mate , go keep yourself busy trolling and shit stirring in the haze thread or something ,Oh, and then defame the guy with first hand experience...i liked that part
The only evidence is some stoners from the 70's making this claim because they were told this.First hand experience with what cannot be proven...ur logic fails many ways
I remember in the early 90s (uk) there were always stories of laced hash.. “its laced with opium” or “dusted with PCP” was another.I have the Maguire's book...nothing about opiated sticks...nada.
This makes me remember the so called "Pakistaní" made in Morocco in the early 2k.
Some ppl said It was laced with opiates...most think it's just an urban myth View attachment 19076666
there was a while where i live folks kept asking me if the weed i had was laced with horse tranquiliser,I remember in the early 90s (uk) there were always stories of laced hash.. “its laced with opium” or “dusted with PCP” was another.
so explain to me how they moved this wash from one area to the other , and why ??
do you actually know how far we are talking ?? its over 600 km ,
now we are talking 1970s too ,, imagine the quality of the roads then , if you can , oh thats right u have no knowledge you just imagine it from a westerners point of view ....
The effect of the Opiated Thai to the non Opiated Thai was very different, as was the smell and the look of weed.Truth is no one who claims that the sticks were dipped in opium can know for sure. They were told this by their supplier. A complete myth in my opinion. None of the sticks I ever had, had a remotely opium like high. The high was as unlike an opium high as you could get.
If you look at the book or podcasts "Thai Stick, Surfers, Scammers, the true untold story" they put this claim to rest. They were actually there.
Some cannabis was grown there but its not known for export cannabis and specifically thai stick which is what we are talking about so with that in mind they would have to move the opium or wash to a totally other area several provinces away,Let's back up a bit because some are now under the impression that Opiated Thai sticks were the normal or majority of the Thai sticks or brick that was exported out of Thailand and that was not the case.
From my own experience from 1979 until the imports completely stopped in 84/85 I only saw Opiated Thai Sticks twice, I wouldn't call that a large part of the Thai weed being imported here, in fact I would call it a rarity.
Why would they move the wash ?
The Golden Triangle was were most opium was being grown, and processed, and a lot of Cannabis was also grown there.
Here a some early photos from a Royal commission of Thai sticks being intercepted here.

No if you read the book you will see they were out in udonthani. Where all the action was, please do some proper research man rather than arguing with nothing to back you up, let's see a bust of opiated weed or any evidence at all other than hearsay?The effect of the Opiated Thai to the non Opiated Thai was very different, as was the smell and the look of weed.
With all due respect, the Thai Stick Surfers went to Bangkok and dealt with middle men, and they were no where close to the big players of the day.
