Andy RIP told me you could still find the old school quality Thai there, but most of it was imported rubbish, and then you had a lot of the faster Dutch types also being grown.

I think the real damage to cannabis in Thailand came from imported genetics from people like KD who thought it was a good idea to cross things like feminised Super Lemon Haze from Aryan into the remaining Thai lines that he then spread those genetics far and wide through Thailand.

The final blow came from the Thai Government and the Thailand Unanimity when they gave out a million clones of high CBD they developed.

Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul announced in a Facebook post on May 7 that he wants to distribute one million cannabis plants with a THC level below 0.2% to households across the country for medical purposes only.

Thailand is to give away one million free cannabis plants to households across the country.

People like CannaT and there are many who have not experienced a good Thai to understand just how good they are and were.

Once the dust settles in Thailand I would love to see good Thai being grown there again but not in the hands of people like Aryan and the rest who are just in it to cash in. I would love to see the villages having control of the old lines, as it's part of their heritage.

honestly , the real damage was from the americans insisting on thais not growing cannabis because it was reaching their shores and they didnt like it,
ie , the war on drugs era ,
prior to that a lot was grown in the north eastern provinces for export ,
then they were pushed out , some stopped , others moved over the border to Laos,


Laos produced a lot of weed , but the quality wasnt near what it had been previously ,
the odd bit wasnt too bad and gave a hint of what once was ,
Andy didnt grow any thai weed btw ,, only early flowering dutch stuff ,
he said that was the only stuff that other westerners who had been there a while wanted to pay good money for ,
they probably all got sick of the laos brick after a while,
the few batches i got of it there wasnt too bad but that wasnt on the island where andy was based ,
the stuff i had with andy was pretty ordinary and expensive for what it was ,
im not sure he was a very big toker based on the visits i had with him ,
i reckon he preferred coke ...

I think the Mr. Asia crime syndicate had a lot to do with the degradation of quality Thai weed. They had a lock on buddhist sticks going into Australia and New Zealand in the mid 1970s. They wanted Moore money so they started importing heroin and stepped up production of weed in Thailand. That’s right around the time the tie sticks disappeared forever. It’s likely that they increased production by introducing hybrids.

Correct, but he did know what was what regarding the underground Sean regarding cannabis there.

A lot of Thai was bought by middle men from the farmers then taken back to Bangkok where it was graded and then sold for export to the smugglers, the farmers had nothing to do with the smugglers. The middle men arranged delivery to the boats.

I have also read and seen old documentaries where it was said a lot was also grown in the Golden Triangle I think near Burma they were under the protection of the warlords where the opium was also being grown.

Regardless, I know for fact there was still very good old school Thai in Thailand in 1986 that was 2 years after the imported Thai stopped coming to Australia. After Thai imports stopped, any Thai here was grown here by people with the genetics, and they still exist.

Law enforcement was heavy everywhere, including Australia and America take Colombia the DEA with the help of the Colombian military absolutely smashed that country worse than Asia and yet a lot of their lines survived and people still continue to grow them there Thailand should be no different.

Handing out a million specifically breed 0.2 THC High CBD clones to Thais would have done more damage than the DEA could have ever hoped for.
