No, that's really not a possibility. Read the book "Thai Stick".

Hey cheers need4weed !
This past few days I have been removing the seeds from this lovely lady and sampling her smoke. At first point of breaking the flowers open seems to release an astringent? Somewhat sharp, ( but not at all unpleasant, just enough to get the attention of ones sinus and top of head ) inhaling the fragrance from my fingers there a nice warm spice , kept looking for the lingering softly sweet pine like note,
then finally tonight, upon deep inhalation the full body came through at the deep end,

Thai genetics were introduced in Colombia in 1977, I found in a Times magazine article from 1979.
Hypothetical opinion;
I believe this theory to be right about Asian genetics making it all the way to South America. It's the time line thats 100% accurate, I think Thai genetics made to the Americas long time ago, not even in this century. I can only point out the migration of humans coming from Asia into the Americas https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peopling_of_the_Americas
The lineage of some of the indigenous populations still in South America has Asian decent, it wasn't until colonial times that Europeans, middle eastern and African were put in the mix. When humans move (hunter and gatherers specially, they bring their seeds).
I like to think Thai genetics made it to the Americas and got completely established, add to that the man made selection over centuries, and to top that with a cherry add the introduction of Afgan genetics to South America and of course an endemic genotype population, all morphing to be "the Colombian" cartel weed that everyone fancies from Escobar times...

Interesting subject of conversation.

Thai definitely yes but not at the time you're suggesting and for a very simple reason. Namely that if that was true:
- there would be words for cannabis in the native languages of SA but there are none;
- there would be human artifacts that depict cannabis just like there are for peyote, wachuma, mushrooms (teonanacatl), ayahuasca (banisteriopsis caapi), ololiuqui, tobacco (cf the famous Xochipilli statue) and even coca but there's nothing of the sort for cannabis;
- there would be reports by early Western colonizers of the use of cannabis by indigenous SA cultures, just like there was for every single plant I mentionned above - but there are none for cannabis ;
- there would still be today traditionnal cannabis use amongst native SA people - but there are none.

Solid points actually. I, being born and raised in SA (Vzla), had never heard of any cannabis related use by native populations. I have heard of tobacco, yopo, ayahuasca, and other psychotropic plant medicine. But there is also a big big wave of culture that came from Africa with the introduction of the slave trade.
I also have some bias believe about the history written by colonizers; about what they found in terms of fauna and flora. I can only base on assumptions alone that a vast portion of the americas was/is a jungle with millions of plant forms, couldn't it be there its own genotype species of SA cannabis?
I only heard tales that in the jungles of Colombia and Peru mariguana grows freely I have never seen that part of the jungle as its ruled by FARC, ELN, and many other groups.
You are definitely right as there is no written fact that native ethnicities at least in my homeland use cannabis for shamanic purposes.
There was large scale worldwide movement of both Indian ganja and the Indians themselves since the 1800's - including northern SA and the Caribbean - and there is no good reason to think that any pot anywhere outside of central Asia didn't originally come from India.

I found no similarities between Thai and Colombians; in my opinion, their highs are completely different.
Some of my favorite, and the best feel good herb I have had in decades
There is a citrus element present in most of these so far, a touch sweet and a bit sour
I can't name any citrus in particular,
the overall fragrance is just this warm, inviting slightly effervescent incense

This one is wispiest of all the girls so far and seeds are the biggest and different than the others, that have been tan or brown, solidly colored, and smaller in size. There is a fragrance from this flowers I have found in Jamaican herb years ago
