Finally, some good news for medicinal cannabis users in Thailand! This digital card system sounds like a game-changer.
Sounds good but how secure is it really? Biometric face scanning feels a bit too invasive for my taste.
The use of biometric face scanning is actually a strong security measure. It ensures that the person using the card is the rightful owner. Plus, two-factor authentication adds an extra layer of security.
I see where you’re coming from, Skeptic101, but I think the benefits outweigh the concerns. Plus, digital means no physical card to lose!
Anybody know how to apply for this card? The discounts sound pretty sweet.
The card costs 2,000 baht and is valid for one year
Thank you, just got mine!
Curious to see how this will align with the regulatory changes. It’s a step in the right direction, but Thailand’s cannabis laws are still in flux.
Agreed, LegalEagle. It’s crucial that initiatives like WEED.TH work in close coordination with regulators to ensure compliance and legal integrity as laws evolve.
I have my doubts about how well this will work outside of Bangkok. Are there enough participating shops nationwide to make it worthwhile?
Hey JohnD, our network includes over 6,800 shops nationwide, with 3,500 actively engaged on the platform. We’re rapidly expanding to ensure everyone has access!
That’s reassuring to hear. Hoping to see more shops in the northern region join soon!
It’s great to see medicinal cannabis being more accessible. Hopefully, this leads to a decrease in opioid prescriptions.
What’s the process for clinics to get on board? This could be a fantastic tool for our patients.
CannaCurious, we’re thrilled to hear of your interest! Clinics can simply contact us via [email protected] for integration services. We aim for a seamless connection to benefit your patients.
Digital is the future! Love the idea, but I hope they’ve thought through the privacy aspect thoroughly. Data breaches are no joke.
Absolutely, TechSavvy. While the convenience and security features seem impressive, the handling and protection of sensitive medical data must be watertight.
What an advancement for alternative medicine.
Cuts out the black market. Good!
