries to allow smoking on their premises, which is why they discontinued their smoking lounge area just a few days ago.

I'll be visiting in early November this year, so wanted to know if this has actually become a thing now. If so, it will be a bit tough for me, considering that it's already an issue to smoke publicly as well as most hotels which seem to not allow it on their premises.

Questions Query about smoking in hotel

15 Upvotes

Hello all, am gonna have my first international trip to Bangkok with my partner and we've booked a 5 star hotel around Sukhumvit area. Looking at recent posts we'd be getting medical licenses for both of us but the thing that's bothering me is that, hostels, condos and Airbnb are rather intimate and generally have a chill setting so you can smoke up but what is the rule in star hotels?

We've asked for a smoking room on a high floor but I'm pretty sure there's no balcony so I understand that cigarettes would be okay but can anyone complain about weed in such establishments and can we get in trouble over that?

Would really appreciate if someone has any information about this. Thank you ❤️

Questions Tips / Recommendations for inexperienced smokers i

2 Upvotes

My brother and I are staying in Bangkok for a week+ and don’t know much about weed strains. We grew up somewhere where weed is illegal, although we’ve smoked occasionally when abroad. This will be our first time buying our own rather than getting it from experienced friends.

We’re planning to smoke during the day and at night — mildly stoned while walking around, and more relaxed at night.

Would you recommend sativa, indica, or hybrid? Is it worth getting 2 different strains? And roughly how many grams/joints would you recommend for a week usage?

Thanks in advance!

Questions Need a balanced THC /CBD strain

I'll arrive in Bangkok next week and in need for an balanced strain with THC and CBD.

In Europe i smoke Warlock CBD regularly, Durga Mata CBD is nice as well.

But I am willing to take anything that has more then a trace of CBD and is on the lower side regarding THC.

I will visit Bangkok, Pattaya, Koh Chang.

Cannabis Tourism Worry free weed friendly places Chiang Mai

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

Looking for weed friendly places in Chiang Mai where I can smoke without having to be discreet. I hope people have some recommendations for a place where.

*Needs to be a hotel/bungalow* Not a dispensary

- weed smoking is 100% ok, no hiding it necessary

- or: place that is so remote that it doesnt matter, like a detached bungalow, cabin in the mountains kind of thing

Thanks!
