Dang I miss those. The all time pinnacle of Canabis breeding, cultivation, and presentation.

I did get some Sumatran which were loose, golden brown, larger buds. They weren't as cleanly trimmed so I could see the crocodile tail type of serrations that the Thai leaves also had. Very similar taste and high. I heard later that Thai Sticks where in such demand that they started growing it in other regions. This was the early 70s.

I'm trying to tease out the Thai genetics out of "modern" (spit) hybrids. The ones that seem to lean Thai, drop their leaves. I spend a significant amount of time pulling off dead or dying leaves off the buds. It's similar to your picture above.

This is often how a young Thai plant looked.

I appologize if I am too much off topic. These are not from Thailand, but the genetics, though diluted, are originally from there.

I read that there are still the old top Asian varieties
but it is difficult for foreigners to access them

even today with the legalization I haven't read or seen any about elite Thai Strains or seeds
