I only smoked Thai once or twice in my life (that I know for sure it was Thai) and that was during the late 70s in DFW. It wasn't on a stick but I remember it was very strong, the bad thing was I couldn't get very much of it. It wouldn't surprise me at all if some of the finer Colombians are descendants of Thai genes.

Id guess that the high level of UVB found around high altitudes thats making that weed so intense...

I've never had African weed but Cartagena was the major slave port in South America so I'm sure somebody brought some seed with them from there. I love to speculate on the history and introduction of different strains to Colombia but my real passion and interest is in the future cultivation. With new super strains and cutting edge breeding technics Colombia/South America could have a few new surprises in the next few years.

Dope Market

Dope Market

Samples of all these varieties can be found in Bogota's dope marketplace, just behind the Bogota Hilton. One of the traders, known only as Ricardo, touts a red hashish from the Llanos area. He waves a smoldering lump of it on the tip of a needle in front of his clients. As the smoke does its magic, he smiles and exhorts the potential buyers, "Just taste the quality."

I never even heard of this place but I've been told recently it does exist but is very dangerous. Might have to check it out next time we are in town if I can find someone brave enough to go.
