This is the kind of Thai brick, we saw in the coffeeshop around 2010.

Nice dream to have a farm in Thailand - growing heirloom sativas - for preservation and distribution - but to get all of that paid for and set up - until it's productive and profitable in a growing Thai market - with all of the intricate difficulties and costs - licences and taxes it will present - looks like a challenge I'm not in good shape to attempt right now - without a sponsor and help from many others to achieve - it's a big project that would require an expert grower who can live and work in Thailand for the next few years - to bring the idea to fruition -

I'm kinda stuck in the UK with 2 teenage kids right now - needing my support for at least the next 3 years - before I could embark on such a venture - and by then I'd be 68 years old - and hopefully (depending on my health) - still up for visiting Thailand occasionally -

Times change - and the names of the 'erb changes with it - so it seems - and for many years I was a major cannabis seed distributor - noticing that over more than 20 years the vast majority of seeds sold were indica hybrids - most growers wanted plants that produced the highest yield in the shortest growing time - and most tokers were after the highest THC level Indicas - the same seems to apply in Thailand today -

Pure sativas are rare to find these days and seem to be only of value to a niche market of growers and tokers - sadly View attachment 19129091

Wow that marketing is next level!

Its well made, very shiny, popping colours and americanized. Very pushy. i find it a bit scary. But yeah, highend capitalistic marketing like with every other a bit more valuable product.

superheroes that name the strain, I think that is too much. You shouldnt make weed that appetizing to the youth and children. Imo

If there would be the same marketing with thai/landrace cultivars, i wouldnt be so negative about it (except the superheroes)

it would be a niche market there. Imagine, a nice hostel in thailand, with beautiful nature around and different landrace cultivars to enjoy your trips through the beaches and jungles. Woaah. I would try to go there as much as i can.


maybe there is another thread, but how is the legislation now in 25 in thailand. Can the people of thailand still grow and sell there like before? I thought there is a more conservative change coming?

@Gypsy Nirvana would be awesome if those Thai stick seeds you offered years ago are still around, hopefully there are still things out there that are similar

The interesting Thai Brick I came across was purchased waaay down in Southern Thailand - at a kinda outdoor/corner in a small village - on Koh Lanta - not far from Krabi - and I'd presume that it was grown - dried and pressed more locally than very faraway in Isan - but then ya never know these days - 'erb can travel across the country via post swiftly - but I've known the guy who sold me the Thai Brick Weed - from other trips out that way - he used to sell CBD fruit/milkshakes a few years back - and now he can sell flowers - so he's a happy camper -

What they call sativa is all indoor hybrid, the one calling these hybrids "sativa" is the seedmaker according to his imagination because everything is indica hybrid indoor weed

damn, it's the same here in the u.s. (at least here in the east coast), every once in awhile i'll see a ssh or jack cross, but it's mostly OGs and GSCs and anything named after dessert.

the war on drugs is one of the most destructive crapstains on posterity, and although in ways it is winding down, its fx are still felt (how many nonviolent offenders behind bars?)... sorry for the rant, just this thread is poignant. awesome, but poignant.

i'm just glad some of the old NLDs still made it out alive

I was reading a thread on a different forum from a guy in Thailand experiencing the same as you, Funkyhorse I think someone suggested he contacts Prempavee, and she's mailing him some sativa or sativa hybrid.

As far as I am a wear Prempavee farm is in Isan might be worth contacting her but you're going to need to speak some Thai.

Can speak in English too

I found this podcast with Prempavee and her Husband, they didn't grow cannabis before it became legal I wounder if they even smoke.

Hi Prempavee nice to see you posting what you're doing is important.

I am a big fan of Thai cannabis, have been for a very long time what if any projects are in place to try and collect the very old lines that were around in the 60s and 70s that made Thai cannabis famous from the older growers /smokers as that quality does not seem to be available any more.

 

[Genghis Kush.]

The lack of experience by the modern Thai ganja farmers may play a big part in the lack of good traditional Thai herb being available. It’s going to take a good number of years before there are expert outdoor herb farmers in that environment like there was before the 80’s .
The excellent herb was produced by excellent farmers with hundreds of years of tradition behind them .

It's clearly genetic and farming and growing is not something new to the Thai people or is growing cannabis.

Hey @Prempavee

Nice to see you here! Welcome

I was looking through your varieties several times. Really enjoy them. Gonna listen to the podcast soon.

I wish you all the best in preserving the old thai genetics and cannabis culture.
