so what makes u sure it was a thing then ??What I don't know too much about is how the Thai that was grown between Chang Mia and the Burma border in the Golden triangle was dealt with, did the CIA fly it out or was it also sent to Bangkok, no way of finding out really.
as far as i know , it was mostly subsistence farming ,
a field of opium would fetch a lot more than cannabis ,
so u can bet thats what most were doing ,
and its mountainous and jungle everywhere ,
not usually great for cannabis ,
thats why the north east , isaan area was the one known for most of the cannabis , and the neighboring countries also got in on the game too ...
