Thai weed from Thailand

[funkyhorse]

what are people using the water pipes, cough Bongs for in China...?

It is a 100% for export industry, local people wouldnt know what is a grinder for, not to talk about bongs
Basically what is designed and made for the local chinese market is not interesting for export and viceversa
It is the showroom of the factory as FTL correctly described.
There are many factories like that one, I know the city where it is made
In China usually industry hubs are all in the same area for the same kind of goods
I am seeing a lot of tech products today, China has advanced a lot, it is becoming on par with Korea and Japan

I am seeing 3D Bob Marley Tshirts. Very nice designs, all for export.
Chinese wouldnt know who Bob Marley was
The kind of products I look at have no market in China. And the products that are hot in China have no market abroad. We have a totally different taste
Even in South East Asia marketable products are a little different. Those bongs in Thailand would be great sellers.
What is interesting in China is to manufacture your own goods, your own designs for your own market, it gives you an advantage because it is very difficult to compete with chinese pricing when they produce quantities

You guys made check out the price of cigarettes
Double happiness has many different qualities. The cheapest is 1,8u$s a pack of 20 and 4u$s is the most expensive. I cant believe a pack of 30 cigarettes is sold for 40u$s, weed is cheaper, is healthier, non addictive
Tobacco kills and quitting it is more difficult than quitting heroine

I am seeing these signs in every hotel in this area now
Weed has same penalties as heroine in China

It wasnt like this before 8 years I didnt come back to Asia is such a long time, Asia advances very fast, I am seeing a lot of investment in infraestructure everywhere in Asia
Iphone rules, iphone has become for smart phones what Windows is for Pcs laptops.
My old southamerican phone is totally obsolete in Asia. Everything is paid by apps now, very little cash flow and everybody pay with their mobiles.
It is a whole new world. Even visas now are made online. Presentiality is just for online backup, all aplications are online today

not all variegation in plants is caused by chimeras; some variegation is due to genetic mutations or natural patterns, while others are caused by viral infections.

That basically sums it up!

This rolling tobacco 6.80 € for 30 grams at the tobacco shop(authorized)
My wife bought this pack of Marlboro this morning in a bar...20 cigs 6.15 €

More money in illegal cigs than pot now a days.

“Double happiness” 20s for $20 …. Just go see any Chinese owned corner store…. Got Nana on look out outside the store all day too

during the last days of chop chop where i live ,
you could get a kilo of quality tobacco for $50,
around 25 years ago that was ,
but u were better off getting caught with a kilo of weed than a kilo of illegal tobacco .. lol ..

 

[Donald Mallard]

in contrast , i was getting lbs of weed then at 2200,
i recently got that very same guy back to 2200 ,
if that product was legal and regulated , there is no chance it would be like that after 25 years ,
something to think about with legality , u cant trust the government , particularly in Australia ...
Legal medical weed , for top quality , is a higher price than black market weed which can often be even better quality ...

In Holland and most of Europe, you find their joints are easily 50/50 no they can have it.

I didn't know that when I went to Amsterdam, sat down in the Cannabis Castle, and rolled a Texas sized joint of pure Amnesia Haze. Everybody at that table got destroyed. They accused me of lacing the joint, so I showed them the roach and what was left of the nug. It was then that I realized Europeans are not used to smoking pure joints. I could never put tobacco in my weed. I know what it does, and the high is affected (accelerates the affects, buzz of the tobacco initializes the high), but I was born and raised on smoking pure cannabis joints. I will also say, and you can disagree if you want, but quitting hard drugs is easier than quitting cigarettes. I smoked 2 packs a day. Cigs (in their tobacco altered state) are evil in my estimation, and should be illegal.

Brother, I grew up in a time when smoking was prescribed by doctors for stress more people smoked than not, and you could smoke everywhere, and I fully agree with you that cigarettes are the most addictive things out there.

Now fast-forward to 2025 you pay $60 plus for a pack here because government knows how addictive they are and use the excuses of we're doing it for your own good to get you to quite lol

Now we have a multibillion dollar black market people shooting each other and tobacconists being blown up all in the name of health, outcomes mmm okay.

The same thing happened with Alcohol prohibition, and the same thing is still happening around the world with the drug war. More money is made by keeping this under prohibition than if it was legal/decriminalised, that's the reality.

Making money. Pretty sure it’s a factory show room. They’ve stepped up their game since I used to sell ahem “flower vases”

Oil pourer .
Wally and I went into a tobacco shop in Oz looking for a bong . They had one in a box with a perspex window labelled "Oil pourer " The cone was glued on upside down to look like a vessel for pouring salad dressings .

When I called it a bong they told me it wasn`t and not to use that language in their shop .
We took it home and ripped the cone off turned it around and commenced to smoke through it .

Fcking Oil Pourer .

About 40 years ago all we could score was black hash by the gram .
So every day my mate and I would buy a block .

We smoked it with tobacco in a bong . 1/8 approx gram per bong load .
My buddies sister who didn`t smoke was often around as we mixed it up and smoked it .
One day she said it`s interesting to watch you boys smoke that stuff . You have a bong , cough a lot then you are energised for a half hour . Lots of talking . Then you go all quiet and just stare at the TV .

