From the OP:

"However, while cannabis cafes and shops have been popping up all over Thailand, the products won’t cause a ‘high’ as cannabis extracts with more than 0.2% of the psychoactive component tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, remain illegal."

By contrast, the cannabis that you buy in recreational shops in the US is around 20% THC, which is what cannabis "tourists" will be expecting.

Basically, it appears Thailand is misleading potential cannabis tourists by making it sound like Amsterdam....when in reality they're only "legalizing" hemp and CBD products.
