I hope everyone is buying their Thai seeds. #ThaiStickRevolutionA great primer for this post: ‘Thai Stick’ or ‘Lao Stick’?
The Thai stick lives.
Do not believe the haters and party-poopers.
The Thai stick lives.
The Thai stick lives.
The Thai stick lives.
in 2022 anyway.
The holy grail of that classe of genetics is being nearly single-handedly and entirely archived [for the time being] by Angus at The Real Seed Company so big ups to Angus, his friends, and the Thai ganja community.
Disclaimer: I want to press peeps that they really should inbreed the pure lines before outcrossing; the main goal being preservation and sharing to the wider community to increase the overall population of these pure lines, e.g., It would be nice if 10000 and not 100 people kept these pure lines so 10 or 20 or 30 years from now they still exist for the next generation ad infinitum; especially with the earth being now soon overrun with hemp pollen and all sorts of lackluster, viroid-ridden, hybrid genetics.
All of these accessions can be accurately classed into "Thai Stick" given the context of Thai/Lao commercial relationships during and after the spread of Thai Stick fame. Could these all be interbred? I guess so. But it's wiser to keep the parental elements separate from your crosses unless you have your own valley(s) to play with (Arjan of GHS).

This makes 11 accessions of real bonafide Thai Stick.
Happy searching and share the beans.
Prepare to have your jaw dropped at the sight of the Bokeo accession here: https://www.icmag.com/threads/rscs-bokeo.17902198/page-2
Angus can correct me on these things I am only here passing on what I know.
It is a lie though to say Thai stick is extinct insofar as that commercial process is in fact extinct but the genetics live on.
Terroir is perhaps most responsible for the famed Thai stick's effect.
If you are not growing in scorching heat near the equator in open sun I highly doubt the CB1 activating cannabinoids will be as prevalent as they would be being produced by the plant for the purpose of sealing itself from that intense Thai sunlight and heat.
Happy pheno hunting.
I feel so blessed by the creator of the most high for my original question being answered.
Throughout my own search I became obsessed with Southern Star Seeds (OzG where did you go bro start up again plz) MM / Nanan Bouclou accessions concerning the Thai stick trade of the 60's having it's influence in these genetics along with the novelty of Haitian and PNG genetics I personally found equally as rare as the Thai. More on that soon for another thread.
