It's actually not difficult to disprove the "urban legend" that Thai Sticks were "dipped" in opium.. I'll explain..
There is now a "nouveux cannabis" product called Pop Rocks. These are dense (must be to survive the process) buds that have weed/hash oil applied. This process almost certainly is done by hand. The oil must be warmed beforehand for ease of application. The buds are now very sticky and will stick to their neighbor. This problem is solved by rolling them in kief cannabis "dust" after allowing for some drying time..
Have you ever seen opium? It has the consistency of thick axle grease. Even warmed it's going to rip the heck out of the buds, destroying their aesthetic appeal. You edited your post to say "some" were apparently treated this way. I never saw any...
I think it would be better to delete any reference to this.. not least because conflating cannabis with opium does none of us any good.. Shades of the old (also false) "gateway" drug argument.

I first came to LOS in 2003 and no Yabba in the village - no canabis in the village , the thing that sent people over the edge was loakoaw ( forgive spelling). So whether the war on drugs was a success or not,make you own minds up but in my mind people were less likely to dabble due to severe cosequences. As for some numbers put up here of only 76 deaths in 2 mass killings fair enough but in and around our isaan village alone there have been more than 20 yabba related deaths in the last 10 years but they just dont make the news / Thai visa . com etc. I suggest before jumping on the bandwagon and slagging off plans you might formulate a solution yourself. Most foreigners on here just love to troll esp when the overwhelming populations chosen political party says anything .Yabba is a plague in the villages and towns of Isaan and someting needs to be done what I do not know maybe find the suppliers and cut the head off the snake.
So an average of 2 yaba-related deaths per year. But what does related mean?
I don't have statistics but yaba per se is not a killer..
"cutting the head off the snake" does not work.. hasn't worked over the last 70 years.. Too much money involved. The next "head" is waiting in the wings..
What will work? General Paiboon, on returning from a closed door meeting in New York at the UN, said the War was unwinnable. That was the consensus view at that meeting. He said it was time for society to learn how to live with "drugs".
He went on to say that he favored legalization of methamphetamine. Why? Because present laws do not allow use by qualified Medical Doctors. That is important why? Because to date, the only successful treatment involves slowly decreasing the meth dosage until the user is able to stop using with the least discomfort and the biggest chance of success. This is not possible under current law.

Again to clarify...
It's possible to disagree with me without implying that I don't know what I'm talking about.

We've never seen so many experts as in this business, so we'll just leave it to that. This would probably be a discussion better suited in a forum for growers. ????
I'm surprised.. I know people who know you.

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.
Sorry, I beg to differ, speaking as someone who has the experience to make the comment I did...
Your low estimate is more than sufficient.
To clarify, I'm talking about the time elapsed after the dried buds have been clipped from the stems.
Curious why you didn't react to my comment about a golden colour, because some Thai strains do become quite a beautiful gold. Takes a while.

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.

???? could try this
You sign into Youtube with a Google account because it's a google product, not Microsoft. You may have used a Microsoft Account address to sign in to Google, but that is only because (like Microsoft) Google lets you use any email address you want to create a Google account. It is still a Google Account.
To change to another Google account, go into Youtube.com, at top right corner click on your account icon, then Manage Google Account, then in the Google Account click the same icon and this time Sign out.
Now click Use another account and sign in with the MS email address you want to use instead. It should still be available as it only goes away if you close it.Thank you.. I'll give it a try.
I don't know what's going on in the background, but I just clicked in the link in the thread. I clicked on several of them but only the clip mentioned turned up on my Windows sign-in screen..

Help!
I clicked on a couple of these video clips and now my Windows sign in page has the "Enemy at the Gates" video link..

This..
Thailand's new cannabis policy was first flag-polled by General Paiboon, then Thailand;s Minister of Justice in 2016. He was subsequently appointed to the Privy Council.
It has very high level support..

Nothing to do with payment, Thai people vote for their tribal leaders.
The Thaksin family is the head of the Laos speaking people in Thailand (40% of the Thai population).
If the Thaksin family holds that position, it's not because of ethnicity.. They are Chinese/Thai.
I'm going to expound a little on that theme in the new thread outlining Pheu Thai party's opportunistic new/old proposal to return to the status ante regarding drugs in Thailand.

