What the guidance says
Cannabis can cause anxiety, paranoia or disorientation. Feeling relaxed after use does not establish it as a treatment for ongoing stress.

Stress management and medical cannabis: FAQs
What makes stress management different from anxiety treatment?
The review looks at workload, burnout, sleep, tension, coping patterns, and whether symptoms point to anxiety, depression, or another condition needing care.
What should I track before a stress review?
Track stress triggers, sleep quality, caffeine and alcohol use, physical tension, headaches, work impact, and any panic or low-mood symptoms.
Can cannabis help me keep working under high stress?
The goal is safe symptom review, not pushing through unsafe workload. A clinician may also recommend sleep, mental health, or lifestyle support.
Which stress-related risks should I mention?
Mention panic attacks, depression, trauma symptoms, high alcohol use, sedatives, stimulant medication, heart symptoms, pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Does a stress review guarantee PT33 approval?
No. PT33 approval depends on licensed clinician assessment, documented symptoms, safety risks, and whether cannabis is appropriate for your case.
What does the consultation fee cover?
Consultations start at ฿500 for the practitioner’s assessment and advice. The fee does not guarantee a prescription; the final price depends on the service you choose.
