Thai weed from Thailand

[Donald Mallard]

The Thai weed I grew comes from a betta farm (Betta fighting is a popular hobby in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam) from Sakon Nakhon;chatting with the person who gave them to me I remember him telling me that the owner of the farm lost a lot of fish a couple of years ago due to a sudden drop in temperatures...
I always wondered how low they could go to kill the fish...

The mornings can be pretty chilly wat inland, i was surprised
It made the old Thai shower, which some may know about, quite challenging, especially with that barrel of water being outside in the cold all night..
I guess in the old days the plants were out in that too, I bet the nice warm days and cold nights push the plants to finish and may boost the resin a tad even
Here's a morning shot after the freezing cold shower in the rural parts of udonthani..

I have had a few extremes reaction to cannabis, the first time I got high, we were playing Dungeons&Dragons in a cave, my older brother and his friends smoked some moroccan hashish and just the secondary smoke got me so high I almost died of laughter, I couldn't inhale anymore because I was too busy laughing, expelling air. Thankfully a guy reacted and helped to breathe, this was pretty intense and my very first high.
I am a joint smoker and I remember once a guy had some White Widow he had just brought back from Holland but he was a bong smoker so if you wanted to test his WW you had to smoke a bowl, I did a small one and immediately after exhaling the smoke I got up and ran to the puke in the toilet. After that I was nicely high but the puking phase was not that fun, I think it happened this way because I have never been a bong user.
Another intense high was with some Thai grown in the south of France outdoor, it was the 6/7 years of its acclimation to her new growing latitude, it was quite strong. One night i smoked some with my girlfriend before going to bed but we couldn't sleep because we had too much burst of laughter for nothing. This one was fun.

Your Thai experience mirrors mine if you also toss in bouts of mild paranoia.

@ledo
I bought the commercially released New Caledonia, I grew the full small pack, I cull all males because it was utter garbage. Total lack of landrace resistance and highless weed when grown in a landrace humid environment
What can you comment about the New Caledonia you have? Does it have any high at all?
How come cant adapt to humidity a strain coming from New Caledonia?

My understanding is ultimately it’s same native source but different points in time; the ones I’ve been working with were the original ones shared, I’ve selected them towards the narrow side whereas others may have not.

Some I just recently grew to X with an Oaxaca.

NC is not an overly Powerful Sativa but a great all day quality, good to work outside on, no sedation, no ceiling clean effect but not edgy or tripy either, certainly are stronger Sativas out there I have many. To me it has a high like a nice happy Mexican hence my pairing the two again recently.

I haven’t worked them outside much but a good buddy has grown them outside a couple times in the PNW in what was a disastrous season last year and he was able to pull some off pretty much only the NC…

I can’t speak personally for the ones you’ve tried; I’ve never grown them

Peace

With meself - good 'erb is linked to good music - and the place you get high at - looking back are so many memory anchors - linked right there - from the past - that conjure up a nostalgic memory - and good Thai 'erb - toked in a beach setting - in Thailand - is one of my memory 'Anchors' -

I've tried getting high on the same Thai 'erb in other settings - in cities - in towns - up mountains - but that same amaz'in feeling of getting high on Thai - that first time - on a beach - just wasn't there - so Ive come to realise that - the place that I get stoned in really does matter greatly - it's not just the 'erb - the location seems to matter too

Nostalgia and youth - We all chasing it daily, & often

You would think that 5c at night would slow them down, but they thrive and power on threw flower, that's why they could be grown here even as far down to Vic and inland as long as it didn't snow or get frost they could go until August / September in our part of the world.

The closer to the coast you are the warmer the night temps are, through winter at a guess Thailand would be no different.

While Thailand is generally known for its warm temperatures, certain regions, especially at higher altitudes in the north, can experience cooler temperatures, with morning temperatures as low as 8 to 12 degrees Celsius, and even dropping below freezing at very high altitudes during the cool season (November to February).

yea single digits the january i was there ,
i think it was about 8 celcius over night , but felt much cooler,

ive actually seen some sativa endure frosts and below zero temps,
drove home to me the theory they were originally from a cold spot and moved to the tropics ,
no tropical plants could tolerate below zero temps im fairly sure ....
the cannabis was not damaged at all , all the weeds nearby were dead though....

 

[@hempy]

Some parts of the North and North East of Thailand I read can get close to freezing overnight, but the day temps can be anywhere from 17c to 26c and to be honest, 5c at night with good temps threw the day would not bother the plants.

I always found Thai Cannabis great for partying, smoke a joint with friends or by my self just before I would go into night Clubs or venue with live bands, grab a drink before it really hit and off you went.

I'll never forget hiking up the Sykes Peak trail in Big Sur smoking Big Sur Holy Weed. In the end it's all relative I suppose. That was 1988.

Happy Mexican ...I like that. I'm growing some NYC Diesel x Williams Wonder and that Happy Mexican is part of it.

The NC I got (thankyou sir) I selected both ways.
I am currently growing a couple of the broader leaf accession, and have found them to be almost bulletproof at 16 south. Really strong green mango smells.
Definitely daytime weed.

The only real import Thai I ever got was excellent quality 87-88 and would destroy you. I heard that the people were spraying it with opiate and I believe it. Strongest herb I ever smoked. It smelled and looked excellent. Later a freighter was busted off the coast of Oregon and it ended sadly. Ever since then the exoticness and aroma of that pot has held me captive.

 

[Osama Bong Loadin']

I have a question for the Thai experts...Have you seen or heard of opiated Thai herb?

 

[Elmer Bud]

horses for courses ,
some folks dont like those sativa highs ,
they are more used to relaxing , sedative stuff ,
personally i always like the motivational aspect of sativas ,
always have a lot to do , it helps with folks that have a busy life i reckon ...

Jamaican , Sth African .
And other places where Indian indentured workers went have working mans weed .

If every one is high on the one the same smoke together , The feelings of being co ordinated and colloabrated are enhanced.
I once read an Anthropologist`s study of labourers in Jamaica . They worked harder and more efficiently as a group when they smoked together .

I made a cross that has a very clear up high. It is supposed to be Kerala in it. I was very interested in your post because I called it Workingman's Weed. It's not at the top of my list but is a cross I have plenty of seed of. It is old now though.

 

[Donald Mallard]

no evidence to support the claim has been found ,
despite much debate ,
from totally different parts of thailand anyhow ,
did anyone do it , yes its certain some folks mixed the two together ,
was it exported in large amounts , or at all , unlikely ,
theres a thread about it somewhere , go read that , its off topic in this one because it creates division etc ...

How many of these people actually went to Thailand . Not many , if any .
You insist on talking about things you have no 1st hand knowledge of .
And in classic Hempy style every thing is set in stone . No possibility of it being different to the way you see things . That`s one reason why you get into so many conflicts . And then say everyone is picking on you .

It's all down to perspective - what you see - and what you perceive - from where you are - which can differ immensely - depending on where you are -
