I think a fella named Brian Odea ran some of the last of it tooWas easier to get it into Oz back then Wal than California - Howard Marks was kinda instrumental in getting good Thai 'erb into the states late 70's - early 80's - till he got busted and had to do some years in a Fed Pen - (RIP Howard) -
@Tom Hill is original as it goes, pure him self no pretending from the few left of his kind, talks straight talks no holding back. I have followed some from his ways in my breeding projects. Has my respect toMan I'm gonna miss Tom's bravado if he ever does really leave the forums. Even though I don't necessarily agree with him on a lot of issues, I have to respect a man for walking like he talks, and slinging his shit at other apes when it's due.
Killer Art work I load my vape with some haze .Same. Fly high guys.

couldnt imagine thai in one of those gravity bongs ,Only smoked the Thai Stick once out here on the East Coast... Usually was seedy brick out here back then and long dry spells, Had to do Gravity Bongs to conserve and get real high...
Yep - I was in S.F. California in '78 working the door at The Mabuhay Gardens on Broadway - and real good Thai was going for $20 per gram - same price as locally grown sensimilla - suddenly no one wanted the old Mexi and Columbian brick 'erb - even though it was much cheaper -
- That Thai on the market at that time was excellent - and laid the ground for many trips I have made to Thailand over many decades - where I have found excellent 'erb also - I'm off to Thailand again next month - and wonder if I still can find something as good as it was waaay back then -

I got my first Thai stick in Sydney in '77 and I think it was $12, pricey compared to $8 "foilies", and you could go and buy a bag of local bush grown buds for $30, not weighed but mostly around a 1/3 d oz at a guess. Hash was the only thing sold in grams, black putty or leb blonde.Thai sticks in Sydney were $15 each in September 1979 when I bought my first Thai sticks off a biker I became friends with. The price went up to $20 a stick and stayed at that price for years, they started off closer to 2 grams a stick.
The price of the Thai stick stayed the same, but over the next few years, the size weight of the Thai stick got smaller.
It started off with the Thai weed tied, then you had a lot of the compressed stuff into the 80s up until 84/85 when the imported Thai stopped completely.
The quality of the Thai was consistent tied or compressed all the way until the last year of imports, the last Thai I scored was complete rubbish.
In Thailand, it was still good in 1986 I know this because a close friend travelled to Thailand monthly for work.
so you are saying everyone that smoked thai and still raves about it ,Historically, there wasn't a strict separation between hemp and weed in terms of cultivation in Thailand. The distinction we have today between hemp (low THC) and weed (high THC) is more of a modern concept driven by legal and industrial demands.In traditional Thai agriculture and society, cannabis was just one plant used for many different purposes, whether it was for medicinal use, recreational use, or practical applications like making rope and textiles. The plant naturally had various uses depending on how it was harvested and processed, without the need to distinguish between "hemp" and "weed" in the way we do today.This more recent distinction between hemp and weed came about largely due to modern legal frameworks and regulations, where governments began regulating plants based on their THC content. Before this, in places like Thailand, cannabis was simply seen as a versatile plant used in everyday life for various reasons, whether industrial, medicinal, or even spiritual.
Thats is the reason why all Landrace cannabis cant be as potent as our today western cannabis which is highly breeded towards THC.
When you had 15yo 2 beers will knock you out...today they go easily after lunch.
Those are all your myths...of youth.
And nothing more.
Best Cannabis on earth today is American - Dutch cannabis.
And no other landrace can compare.
I hear you.

Looks like I'll be around Trat - Cambodian border area - for a few days - it's not strictly a seed hunting mission - but if anything good shows up - I'll be on it -Hi!
If you go next month to Thailand for seedhunting you have to go to Nakhon Phanom,Phon Sawan where the Thai Stick is comming from.
Did you saw my last seedhunting travel pictures from this area?
There are still many,many old Thai strains,it depens which village you visit.
