wow i wonder why it was called golden buddah if it goes dark brown ,(sniggers)
anyhow im not going to debate you hempy ,
its obvious you lack the skills for a good debate and will not take on any new information either ,
im aware there is some herb grown in thailand i even said that , but its not on a commercial scale as it was and there is no way to tell they didnt get the seed from the brick weed i posted ,

can you read thai ??

enjoy that brown weed that is called golden for some weird reason ... .


I have the skills to debate Donald but this is no debate this is you claiming to be right and me being wrong and that's not a debate.


In the age of the internet you can get things called translation tools that allow you to read it in english i use one so yes i can Read Thai or any Language once it translates it over to english.


You have been attacking me for years and to be honest mate i try to remain civil because whats the alternative a online pissing match.I really dont care what you think snigger away mate what ever rocks your boat.

you should use that translator then hempy before you post stuff assuming its in thailand when in fact it says it s in Bolivia but just on the thai news ...

no need to debate calling something golden that is brown though i agree ,
thats just plain silly ,


ive had golden thai , it was golden , not brown ...

while i dont agree all the time with eb ,
he is 100 % correct about thais not using the word buddah to describe cannabis ...



anyhow thats the last im saying on the subject ,
you wont change your mind on hearsay even if you are shown proof its wrong ,
your too stubborn and obtuse ...

I removed that video i copy n pasted the wrong video into to post as i had 10 or more up in a different browser.


Like i said Donald i or my mate that collected it have nothing to do with the naming of the strain it was the Thai guy in Thailand that called it Golden Buddha.We just called it by the name it came with from Thailand.


I was handed the seed i grew them out made lots of seed and shared the seed with my mate and a few other friends and did my part.


Telling the truth as it was told to me by my friend who has no reason to lie is keeping it factual and real.


Nev told me of his experiences in Thailand and described the smoke he found yet at that time we were getting much better being exported in.It comes down to who you know who you come in contact with.

I’m happy to see these old genetics still being grown , the first video and the last show beautiful pure NLD .

I’m very interested to see some old Thai , something like the Buddha Thai /golden thai / Thai sticks . I remember Nevil always comparing Haze to the best Thai and many saying the old Thai was the best smoke ever

Hopefully someone will spread and preserve these genetics

hempy i smoked what they called golden buddah ,
in my teens,

and eb is quite right , its an aussie term
no thai would ever call herb buddah ,


golden thai was guess what , golden , it looked very similar to the pics i posted above of the golden laos , aka super laos ..

we got a fair bit of golden thai after the thai sticks stopped ,
it only lasted a short time but i remember it vividly as it was such good erb ,



the only cannabis in thailand of any quantity after the early 80s was not thai , it came from countries closer to thailand,
and it still exists despite what you think
cannabis is transported over thai borders pretty much everyday ,
remember many of us have been and seen with our own eyes ,
you are relying in second hand stories that may be a little blown out of proportion ,
they sound like they are thats for sure ..



this is what you get in thailand these days ,
and its not grown in thailand ...

very few people grow herb there because thais have a rep for spreading rumours etc like wild fire ,,

some is grown , but very little , nothing much that could be regarded as commercial crops ...

this is the brick weed ..

Hello Donald....would you have a idea as to wat strain that actually is...I does look dam good..reminds me of the some of the old rip your head off stuff.

just some asian sativa , it might have relation to the old stuff ,
but its often a bit immature and of course compressing it changes the high a bit i think ,


having said that it does give a good kick the first few times you sample it darkstorm ,
and some seems a bit better than others ,

it might grow some good herb if one takes the time to mature it properly ,
ive meant to give it a try as i have some seed here im pretty sure ..

Thanks donald...we used to get a thai in a verry similar form to that once the sticks ran out here only it had a more bluer tint...might be worth trying the seed you have...

Thai's dont use the Buddha to sell things?

yes its frowned upon but it's use is pervasive.

I was given Thai Golden Buddha seeds in the late eighties by one of the main smugglers that is in the Thai Stick book.
he was not australian.

i dont know where Golden Buddha originated if not s.e asia, but i know
many Thai's would have no problem putting a name like that on herb.

