I’ve come across many posts discussing how THC levels claimed by vendors in Thailand are often exaggerated. A common suggestion is to look up the actual THC content of these strains on websites like Leafly or AllBud.
However, it’s important to remember that the strains being sold locally may not come from the same genetics as the original ones listed on these websites. In my experience, I’ve purchased weed in Thailand, looked up the strain online, and found that the flowers often look quite different from the photos of the original strain. That doesn’t mean the product I bought was bad, just that it likely wasn’t the exact same as the original.
When it comes to THC content, taking the numbers listed on international websites and applying them to what you’ve purchased locally can be tricky. A strain might be listed as having 25% THC on a website, but the actual THC level can vary greatly depending on how the plant was grown. If the growing conditions weren’t optimal, the final product may not match the reported THC percentage.
So, I’d recommend taking strain names and THC percentage claims in Thailand with a grain of salt. That said, there’s plenty of excellent and potent weed available here, so just enjoy it and don’t stress too much about the specifics.
