I beg to differ respectfully of course
I knew a group of ex Vietnam vets who had a huge op from Thailand to Portland and the Bay Area and north Georgia
Barges and 707s
They paid the right people as Thailand works
Late 70s till early 90s when an ocean barge got tagged in Portland I think with 40 tons
Their stuff was usually 20 pound sealed bags thick ply with nitrous injection
It would stay fresh for 18-24 months though it never stayed on the shelf too long
Granted todays super grade American indoor is twice the potency but this was sensebud
Seedless
Probably mid teens thc
Serious weed for then
Jamaica and Belize also had sensebud but Jamaica was less quality usually
Colombia tried seedless and moved on from redbud and gold bud but it was less impressive
Belize garifuno and mennonites grew very good weed
But could not produce quantity
Not easily
Mexico still does not in my opinion
Cartel weed or zona bud is in my opinion even though very cheap not worth it
Couldn’t give it away here in the south
American indoor is the best
I have a family member in a legal state grows weed assayed at 29-32%
And folks come from dispensaries in northeast and Chicago and pay him 2-2200 a pound which is damn high today but they legal retail for 350-500 a zip in store
What’s killed weed biz just happened
Oklahoma went all legal
Cheap permit to grow and no plant count
Okies are awash in herb
And it’s made folks in NorCal and SW Oregon simply quit
You can buy surplus herb there now for 600 for a box
Same deal six or seven years ago was 3200 a pound
Price of herb will be eventually be determined by the taxes not cost of production and nobody will grow indoor too expensive
I bet all those orchid growers around carpenteria California have stopped too
It’s like CBD growers here in tennessee
A mad rush to grow it then a glut and now nobody grows it
I’ve been around this since 1971 and always wondered what legalization might look like
Well here we are
Sure took the business out of it
Thailand grows weed for tourists and locals maybe that’s why they lag quality wise?
Man you could get hammered for pot there once if not protected
Crazy world
I wonder if Thai weed in 70s ever was actually opium dipped
Never felt like a Percocet to me honestly
Urban legends about weed can be mighty tall talk
You have a Thai wife?
She shouldn’t be surprised. Anutin Charnvirakul hasn’t been pushing for ganja legalization so he can roll a blunt. I’m pretty sure that he is making some big bucks from this.
Yes, they have released everybody previously jailed for ganja.
yep, for the last 33 yrs now
This is great news. Thai prison is pure suffering . I’ve had a few relatives in that predicament, so I know
Nothing better than a good Thai woman. A bad Thai woman, in the other hand...
If your lady likes rock, here's a song she may enjoy, called Amazing Thailand (by a group called Taitosmith)
Thai girl & tiger rhyme for good reason
“Mexico still does not”
Ha! Poor, poor Mehico. Lol
