As a smoker, medical use only just means you will have to get a "medical card" provided by an approved Doctor here.
As a retailer, you'll just have to get a Thai Traditional Medicine Licensee at your shop.
This is Thailand, the land of compromise 😉
As of today you cannot smoke in public or even in a dispensary but the police gets paid and they look somewhere else.

If the new Prime Minister bans the cannabis, then I feel more safe to travel again to Thailand. Thailand used to be a non- drug country but after those greedy past leaders signed to regulate real drug to Thailand, I do not feel safe to visit this wonderful country again until now. PM Sretha, you ca do it, it is important to all Thai citezens.

Prepare for a dip in tourism. Pot is giving Thailand a competitive edge with other SEA countries. If they ban recreational pot many visitors will just go to neighboring Malaysia, Cambodia, Bali, Vietnam or The Philippines which not only has nice beaches too but also cheaper. Having clear rules for consumers to follow and educating the public on responsible use is the answer not making it medical only.

Я знаю много массажных, которые открыли каннабис магазины и получают на этом в четыре раза больше. Я знаю много работяг, которые поставляют свои пару кустиков в эти магазины и также зарабатывают на масло к хлебу.
И я никогда не видел, чтобы обычный таец купил бы в таком магазине траву за 300-700 Бат.
Мои рабочие – взрослые люди предпочитают м150+кротон. Если эффективность не страдает, а им так лучше, то почему бы нет?
Мои клиенты – европейцы предпочитают курить траву а потом вкушать вкусную еду и прочие ништяки на улице по пути к пляжу. Почему бы и нет? На улице все в плюсе
Мне приятно верить, что всё это лишь для того, чтобы собрать с туристов лишние пару тысяч за медицинские справки.
Сорри, что по-русски🤷🏼

Based on the few interactions I've had in Phuket this summer with the locals, I have to say that they definitely support what Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin says here. It seems that cannabis shops have replaced many of the pharmacies that used to be there. I don't wanna judge, but it seems that making it completely legal draws the wrong crowd. I love Phuket and I love Thailand. Keep it clean, keep it safe and keep it beautiful. It's one of the most beautiful places I've had the privilege of visiting. I'm an American expat living full time in Asia.

Doesn't mean anything. They are just putting on a show to please some sheeple conservatives. It's just a political game. Anutin (ex health minister) who legalized cannabis is now the deputy prime minister and the minister of interior. The Ministry of Interior oversees the health ministry. It's even better because he doesn't have to take shit now (he took a lot of shit when he was the health minister) and be the puppeteer who controls from behind. We talked to our guys at the health ministry, and everyone kept their position, no shuffling. They are all ppl from the Bhumjai Thai party that legalized weed.
