Cannabis Cafe in Phuket
Cannabis in Thailand? Yes its true and no it won't get you high... At least the legal one in the cafes ;) Thailand legalized cannabis for medical usage in 2019. These days every part of the plant besides the seeds, flowers, and buds are legal. The medical industry is using cannabis extracts for medical usage and recently cannabis cafes are opening up in the country. In Phuket I know of at least three.
This cafe I've seen near my house before. Phuket town has loads of quite nice and stylish cafes. Recently, they've started selling products made with cannabis. Seems like a bit of a marketing ploy but I wish them lots of luck and they were nice enough to let me take some photos.
This could be the first step to full legalization. The economy surely needs some help as do the farmers. There is a long tradition of ganga in Thailand and in the past some of the best quality came (and still does apparently) come from Thailand known as Thai stick.
Let's hope full legalization is coming soon so people can grow and provide for their families and the consumers can enjoy in peace. As well, full legalization will eliminate the mafia element currently controlling the drug market.

Thanks for reading and hope you enjoyed!
well it isn't terribly difficult to find the stuff that will get your high in this country. They may as well legalize it even though I'm not even that much of a fan of weed.
Yes its pretty much everywhere. I'd say the medical legalization is the first step to full legal.
Thanks @jack.russelle for being engaged in the ASEAN Hive Community. !ENGAGE 15
ENGAGEtokens.They definitely to figure out how to make more effective laws. It reminds me of Colorado when it first enacted the medical marijuana laws. I was allowed to have 6 plants growing, but my total allowed possession for cannabis was 2 ounces both on and off plant. One would've had to have grown bonsai ganja to restrict 6 plants to 2 ounces.
Hopefully Thai authorities will eventually send some people abroad to study how various countries have regulated their cannabis industries, and take this knowledge back home to make things more rational.
Yes I agree. Its the first step it seems and would be a good boost for the economy in many ways. I think Portugal has a great system. Thai has been quite effective in the past incorporating things from the west and using them in their own way and this seems to be another one.
Because I work in a stressful environment, I like to unwind in the evenings by smoking marijuana.