Pretty sure that golden stuff and most of the good thai herb was from isaan region in Thailand mr water , ie the north east ,
we had a fair bit of it in the early to mid 80 s ,
the last i saw of it was 85 ..



they did call it golden buddha in australia ,
and the sticks were always referred to as buddha sticks ,
though the ones we got here were brown vs the golden stuff that wasnt tied to a stick..



the first herb i toked was a "buddha stick"


im sure some thais would be offended , but your right perhaps as a selling point it could be used , some thais would do anything for some sales ...



ive noted the thai stick book author has a page on facebook ,
i joined the other day ..
heres a picture of some thai weed from his page ...

Water-

nice pic.

there is instagram account as well.

the golden buddha i was given was not brown, more light green if my memory serves me correctly.

last time i was there i saw a big billboard informing people that is illegal to use the buddhas image but then in the tourist areas they are selling t shirts and other things with his name and image.

the thais are good Buddhists but also pretty good salesmen.

love the place and people


peace

The strain Golden Buddha came from Thailand and was called that by the Thai guy that handed it to my mate.

In Australia Thai cannabis was called Thai Stick or Buddha Stick and compressed Thai was Thai or Buddha Most of it was called Thai.

hey water ,
yea in my experience the light green stuff can go golden in the right circumstances/environment ,



only frustrating thing about the thais and buddhism is very few seem to know much about buddha himself , just the rituals then need to perform , the wai ,
the food , going to the temple ,
not many ive come across know much about what the guy said ,

sadly thats the main part of it i would have thought ,

anyhow it keeps them busy doing something ,,



i concur , i love the place ,
the people , and particularly the food ,
having said that im about due for another food tour .. lol ...

i only saw the brick weed in australia after the sticks had long gone,
its not really from thailand if its the same stuff your talking about hempy ,
its still there , a kilo is around $500 ,
but unlikely farangs get it for that price ...

its rumoured to be from laos , though it could be from there or cambodia ...

im not certain where the fat tied sticks with the red string come from either ,, once again could be either of the places i mentioned..

i agree with what your saying.
the ritual seems to be whats most important to them culturally.

i could use a food tour also.
was thinking of going in september. i like that time of year there.

i was there last september into october ,
its a bit more bearable once the rain has stopped for sure ,
less humid ,
but nothing a hot spicy thai salad cant fix ,
i suspect late sept early oct was when they used to plant their gunja ,
still plenty of heat to get those bad girls going well into the dry season ..



the winters are getting quite cool now , last winter i was there i had to buy jeans and was lucky to have a jumper handy ,
this season has been the same ...



thanks for the good exchange water ,

i appreciate it ...

Hi Donald i can only comment on what i saw on this side of the country but the quality started to go down hill mid 80s and then completely stopped.The only Thai we saw after that was what we or friends grew in house that was it.

we got some in the 90s ,
just the compressed brickweed ,
i recognized the smell and look of it when i went there and saw some ,
the guys used to call it wheat bix because an oz was about the size of a wheat bix ,
as i mentioned it s the same as the stuff they still have in thailand ,

but its not thai weed and no where near as strong as the thai sticks were ,
those thai sticks were legendary ...


did you see the brickweed where you lived , or the golden thai not on the stick ??

We saw the loos Thai also but nothing after say 86 the stuff i saw in 86 was loos to and had the smell even the taste but the high was mild and lasted a short time.

Even if i had lots of smoke i still got any exotics kicking around just encase of a few seeds.

I never herd Thai being called Gold Buddha until my mate got the seeds from his contact in Thailand. All the Thai we scored was called Thai or Buddha.

we had thai sticks where i lived in melbourne ,
they were quite the thing when i started smoking ,
there was a lot of hash too , folks smuggled in bits and pieces and i guess there was larger shipments too ,
some nice blonde hash i recall well , while it wasnt the strongest by far ,
it was pretty tasty ..



anyhow our source of sticks dried out in the early 80s ,
maybe around 84 , and then we got some golden buds just loose ,
they had a bit of chunk about them too , not as stringy as the stuff on the thai sticks,
a very distinctive well cured aroma ,and yes it was called golden buddha,

i still remember the last bit i had , sent to me here in qld by my sister in melbourne ,
it was excellent weed indeed ,, lol ...

$20 or $50 is to cheap
If you want cheap seeds they are everywhere.
This is some special genetics and worth at least $100 a pack, if you cant afford that then save up or chip in with friends.

I have Neville's whole line and will be releasing them in F2's and hybrids in 2020 at my usual price and its not to cash in but to spread the genetics. Any real Haze head who has been around the boards for years il send them for FREE

Definitely look forward to seeing those, is that project currently in the works?