I thought about it . In those days I didn`t smoke cigarettes . So the niccotine was uber strong through the bong . That would hype me up along with the hash onset . Then when the buzzing in my ears would settle down and I guess the CBD took effect and feel very mellow and relaxed .

Oil pourer that’s the first time I’ve heard that. One….. makes sense lol

thats the laws hey, same as NZ. We used to have to sell the bong and cone piece separately too and never call it a bong.

No weed leaves on anything, no glass pipes that even vaguely resembled crack pipes.

Me old boss wanted to push the limits and import all that stuff for “activist reasons”….. I quoted the laws but na he knew better….. lost $3k in stock to customs no refunds. Undercover pigs would come in and test us too try to talk bong and ask about growing weed …. Na mate we only do tomatoe growing lround here ol

Wasn’t worth selling that stuff in a grow store imo. Attracted too many dumbass kids and crack heads.

What’s wrong with a plastic milk bottle a bit of hose pipe and a socket for a bong…… cnuts want to be all fancy these days like weed a fashion statement

I grew up in that era too. Could smoke on trains, in a movie theatre, offices, planes, etc. Strange to think back on it now.

Smokers and drinkers are easy targets for tax. On the flip side, if you end up with health issues from these, then it's tax payers who front your hospital care, so it's not like there isn't any logic in this. I think they have gone too far with taxes though and don't have the balance right. As you say, it's resulted in tobacco wars, created an illegal market.

I work in disabilities and have a few clients who are schizophrenic who absolutely need cigarettes. Hard on a disability pension.

I gave up tobacco over 20 years ago. Was at a pub with my 2 grown up children one night a couple of years ago. They were all getting into nico vapes, and I stupidly tried some in a effort to stay awake, and was pretty much addicted again. Nicotine is highly addictive.

I loved the Smokey bars and clubs in Aussie the early 2000s…… 100+ years of nicotine stains on some of those old pub walls …. Added to the atmosphere …. Literally

Tobacco tax affects the poor disproportionately too. $100 a week is a lot of money when you’re on min wage. Leads to some nasty negative externalities imo

 

[Elmer Bud]

If I see some one in a movie or a music video smoking a cigarette I get twitchy .

 

[Elmer Bud]

Anyone have experience with the old Thai rolling papers in a red packet that had no glue on the paper ?
Rough coarse paper in cigarette sized sheets . No glue . Just fold the paper and hold it so the baccy doesn`t fall out .

Now there are many options at the corner store .

Currently in Melbourne, Australia most of the tobacco shops sells bongs openly along with many different types of rolling papers, mainly the raw brand. The bongs are on open display. The "Oil pourer" days are over here. Even some $2 shops and old fashioned milk bars are in on the action.

 

[sativanese]

Ah Oil pourer. My youth..... Hideous quality though.

 

[kro-magnon]

Was give a close friend of mine Headbanger 5th generation that i breed,he gets one chimera plant
and we was smoke some buds that was total yellow in colour and there is no difference at all.

They hit same as green buds,so chimera plants are not negative mutation like fasctiation whos buds are
not potent at all.

Do you have pics of those yellow flowers? I'm curious to see what they looked like but I don't think they qualify as chimera for having yellow buds, it can come from so many different factors it's impossible to say without seeing them.

still not happening here in fnq ,
u can get those little pipes , which folks buy ,
then use the cone piece and fashion the old dare , or orchy bottle bong ,
with hose , that emits poisonous fumes when heated up so much that its nearly burning ,

weirdly folks love that and see it as part of the high i think ,
i made a mate a really nice bamboo bong for his birthday , thai style ,
first tokes , he loved it , wow , amazing , etc etc ,
a week later go see him , hes back on the plastic bottle with hose piece ,
i guessed missing that extra zing the poison gasses were giving him,

if the act of smoking , then adding tobacco wasnt enough ,
personally i think this sort of thing creates a severe health problem ,
let them have a bong ffs , they are gonna be smoking weed either way ,
at least give them a better alternative than the fumes from burning rubber hoses ...

i dont think legalisation is safe in the hands of governments that cant make decent decisions for the people and favor cooperates over them , every single time ,
i predicted what is happening now 20 years back ,
they may legalise weed , but only for purchase , not to grow your own ,
they dont allow growing tobacco ,
my prediction was that in fact growing would end up with a harsher penalty once legal ,
they have already said re medical , we are not able to make a diagnosis , we are not doctors or chemists ,
we cant provide our own medicine ,, leave that to us ,, yea right , thanks guys ...

View attachment 19174616

Those are the Spanish prices, in France the same 30g of Pueblo is around 15€ and a pack of 20 cigs about 13€, all the people I know who still smoke tobacco buy some on black market now. It became a huge business for eastern mafias to deal tobacco, they even have some factories to make fake famous brands with chinese tobacco full of pesticides. I'm glad I stopped tobacco years ago, only need some to smoke some hashish.Sometimes I use dry leaves to smoke some hash when i don't want to go buy some tobbaco just for a joint or two.
