- Opiated Thai Sticks: Myth or Truth? -

[Hammerhead]

IMO cannabis oil was used. This is what people thought was opium dipped, including myself. None of us can prove or disapprove what was going on at that time.. People will believe what they choose to believe. I also dont belive opium was used on Thai sticks. I dont think much more could be added to this thread..

I don't think either hash oil or opium was used. Hash oil is difficult to handle, and both are just another process in a very labour intensive process (making sticks). Plus we may have been a bit behind the rest of the world but I didn't even see hash oil until the early 80s.
But, yeah, no one can prove or disprove.

i dont think either products added to good cannabis was value adding at all ,
all best done separately ,
do as you like with them yourself obviously ,
but commercial examples of either would be a bit of a waste and no evidence any were done on any large scale ..
If you can score opium , why do u need cannabis with it , and visa versa ...

we used to put some full melt hash on top off our cones for a bit of an extra ooomph ,
but that is the same product , just a little purified ...

Can't find some literature either about opiated Thai sticks.

I use to add oil in weed back in the 80s.. Oil was not around often. when it was the only way to use it was to mix it with weed or dip a doobie. Those that imported Thai Sticks only cared about $$. Oil dipped sticks could get 2x the price. I do remember some were darker in color. Most were not. Its not like I could prove if they were dipped lol.


This is 2021 Thai stick. Maybe todays Thai stick needs ti be dipped as its not as potent as it once was. There is a lot of info about using cannabis oil being used on Thai Sticks
The term Thai stick (otherwise known as the Buddha stick) refers to a unique method of making a sativa blunt by skewering seedless cannabis buds on a stem then further wrapping it with threads of marijuana. After this, the blunt is then dipped in cannabis oil to increase the potency boost.

Crude ,raw unrefined opium is not for smoking.

We used to get nice Thai here is Australia that was strong at the time, I remember vomiting more than once after a big sesh. Having travelled so far from Thailand over water and packed tight I think the COB effect had occured in transit hence the power some of the batches had. Peace Kitcha

What is Thai Stick?​

Thai Stick was the traditional method of layering and binding cannabis bud around a stick or hemp stalk, treating it with hash oil and wrapping it in fan leaves to cure underground for a month or so. Developed in the northeast of Thailand where the climate is especially generous to growing weed. It was a long and time-consuming process that when finished produced a cigar-like spliff that legend claims burned for hours and produced a superb high.

The opium theory is often contested but is plausible since the substance was legal in Thailand until 1958. Others believe that hash oil and kief were used to adhere buds to the sticks rather than the addictive narcotic. Once the sticks were dipped, the cannabis flower was pressed against the hemp or bamboo.

There is a lot of speculation about what initially made the Thai Stick so special.

Was it that it used to be drenched in hash oil or even opium? Was it the mixes between various varieties growing in that part of the world at that time that made it so strong?

History will probably never really know.

Most people realise that the modern Thai Stick has little to do with the original. But nevertheless, attempts to recreate them are great fun.

I smoked it in joints first but in a bong it really packed a wallop and I vomited too mate..
I'm sure the long cure helped give it that extra kick..
