The sticks I bought in California were the real thing - smuggled in from Thai/Lao/Cambodia by a well know San Francisco smuggler who's now CEO of a publicly traded weed company.  It sounds like you have no idea what real "Vintage Thai Sticks" were all about - probably because you are too young. 

 

 

Since you dismissed my judgment, and suggesting my memory of REAL Vintage Thai sticks is some sort of fantasy - let me be honest. The weed PrikPot delivered was total garbage weed that I refused to smoke. I dont' care what you call it... I wouldn't smoke it for free.

 

Instead of insulting dissatisfied customers - try toning down the BS hype in your promotions. It's completely ridiculous ????

I did not mean to insult you, I simply said that it is impossible to know what type of strain you remember. 

However, we do have a product guarantee and if you are not happy, we will arrange for a replacement. Please send an email to [email protected] and we will take care of that. If it is not as you expected, we will of course rectify that.

I ordered some of this "vintage" Thai weed to give it a try.

 

I have fond memories of smoking Thai sticks in the 70's and early 80's in California. Sticks ranged from pretty good to great - the best of which held it's own with California Sensimilla. I remember a sweet slightly sour smell and deep body buzz.  

 

The PrikPot version had no resemblance to anything I remember about Thai Sticks. It was neither pleasant to smoke nor stony. My buddy and I rolled two joints out of a gram. Neither of us cared to smoke the second joint.  I would much rather have had 1/3 as much weed of the HiSo bud thats 3x the price.

 

This is the second over hyped "innovation" I've tried from PrikPot. The "Dip Trip" was equally disappointing. 

 

Online weed buying just isn't working for me. I'll stick to places where my well trained nose can give the product a proper sniff ????

Thank you for your input. I don't think the "thai sticks" you bought in California would have any resemblance to our Vintage Thai, simply because it is not grown in the same environment, and it is most probably not based on the same genetics. Also, personal memories are quite subjective and hard to mimic. ????

As for our Dip Trip, this is an experiment in creating a new product, mainly aimed at those who wish to consume cannabis without smoking it. We know the price is a little too high at the moment, but we work on pushing down the production costs. But so far, we have had great reviews and we will continue to develop this product in different varieties (strains) and prices. 

Thailand is still in the early stages of all this and we are doing our best to innovate and come up with new products, some will work, some will not. We do however appreciate relevant feedback from our customers so we can adjust and improve, if needed.

That compressed thai stick is selling for 300 baht a kilo on shoppee. May not be yours but it smokes the same and as with all thai stick ( thai weed) its great at first but smoke it too often and the effect is minimal. 1-2 a day and within a week you need to stick 2g in 1 to feel high. Enjoyable though.

There are tons of low quality "brick weed" sold everywhere, and not surprisingly there is a surplus of that on the Thai market at the moment. This is not the same, even though they might originate from the same strain. If you smoke the same strain for a long time, you will usually develop a tolerance and need more to in order to feel the effect.

Looks nothing like the chocolatey Thai sticks I used to smoke, those pic looks like immature poorly manicured buds.

Sorry but  I gotta be true to the old school masters.  

As mentioned above, its not the "Thai Sticks" as in the rolled cigar shaped sticks. This the strain named Thai, that were used (mostly) to make Thai Sticks. Some of (edited) the original Thai Sticks were also dipped in opium, something we obviously don't do. Maybe thats why you refer to "chocolatey". ????

We do however plan to offer traditional Thai Sticks soon (minus the opium).

I get the 5 months to grow but 6 months to cure?

 

That's absolutely not necessary... unless waiting for it to turn golden in colour.

 

Or maybe trying to replicate the slightly aged taste when it arrived on the West Coast of USA and Canada after a 3 month sea voyage.

Hello,

Not sure where you got that information from. Ask any grower and they will agree that the longer you cure it the better. The recommended minimum is usually 3-4 weeks, and many growers cut corners in order to get their products out the door faster. 

In the case of our Vintage Thai, we are convinced the extended curing is one of the keys to its quality.

You're advertising your weed is organic but not certified or proven with lab results, right?

Could you please explain, thank you.

We have limited lab reports at the moment, but will publish them as soon as the complete ones are in. We are working with a university to perform the tests.

Hey PrikPot and other weed enthusiasts, I'm intrigued but afraid I don't know much about it.

