Re: Yes, Thailand, you will be able to smoke potent weed at home
This thread should be titled " NO Thailand, you cannot smoke weed (let alone potent weed) in your home, unless it is for medicinal purposes ie. if you are really sick" - or at least that's what the authorities say now. Complete confusion in Thailand - lol, makes Cambodia look almost normal.

But, is vaping even worse ? thailand-news-and-discussion/fyi-dont-v ... 27064.html
As a tourist in Thailand, I would be extra-careful before lighting up a spliff in a public place. (And definitely not while playing bridge.)Reacting to concerns that foreign tourists would abuse cannabis as a drug, Anutin said the government would issue guidelines for tourists that they can use ganja only for medical purpose, not for recreation.

Is Thailand Becoming The Next Go-To Destination For Cannabis Lovers?
Simone Cherí
Thu, October 13, 2022 · 2 min read
Cannabis connoisseurs can now add Thailand to their list of travel destinations. In June, Thailand became the first country in Asia to decriminalize cannabis nationwide. While the legalization of recreational marijuana use is still in the air, the latest development was an inadvertent result of reaching an expiration deadline for the country’s government to agree on new regulations.
Decriminalization of the plant is a signature policy of Health Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul’s Bhumjaithai Party. Thailand’s desire to tap into the growing global market is the primary factor in advocacy for the policy. According to The Global Cannabis Report, the cannabis industry estimates earnings that reach $103.9B by 2024.
BUT
Although at-home growth and consumption are now technically legal, officials warn against traveling to Thailand strictly for cannabis. Announcements from government ministries are confusing, as Charnvirakul continues to deny recreational use being legal. Their primary focus, at least publicly, is to capitalize on the medical use sector of the industry.
“We don’t welcome those kinds of tourists,” Charnvirakul told reporters when asked about recreational marijuana use among foreign visitors.
Confusing rules:
Yet, almost as soon as the deadline passed – officially decriminalizing the plant – popular sites like Bangkok’s Khao San Road started seeing more cannabis vendors. Dozens of shops and stalls are popping up in hotspot areas, according to TIME. 7-Eleven is even getting in on the action with cannabis-infused drinks and beauty products. Restaurants are infusing marijuana into dishes such as soups, curries, and pizza.
As tempting as the idea sounds, public use still holds the risky punishment of a three-month jail sentence or fines of up to 25,000 baht ($705.82).

Watch out for the backlash from the alcohol lobby when they realize thier sales have dropped.
I'm standing up, so I must be straight.
