Bangkok is brimming with cannabis cafes and dispensaries selling high-quality, imported buds of every strain of marijuana under the sun, which can often come with a hefty price tag. Hidden away, there are some lesser-known spots selling decent quality, Thai-grown cheap cannabis in Bangkok.
The major cannabis cafes in Bangkok are appealing as most of them offer a place to roll up and smoke. You’ll also know exactly what you’re getting. Lined-up jars containing imported, aromatic bright green buds come with information placards telling you the name, whether it’s an indica (sleepy effect) or sativa (energising effect), or a hybrid. You will also know the exact percentage of CBD and THC in each strain.
Mostly catering to tourists, the staff at the well-known cannabis hotspots have good English skills and are knowledgeable about their products. The drawback is that you’ll be looking at paying anywhere between 700 – 1000 baht per gram for the strong stuff (18%-30% THC) in most major cafes. Sometimes, you will also be hit with an unexpected added service charge. However, most cannabis cafes do offer discounts if you bulk buy.
If you’re a regular cannabis consumer, you might be looking to get more bang for your buck. The cheapest weed available in the kingdom is called “brick weed.” It’s grown outside and then compacted tightly into bricks – seeds, stalks, and all. Before the legalisation of cannabis, compacting weed into bricks helped smugglers sneak weed across country borders.
Being grown outside, brick weed is almost brown in colour and it doesn’t smell nice. You’ll never know exactly what’s in it, but it’s cheap and gets you high so some people like it. The big cannabis dispensaries don’t sell it, but you can buy it at some night markets or order it online for cheap, if you wanted.
The following stores recommended by The Thaiger offer good-quality, sweet-smelling cannabis sold at happy prices.
At these stores, you will find various strains of naturally-green, cheap cannabis grown indoors in controlled conditions in Thailand. Some also sell imported cannabis.
Wherever you are, you can ask to take a sniff of each strain to see if it tickles your fancy before you buy.
