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,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.

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.
Correct, but he did know what was what regarding the underground Sean regarding cannabis there.Andy didnt grow any thai weed btw ,, only early flowering dutch stuff
it was america that stamped out production of weed in thailand ,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.
find some documentary that coincides with this story ,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.
they survive sure ,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.
My self I believe you can still find the old school Thai in Thailand, sure It may be like finding a needle is a haystack for many outsiders and even some locals, but some would still have it and would be growing it. That's why people still come across outstanding examples of it.they survive sure ,
are they like they were?
no , they are lacking , you would be lucky to get something like it was in the 70s and 80s ,
the same is true of colombian stuff , go check out funkyhorses thread , he will tell you ,
and the same is true here too , most of the stuff from back then that has been reproduced over and over ,
isnt a shadow of what it was any longer ...
What has changed in those old landraces in your opinion? Is it their potency or the type of high?they survive sure ,

I'm aware of the different strains being used to make hash in Morocco today, some can make some excellent hashish but I prefer their old local strains. I have seen a video of a farmer in the Riff who is fighting to keep his old seed line alive and still produce the same hashish his father was doing. Cannabis is grown since a long time in Morocco but the hashish culture is not very old, before they were consuming the cannabis cut in a fine powder they call 'kief' and a sugary paste called majoum (not sure of the correct spelling).Marco is no different, sadly they to have seen their traditional varieties replaced by Dutch hybrids.
I read they grow things from Blueberry to white widow now, a shame really.
