Updated context: This article explains the 2025 change. For the latest overview, see Thailand Cannabis Law 2026.
If you’re planning a trip to Thailand this year and wondering whether cannabis is still part of the experience — here’s the short answer:
Yes, but only if you do it the legal way. Since June 24, 2025, Thailand has reclassified cannabis buds (flowers) as a controlled herb, rolling back its previous liberal cannabis policy.
Now, cannabis is allowed for medical use only, with new rules in place. But don’t worry — it’s still accessible, and at EXTIX, we make it easy.
Do I Need a Prescription Now?
Yes — a medical prescription is required to purchase cannabis buds.
It’s part of the new regulations in Thailand. But the process doesn’t have to be stressful.
✅ A prescription is required — but we make it easy. Most customers complete the process in minutes with our help. No hospital. No hassle
Prescription Validity
- A prescription can be valid for up to 30 days, subject to the prescribed quota
- The prescription specifies the permitted amount and duration
- Dispensaries are required by law to keep the original copy
At EXTIX, we securely track your prescription in our system --
so you don’t need to carry documents or worry about paperwork. Just show your ID, and we’ll handle the rest.
What’s Not Allowed Anymore?
Under the updated rules:
❌ No recreational use — cannabis must be used for medical purposes only
❌ No public consumption — avoid beaches, streets, and other public areas; use only where private use is permitted
❌ No casual cross-border transport — importing or exporting cannabis requires the appropriate permits
❌ No buying from unlicensed shops — only licensed, traceable dispensaries are legal
❌ No advertising of cannabis products
Can I Still Access Cannabis in Thailand?
Yes — here’s how to do it right:
1. Get a valid medical prescription
(EXTIX helps guide you through this easily)
2. Buy only from licensed dispensaries
(Choose licensed operators that follow current Thai requirements)
3. Use it only in private spaces
(Public smoking is prohibited — stick to safe, discreet settings)

What Does GACP Mean?
GACP stands for Good Agricultural and Collection Practices — it’s an international standard that ensures cannabis is grown, handled, and stored under clean, traceable, and high-quality conditions.
✅ EXTIX cannabis flower is sourced from GACP-certified farms,
supporting clean, traceable, and consistent cultivation.
Thailand’s cannabis policy may be more regulated now,
but with the right partner, your experience can still be smooth, safe, and deeply enjoyable.
EXTIX — EXPERIENCE MEANS MORE.
