not totally sedating but a relaxing buzz. its more the way the bud looked that was unique
Interesting. I was in NW Thailand around the same period and wrote about it in more detail on the Laughing Cannabis Thread. I have no idea exactly where it was, but remember the guide pointing out the King's castle in the distance (past Chang Rai) and mentioning that we had a couple days hike from there. I'm pretty sure the village I was at was growing it, because they gave me seeds. Never got to see the plants though. I didn't get to see the buds either since what we smoked was wrapped in corn cobs and looked similar to what was described in the Malawi Cob thread. As I described before, the high was a mixture of fits of laughter and mild paranoia. Part of it may have been due to location and the stories of the Burmese Army. I also had some of their local corn liquor earlier (which was really smooth). Not sure that may have had an effect, but typically alcohol puts me to sleep and I was wide awake all night long.in the late 90's I was in NW Thailand and I hiked to a tribal village a couple miles from the Burmese border. I paid a guy to go get me weed, which I assume came from Burma because the area was big for cross border smuggling. Any way the weed was bluish tint and kinda chunky in the buds that lacked the electric vibe.
not like anything I have ever seen in Thailand. Ive always wondered if it was a Burmese landrace or something that arrived there more recently .
90's in thailand was fun. indeed, Burma is a large and geographically diverse place with 135 different ethnic groups. I never had the courage to buy weed while I was in Burma but there must be a lot of unknown diversity from west to east and north to southInteresting.

I'm not sure if the strain originated from Thailand or Burma since we were practically on the border (bent over and tied down bamboo according to the elders marked the border). As I previously mentioned in other threads, seeds were really large. I have never seeds that big since. I also haven't bought seeds commercially from the area, so take it for what it is.
Burma is a large country. I think there is likely a large range of plants and effects from what is produced there.
