Thailand allows cannabis within a medical, regulated framework. This guide explains that framework in plain terms — the controlled-herb status, the role of the licensed practitioner, and the path from consultation to prescription at a licensed clinic in Chiang Mai.
Book a Consultation Talk to usCannabis in Thailand is organised around medical and regulated use rather than recreational use. Legal access is intended to take place through qualified, licensed channels, with a licensed practitioner involved in the decision. The framework is built around documentation, oversight, and accountability — not over-the-counter sale.
Cannabis is treated as a controlled herb under Thai regulation. In practice this means it sits within a defined legal category that emphasises medical purpose, recordkeeping, and the involvement of licensed professionals and licensed premises. Treehouse operates as a licensed clinic inside this regulated system.
Because access is medical, the people and places involved matter. A licensed practitioner conducts the consultation and evaluation, and a licensed clinic is where the in-person steps take place. Credentials such as licensing, and standards like GACP and GMP across the wider supply chain, are central to how the regulated system is designed to work.
You begin with a consultation at the licensed clinic. This is a conversation with a licensed practitioner about your situation and relevant medical background. You can start the intake online before your visit.
A licensed practitioner carries out an individual evaluation. Eligibility is a clinical decision made by that practitioner, in line with Thai medical guidelines — it is not automatic and not determined by the patient.
Where the practitioner considers it appropriate, a PT 33 prescription is issued. This is the document that records legal medical access. You can read more in our dedicated guide to the PT 33 prescription.
Any remaining steps are completed in person at the licensed Chiang Mai clinic, in line with Thai regulations and proper recordkeeping. The clinic and its qualified staff handle this part of the process.

Yes. Legal medical access is documented with a practitioner-issued prescription, commonly referred to as a PT 33. The prescription is issued after a consultation and evaluation by a licensed practitioner.
The process is: a consultation with a licensed practitioner, an individual evaluation, and, where appropriate, a PT 33 prescription, after which any in-clinic steps are completed in line with Thai regulations. Eligibility is determined solely by the licensed practitioner.