Below is your response edited to reflect facts of the case...

Police autopsy found no drugs in his system. Of course the case is drug-related, but at the time of the massacre he was stone cold sober.

Weak..
I see calling your arguments dishonest stung you..you used the same word in your subsequent two posts.. including your most recent response to me..
Also a little slow on the uptake since you just repeated the assertion that got your post removed in the first place..
My suggestion to you is to quit while you are behind.. ????

You have an interesting, and somewhat infuriating, style of communication. I heartily suggest you review my first post in this thread. I did not curse Thaksin. I have acknowledged his success with the 30 Baht program. There is no cheer-leading of the present government, yet you attribute your projections to me with the use of "you" liberally sprinkled through your post. This is dishonest discourse....
Because it was recent, I clearly remember your first direct response to me in another thread. You stated my posts were worthless. Your post was removed, as was my gentle reply to you, because that's how it's done here. The offending post and all direct replies to it are excised.
And history will be the judge of who is on the wrong side of history, not you.

For sure innocent people were murdered during the drug war.
Nowhere near 2000 (let alone 2500 or 3000), but still, even one innocent is too many.
Thaksin was PM at the time and bears much responsibility for these crimes.
Ditto Tak Bai.
Who else should be in the dock alongside Thaksin?
This is the heart of the issue.
There is barely a metric where the unelected coup regimes are not considerably worse than the elected governments of Thailand yet the expat closet fascists never hold the usurpers to the same standard (how else could they publicly justify their abhorrent beliefs?).
Who called for the drug war to commence?
Who continued to praise the drug war as the death toll mounted?
Is there any doubt that high ranking Thai military personnel profit the most from drugs (and prostitution)?
Has getting rid of Thaksin (and democracy) made Thailand a better or worse place for the average Thai - is there more or less poverty and unnecessary death in the country now than there would be had democracy been preserved and nurtured?
Thaksin is not the problem, he never was, he represented the country moving towards a fully fledged free and open democratic society - this could not be tolerated by those who had been greedily robbing the people and land for centuries.
Only fools believe Thaksin is/was the problem, whether it be the drug war, government corruption, censorship, widespread extreme inequality and an injudicious judiciary.
Ah,,So now you are willing to admit that innocents died in a flurry of extra-judicial killings.. We are just quibbling over the body count...
And you conveniently gloss over the fact that many have recognized and applauded his revolutionary 30 baht medical program, thereby giving you license to call everyone who has a different opinion "expat closet fascists"
Over the top much? I detect a whiff of hysteria..
And by the way, were you living in Thailand at the time of these events?
I was.

I saw a projected impact only a few days back...
Northern latitude countries, Russia, Canada, USA, much of Europe.. 95% casualties.. from starvation due to impact on ability to grow food crops.
Equatorial countries, Thailand ,Malaysia mentioned specifically.. 40-50% casualties.. easier to still grow food crops..
So Thailand is an excellent place to be, relatively speaking..

Spelling is a little shaky, given you must have seen both surnames often, but your point is correct.. He was basically the man who pushed through the crime bill that subsequently saw America's prison population explode.
It would be only fitting if he attempted to repair the damage his hard-line approach inflicted on America.

That surprises me actually.
Is it the way of this particular drug that ones mental state is impacted even when it has not recently been taken. Like a heroin addict will thieve and lie to get some more?
Is it the way of any drug that it continues to have an effect even when it's not being taken?
Read that sentence again, slowly, and you will have your answer..
For pedants, I suppose poison might qualify if it's a slow-acting poison.

Serious question do you live here? I was in a government hospital tuther week for 5 days. I was in a ward where a man was on a ventilator and he was basically dead. My wife told me the doctor wanted his wife to take him home but she refused as she didn't want him to die at home. The doctor had no choice but to keep him in.
Serious answer... 20+ years.
The rest of your post does not refute my reply. The hospital wanted rid of him.
A man basically dead but still occupying a bed and a ventilator is using valuable resources that could be better allocated.
So where were you living until 2019?
