Welcome to Thailand and Green Nation! We believe that the best experiences start with the right knowledge and understanding. This guide is designed to help every tourist enjoy a fantastic, safe cannabis experience while respecting Thailand’s local laws. Green Nation stands firmly on the principle of social responsibility, ensuring you can relax and enjoy your vacation worry-free.
1. The Golden Rules – Who Can Buy?
Purchasing and possessing cannabis in Thailand comes with clear legal requirements for your safety and the community’s well-being:
- Must be 20 Years of Age or Older: Buyers must present proof of identity for every purchase (please always bring your passport or ID card).
- Health Exceptions: By law, selling cannabis to pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers is strictly prohibited.
- Extract Laws: You can legally purchase and sell “Cannabis Flowers,” but for various extracts (such as oils, waxes, or edibles), the THC content must not exceed 0.2% to be considered legal.
2. Where to Consume
For a harmonious society, choosing the right place to consume is crucial:
Caution (The Public Nuisance Law): Strictly no smoking in public places! Smoking cannabis on the streets, beaches (even on a peaceful island like Koh Tao), public parks, or crowded areas is considered a public nuisance offense, which is punishable by imprisonment and fines.
Recommended Areas for Consumption:
- Private properties or personal residences.
- Cannabis-Friendly Hotels: Always inquire and ask for permission from your accommodation first.
- Designated Smoking Areas: Some licensed dispensaries may provide specific, enclosed, and legally compliant zones.
3. Traveling with Cannabis
Understanding travel regulations will help ensure your trip goes smoothly without a hitch:
- ✈️ Domestic Travel: You can legally carry cannabis flowers across provinces. This includes taking them on domestic flights and passenger ferries crossing islands (such as traveling to our Koh Tao branch).
- 🚫 International Travel: Strictly do not take cannabis out of Thailand! The laws in most destination countries still consider cannabis a severe illegal substance. Please consume or dispose of all your products before heading to the airport for your flight home.