 

How's the ganja for high blood pressure? The stuff the local hospital's been giving the missus has been messing her up. She's tired all the time, wants to sleep early. Would weed fix it? Which kind?

Hey, we are not in a position to give medical advice around cannabis. But as with all good things in life, be careful what you consume when you got high blood pressure. There are a lot of natural remedies that usually help, such as freshly pressed ginger and turmeric. Readily available around here. Then of course, cut down on sugar (read beer). ????

For all you naysayers, PrickPot is getting close to selling out their stock of weed....Trust me folks price is not so important if you can have weed delivered to your house or condo,with a few mouse clicks.... 

 

Plus they offer COD to boot.....So no need to pay immediately...

We are actually restocking this weekend and will launch six new strains on Monday. And we will have a good steady supply from now. 

It is also important to point out that besides free delivery, COD, support and premium organic weed, we spend a LOT of time finding growers that meet our requirements. There is a difference between weed and weed. Not all, but many of the cheaper products you find on the market have been grown with PGRs (Plant Growth Regulators), counter-fit cheap nutrients that are highly carcinogenic.  

There are many good growers out there, but it is not easy as a consumer to navigate and know what is good and bad weed. We will also start lab testing products from our growers next month to add an extra level of comfort.

They advertise same day shipping.

I ordered two days ago. Order is still showing as "processing".  

Not really a good way to start out.

Unimpressed, so far.

 

We normally ship same day if you order before 1pm. The last few days have been extreme, and we literally been working day and night to get all the orders out. But from today we are up to speed and back to normal shipping times. We regret the delay, but we were taken by surprise about the strong demand.

Um not at your ridiculous prices it is definitely not a buyers market. How the hell are you in sales?

Our prices are great for the quality and service our customers get, and our sales clearly shows that. Comparing comparing apples and oranges does not benefit anyone.

Is it possible that indoor growing negates the need for pesticides so is more organic & is easier to control? 

That is correct. Indoor growing allows 2 things if done right, no need for pesticides and it produces higher yield, together with overall better quality. This method comes at a cost, electricity and lack of space (volume). So a specific seed from one supplier might be at half the price, but it most definitely is sold at a loss to gain market share, and/or they are using PGRs (Plant Growth Regulators, aka, growth hormones/steroids), 

We will not sell these types of products, and our selected partners only use the appropriate professional equipment in terms of lights and nutrients. This of course results in higher production costs until we reach a certain level of volume. 

That said, it is possible to produce similar quality with outdoor growing in the right conditions (a controlled green house environment, which is expensive to build), but it will take a few months until Thai growers are up to speed and able to produce the volume that will be required for this coming high season, then prices will drop, no doubt.

So for those of you that are concerned about prices etc, we are at the very beginning at this point, and all of us should be happy to live in this amazing country and be able to enjoy this piece of freedom that we were just awarded. 

And for all of you that work(ed) in the tourism industry, brace yourself, it will go wild this coming high season. ????

while i appreciate the option as well as the responses given, 700 a gram is frankly a rip off.

 

and to post your price list with zero reduction up to 8 grams is just laughable!

 

if your price is 700 a g, why bother listing additional weights/prices??

 

2 grams for 1400

3 grams for 2100

4 grams for 2800

5 grams for 3500

6 grams for 4200

7 grams for 4900

8 grams for 5600....

 

 

lmfao!!

 

wish you luck but on principal i cant pay that sort of money for a herb i can now legally grow myself..

 

 

 

I am not sure how you can call this a rip off. Our prices are based on the current market conditions, which in reality means how much the growers charge, availability and product quality. And of course you can grow it yourself. Why buy a car from a dealer when you can build it yourself, right? We are not trying to compete with the home growers, we offer our products to people who appreciate great quality and service combined with the convenience of home delivery. If that is not for you, that's perfectly fine. 

As we mentioned numerous times in this thread, prices WILL come down. It is not our choice, it is based on the current conditions. It has only been 10 days, and you compare prices what? US market? Amsterdam? They have been ahead of us with a few years, so you have to understand it takes time for the market to regulate. 

If you can find a reliable and trustworthy source that offers great support, free delivery all over Thailand and a real entity that you can actually visit, for a price better than ours. Good on you. But we are in this for the long run. 

Cheers.
