Thanks for those amazing flicks! Gotta love those oldschool pictures from Thailand and the embassy shipping... damn, that's hardcore indeed!
I wish I could ride my Delorean 3000 and ride back into those days! Good job!
Vibes.
P.S: I've just found a cool video about the surf smugglers of the 60s and a recently released book that sounds pretty interesting too:

Holy Crap!
What a great series of pictures. Look how green and gold they look when being packaged. By the time they came our way, they were golden brown, although green colors could be seen on close inspection.
I had a close friend go to Jamaica in the early 70's. Jamaican hash, made using rum and had seeds in it, was smuggled back in a "boom box". But he also brought back a couple of lengths of bamboo, one fat one, and one the thickness of a finger. He used it to make a bong like the one in that picture. Apparently, this was the customary method of smoking in Jamaica also. From then on, we switched from smoking using water pipes, on occasion, to smoking from bongs. He also started rolling joints in a cone shaped fashion. One end being real fat, while the other end was relatively skinny. That never really caught on with us. It took too much skill, or too much paper.
Thanks Bushy, for the best Thai Stick series of pictures I have ever seen. I'm going to Google Earth to find Chiang Mai right away.

Great history, thanks for sharing everybody. I knew it wasn't just my imagination.
The Opium wars were to stop the (British) trade in Opium, they did not start it, nor was it smuggling, it was open trade.

Great video, ive had the rum weed not to long ago, loads of seeds.
Look lush there Hmong. I've been doing some reading and it seems that "Miao" is a Chinese term used to describe all of the various hill tribe people of southern China and the Golden Triangle region, including the Hmong tribe. There is a derogatory connotation to the term in the minds of most hill tribes, since it is used by the Han Chinese in a xenophobic context, in much the same way as 'alien' or 'ferengi' is used.
Despite what namkha says, there are hill tribes who do refer to themselves as 'Miao' and cultivate cannabis. Here is a plant from the White Meo tribe near Chiang Mai, with one of Elmer's girlfriends...
While I'm here I might as well stick up a pic of my Walking stick Thai, since it reminds me of those Vietnamese on the previous page...

Ah Khun Noy .
She`s a good NW girl . Not like the bad girls from over in the East . he he .
One girl I spent some time traveling with, at first told me Gan cha was bad . Ooh very baaad .
I took the time to explain that was US brain washing . And that Thai folks had used Gan cha as medicine for 1000s of years . I asked is the US government wiser than 100s of generations of Thai people ? That got her thinking .
A few days later she was suffering with PMT .
I told her the Gan cha was a natural remedy . So she took a small toke from my Farang bong [ juice bottle with garden hose ] . The next day she asked if it was ok to have some more . As it had given relief from the pain .
I couldn`t believe I was in the home of cannabis teaching locals of the benefits !!
Thanks for sharin

thank you
they are finally accepting the soil and it also seems that the mykorhizza works.
now they start to shoot out like wild. If they stay like that i'm gonna flip them this weekend. finally^^
I also took some cuttings.
I'm always appreciating your background stories, very interesting read.
Elmer Bud too of course

I did some googling ...
Ever heard of Long Chien Laos ?
There was a secret US airforce base there . 400 flights a day in its hey day .
The CIA were arming "Hmong" folks as freedom fighters against communist forces in nth Laos . Using Long Chien as a staging area .
At one point US forces bombed Laos every 4 minutes .Carpet bombing 3km by 1 km strips . US forces dropped more bombs in Laos than the allies dropped on Germany and Japan combined .
At the same time the US president denied there were US forces in Laos ??
Unexploded ordinance still kills and maims to this day .
Don`t think I`ll be going strain hunting up there .

Hi mate is the "classic thai" type pretty common around Nakhon phanom or is it abit of a hunt and would it be the same type as what would be found in vientien? How about the luang prubang type i hear about is it different to what can be found in vientien or the same?
Im actually in udon thani atm and know people in both vientien and NP so i think i feel a road trip coming on!
cheers
It's as simple as this; in Vietnam they refer to the 'Vietnam War' more aptly as the 'American War'...the war museum in Saigon is something to behold if you're into humbling experiences.
Hi mate, I think you'll find subtle differences in strain types if you are asking the right people i.e. if your friends have connections to local growers. All the old Australians and Americans who went through Thailand in the 70s describe it as a mecca of strains in the same way as Mexico or Colombia were, within an umbrella of a few broader genotypes. While that sort of diversity is not there anymore, I think you will still find differences in different regions.
Here's one you probably won't see anymore, a three leafed Thai, that grows 20 feet in every direction, but with flowers so wispy, it only yields half a pound...

5 days passed and no more pics of lovely sativas?
cant't be
HH flowering day 5
as you can see i have some pH issue in my soil.
I'm brewing a tea already, tomorrow I'm goin to fix that.
but this sulfur deficiency has some advantage of restricting them a little in the growth atm. it would indeed help a lot if they dont get too tall, I'm not chasing yields at all.

That Hmong Hilltribe reminds me of the Real Seed Co Mekong variety. Do you know if it's the same strain? I know BC highland Thai is originally from Real Seed Co and I think it's the Thai/Burmese boarder Thai they offered first, but where does the HH orginate from?
Bushy, what's the origin of the three leaf Thai? Is it potent too?

yesterday I realized that BC is active again. now they have their own site, no more reseller.
breeders-choice.org
Everything is back in stock, this makes my intend of preserving this line pretty senseless anyhow.
on their site it says:
Name: Hmong Hilltribe
Type: Sativa Pure
Genotype: Hmong Tibe - Thailand/Laos highland border regions
Breeder: Breeders Choice
Collected in Situ
so it is native
