Surviving licensed dispensary share after rollback
~45-50% of 2023 peak
Approximately 45-50% of the late-2023 peak licensed-dispensary stock had survived through mid-2025 following the 2024 recriminalisation per MoPH DTAM register tracking and industry-association estimates (Thai Cannabis Future Network, Thai Industrial Hemp Trade Association). The surviving cohort tilts toward established Bangkok and Chiang Mai operators with FDA-compliant pharmacy-style formats, medical-prescription workflow capacity, and diversified revenue (CBD wellness, food and beverage extracts, hemp-fibre adjacencies). Tourist-strip cannabis storefronts in Khao San, Patong, and Pattaya bore the brunt of closures. The surviving population is the addressable base for any future federal-licensing or medical-tier consolidation play.
