@StocktonT I also recently came across this interview with the author of a book that’s mentioned here a lot, most of it is nothing new but I found this an interesting bit of OG knowledge:
“ How different was “Thai stick” from other marijuana available at that time?
It was probably the best marijuana in the world. It was grown in [the Thai province of] Isan. It was grown both in Laos and Thailand. It was very, very particular to that region. It had to do with the climate. It had to do with the soil. It had to do with the cultivation technique that we suspect came down from China. Before the Americans, before the Westerners, before anybody came to help them with the technical side of growing, the Lao and Thais were incredibly sophisticated. They really knew what they’re doing.”
