Cannabis Prescriptions in Thailand: Understanding Your PT33
A cannabis prescription records a practitioner's decision that cannabis flower is medically appropriate for an individual patient. In Thailand, the relevant document is Form ภ.ท.33, commonly called PT33. It identifies the patient, records the condition being treated and specifies the prescribed quantity and treatment period.

A cannabis prescription starts with a medical assessment
Explain your symptoms, previous treatments, current medicines and any concerns honestly. A practitioner may prescribe cannabis, request further information or recommend another approach. Paying for an assessment does not guarantee a prescription.
Cannabox MD explains the cannabis prescription process and coordinates applications and documents. The prescribing decision belongs to the practitioner. Shop staff can help with administrative steps, but cannot make that clinical decision.
The practitioner must be authorized to prescribe within their profession's rules and clinical guidance. Ask for their name, profession and licence or certification details before your assessment.
What should your PT33 record?
Read the official PT33 formCheck the details on your issued prescription against your identification and the treatment discussed during your assessment. Ask the issuing practitioner to correct any errors before you use it.
- Your name, age, nationality and ID or passport number.
- The prescriber's identity and professional licence or certification details.
- The date and the condition identified during assessment.
- The daily quantity, number of treatment days and total quantity prescribed.
- The required signatures.
How long does a cannabis prescription cover?
Each prescription is limited to a treatment supply of no more than 30 days. Your practitioner may prescribe a shorter period or a smaller quantity. Follow the instructions on your own prescription, and ask when you should return for reassessment.
Check the documents before visiting a dispensing location
Before visiting a licensed dispensing location, confirm how it receives and checks your prescription and which identification you should bring. A completed application or consultation receipt does not replace the issued prescription.
If you apply through Cannabox MD, confirm how you will receive the PDF and original PT33 if prescribed. Ask about original-document delivery to your address or chosen dispensary before travelling there.
Keep your practitioner informed during treatment
Cannabis can cause side effects, and CBD and THC can affect other medicines. Tell your practitioner about changes in your health or medication and report unwanted effects rather than adjusting treatment on your own.
Discuss pregnancy or breastfeeding, mental health history, alcohol and sedative use with your practitioner. Do not drive after using cannabis. The NHS medical cannabis information explains general risks and medicine interactions; its prescribing rules describe the UK, not Thailand.
