Thailand first legalized medical marijuana in 2018, but only specific parts of the plant. In so doing, it became the first Southeast Asian country to legalize weed. Then, in June 2022, it decriminalized the entire cannabis plant, and people could get it without a prescription.
Thai law now allows for the cultivation, sale, and possession of cannabis and cannabis-based products. However, companies must register and be licenced to sell it, and individuals can use it only in their homes or designated smoking areas.
Since the new legislation came into effect, businesses on Koh Phangan have jumped at the opportunity to include cannabis in their products. Many bars now offer several strains (sativa, indica, and thai) of mariquana and edibles (cookies, brownies, etc.).
Cannabis Products
One of the leading and most popular products must be cannabis-infused tea. Many cafes offer this as everyone loves a nice drink anyway. You can read about Cannabis which you can find exclusively at Kali in Thong Sala. Other products are made with leaves, oil and spa products, and cakes or sweet dishes.

Cannabis focuses on local, sustainable, organically cultivated foods, drawing inspiration from Thai botanicals. The teas are made with great attention to finer details, delicate flavours, delightful fragrances, and the cannabis plant's potent non-psychoactive characteristics.
