Ahh mystery solved then
hahaha its weird how you conclude things hempy
May not be and is often not based on any facts at all but you like it that way it seems ,
Pretty sure most others like facts and evidence vs hearsay .. lol

 

[@hempy]

I just go by experience Donald if it don't look like a duck Quake like a duck then one can assume its not a Duck.

Leet lived in the UK i didn't or did you so going by what he had to say.

 

[acespicoli]

all the weed I ever smoked was someones homegrown so there's that ?

 

[Donald Mallard]

I chatted to Leet as he was in the UK at that time and i asked him you remember the so called Thai sticks coming into the UK Britishhemp had posted up he said it was Albanian grown.

I saw no more imports after the 80s here mate possible the compressed you saw was home grown.

can you put up pictures of this stuff hempy so i can see what you are talking about ,
i know other guys posted pics on here of some large sticks wrapped in red string very similar to what i posted earlier ,
the packaging had the tiger from tiger balm label , and there was asian writing ,
kinda tended to indicate it came from asia vs africa ,,
we may not even be talking about the same thing since u didn't bother to add any pictures and just assumed they were the same ,
so how about you clear that little bit up by finding a picture ,, folks can see what you are talking about then and make their own judgements ...

ohh because u saw no more imports after the 80-s does that mean there was none???
because there was , heaps of hashish was imported to Australia in the 90s ,
i purchased heaps of it and a lot of aussies remember the stuff well ,
sorry it didn't land near you mate , maybe you don't see everything that comes into the country :: ??

the stuff i mentioned was the exact same stuff as i saw in Thailand that comes from Laos ,
my nose is pretty good , it recognises smells well ,
i could be wrong , but I'm doubting it really ,
(if it was homegrown , someone had a huge backyard ,, there was literally tonnes of this compressed weed)
i know there was no more export weed growing in Thailand by then ,
but next door had plenty and still do, hundreds of kilos of laos brick get busted regularly ...
anyhow ill leave u with some laos brick pix ..

 

[@hempy]

You know your self finding Asian be it Thai or other Asian news peppers is not hard i could slap something together as could any one with little effort.

The Thai sticks i always thought were tied using fiber from the plants steam or from bamboo fiber i never saw cotton.

Also the compressed bricks of Thai sativas of old look very different to a lot of today's going by Andy (RIP) there was a lot of modern genetics grown to and not much of the old Thai sativas commercially.

I will look and try to find you the ones Britishhemp had posted up mate.

 

[Donald Mallard]

well ive been trying to tell you they are not thai sticks ,
they are from laos
and so is the compressed stuff , its not from Thailand ,
its from laos , its another country hempy , next door to Thailand where the laws are different ...

its true there is modern genetics in Thailand ,
but that doesn't affect what is grown in laos too much

the last time i saw andy at Koh Samui he scored some weed for me a few times ,
it was all laos brick, which is much the same stuff it has been for decades ,
some batches vary , are a little better than others , but generally its the same stuff ...

 

[mr.brunch]

The stuff in the UK being called Thai stick looked nothing like the Thai sticks of old and it looked wet even the stuff Donald posted that is compressed coming from Laos looks nothing like the compressed Thai we saw up until say 85/86.

Bringing weed from Asia to the EU would be almost impossible a fast speed boat from the cost of Africa to Spain is not.

Here is what compressed Thai looked like when we got it up until 85/86 before it stopped.

Compare that next to the modern compressed Thai or Laos Or UK lots very different.

Man.... top picture is what I was buying as Thai in the early 90s - maybe 90/91/92 (uk)
memories.....

Yes same here, int he 80's we had red Thai tied in red cotton string but looked different than the pic posted.

 

[Hammerhead]

The Thai stick I got did not look like that. They were small about 6" long? wrapped with hemp string. There was plenty of brick weed. No clue where it originated from. All of it was sub par weed loaded with seeds. These pics look like what we got in our area.

The stuff we used to get was not in sticks, it was compressed- that recognisable smell, brown in colour and yes, usually loaded with seeds.
thats how I cut my growing teeth, popping the seeds I got from the weed. Then wondering why they didn’t flower properly outdoor uk (!).

The sticks are Thai sticks, some of the best imports we got back then. The bricks were /are crappy weed. They flooded the area with that shit.

There was plenty good weed here in the uk late 70s and on into the mid 80s and great hashes it was awash with lebanese and nepalese and plenty of paki black.
Thai stick was rare but we got it, they were small and thin bone dry and brittle with a spicy flavour it was much better than the red brick weed that was more common.
The weed was half the price of hash and the blonde leb cheaper than the red. happy days for sure.

 

[mr.brunch]

Yep, mainly hash around my area when I started smoking- weed occasional, skunk rarely.
I used to like the blacks and the thin pressed sticky slate stuff
Although I wouldn’t go back to it, I much prefer the homegrown these days

 

[romanoweed]

Thai came in as sticks or as compressed weed it was all very good smoke but things changed around 85 last lot i smoked i got from a close friend was crap and we never saw any more imported Thai in any form after 85.

Yet in Thailand in 86 you could still find very good Thai sativas to smoke mate traveled there monthly for work after dropping his bags off at the hotel first thing he did was go score from a Thai contact he had .

 

[@hempy]

The worlds largest drug syndicate was formed during the Vietnam war this syndicate was responsible for most of the Thai weed hash opium ending up in Australia /America/ And UK and other places in whats is now the EU.

They were exposed by government inquiry's and Royal commissions here what people also need remember was Ronald Reagan war on drugs.Ronald Reagan was in power between 1981 to 1989 and all of this played a huge roll in ending this huge syndicate.

From the late 70s and 80s all my friends that traveled to the EU could not weight to get home and smoke home grown as all they saw over seas in Europe was hash.

We never had any Thai in bricks in our circle. Never seen it as far as I know. All the brick weed I saw was no good.

We Had Thai stick and then compressed Thai sativa same smoke my mate that traveled to Thai land always got an oz on landing that was never on a stick.

 

[@hempy]

This is the stuff they got in the UK 15 or so years ago this looks nothing like the Thai sativa we got and notice how fresh this looks wet
almost you really think this came across by ship from Thailand ?.

This don't look like Thai writing to me
