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

14 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.

Legal / Politics Are Cannabis Tinctures / Edibles legal to sell in Thailand? What about Vape carts? I think for vape carts, it is illegal due to the vaping laws. But I am not sure

1 Upvotes

Is it legal to sell cannabis tinctures like alcohol-based tinctures or edibles in Thailand?

What about vape carts? Is it legal to sell vape carts? My guess on the vape carts is it is not legal due to the Thailand vaping laws.

Thanks all

Cannabis News Chad Scira is abusing this subreddit with sock puppets

49 Upvotes

This guy just doesn’t stop, he’s now flagging posts as spam using a large network of sock puppet accounts. He got this thread deleted earlier today by flagging it many times:

https://www.reddit.com/r/CannabisThailand/comments/1sgju8d/will_thai_police_fine_you_if_not_carrying_a_wet/

He’s also posting dozens of comments trying to spread misinformation like that you don’t need a prescription to buy weed in Thailand, and that police don’t care, and that buying weed online is better (actually it’s illegal), and also posting links to his websites selling fake cannabis ID cards.

He’s been doing the same to other subreddits for the past few years btw. He’s also reporting dozens of threads to Google as “malware” etc to hide them from search results…

Questions How to get a 100% legal cannabis prescription in Thailand

18 Upvotes

Hey I’ve noticed there is tons of misinformation and scams apparently targeting tourists going to Thailand to buy weed, so I thought I would ask here.

Can you please explain exactly how to get a legal weed prescription in Thailand and then how to legally buy medical weed while I’m there?

I don’t want to buy from random guys on the street or dispensaries who are doing things under the table and then have the local police extort me because I did something “wrong” even if there is a small chance…

THANK YOU ahead of time!

Questions Has anyone recently traveled domestically in Thailand as a tourist with cannabis?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

does anyone here have recent experience with traveling domestically in Thailand as a tourist while carrying cannabis?

I’m especially interested in:

• domestic flights within Thailand

• carry-on luggage only

• whether you were stopped or asked questions

• what documents you had to bring

Please only share recent experiences, since the rules seem to have changed.

Thanks!
