- Opiated Thai Sticks: Myth or Truth? -

In his book “The King of Nepal”, Joe Petrie talks about a load of hash that he had stashed in Nepal to be smuggled out at a later date. The hash dried out too much to be worth shipping. He says he mixed it with opium to soften it up and make it sellable. He claims this was most likely the only suitcase of Opiated Hash to be ever shipped to the US

yea there is some good information in that book ,
i hear kelly slater (the famous surfer) is thinking of making a movie of it now,
id certainly take note of the information those guys put in the book since it was clearly well-researched and direct from accounts of the people in the trade at the time,
not sure how many people they interviewed all up ,
but 1000 hours of interviews is quite a lot ,
there is several clips on you tube and an interview with one of the main players also ...

i mean if 100 people , who were involved in the smuggling , growing etc , all say the same thing , you really have to lean towards them being accurate ,
vs folks who were never there and have been told stuff second or third hand .. or by shifty dealers etc ...

I’ve been friends with Mike Ritter and one of his associates since the eighties.
there is no more accurate information out in the public than what he has put out In his books.
that is a close to historical truth as the world will ever get to hear.

unfortunately the book is extremely edited to protect people. so much of the story is missing and will never be told as most of them have passed on since then .

Mike had a stroke this year and his associate who I’m closest with is on borrowed time. When I get back from Thailand I’m going to go visit him and get him to tell me and I will record everything he can remember about the history of cannabis in his life, from bringing weed back from Mexico in early 60’s surf trips, living in India by 66 and then on to suitcases out of Afghanistan and Nepal and then tons of herb from Thailand and finally HawaiI in the eighties and Amsterdam in the 90s. The man has a lot of information and great stories that should be shared (he asked to be kept almost completely out of the thai stick book) One of the only people that I can say I’m truly proud and honored to be his friend. “The pied piper of pot”-Ritter
