Buying or selling marijuana in Thailand is very risky. Many visitors to Thailand don’t know the marijuana laws or think that Thai police don’t come down hard on marijuana offenses. Cannabis marijuana in Thailand is a category 5 narcotic, along with the Kratom plant and hallucinogenic mushrooms. You can get up to five years in prison and/or fined up to one hundred thousand baht for carrying up to ten kilograms of marijuana. The death penalty isn’t given for marijuana violations according to Thai narcotics laws. The death penalty is reserved for category one drugs like heroin, methamphetamines and amphetamines. Thailand is fun and can be wild and crazy; but no, you cannot legally buy or sell marijuana on the streets and yes, you will likely end up ruining your trip if you do by getting arresting, pleading with your embassy to intervene, and eventually looking for a Thailand lawyer.
