In retrospect to what has been written here, here is the what Thai law says:

'Cannabis' here in Thailand is regarded as a 'grade B' narcotic.

Since the Methamphetamine epidemic has struck Thailand and the rest of Asia the laws governing grade B narcotics have been relaxed.

Possession of such a drug for personal use is still however a criminal offense and will get you a fine and a suspended jail sentence (if youre lucky).

Many folks and especially backpackers have asked me over the years to the ins and outs of Thai Law in this regards and i can only say 'If you want to play with the Thai drug law then stay at home'
