Well over the 21 pages there has been a great deal of discussion between several people over Green Crack - so please excuse this one person for thinking it was a contentious subject.

Perhaps you can stop spreading the nonsense that GC is reconstituted brick weed. The fact that some sellers are selling low quality goods, does not make it universal. As I said - The 'Green Crack' being sold everywhere now appears to be simply the Thai slang for reconstituted brickweed - they don't understand that "Green Crack" already exists as a hybrid strain with 17% THC https://www.leafly.com/strains/green-crack Before June this didn't seem to happen so much, as most of the serious weed farmers were professionals who had to work under the radar and knew their stuff. But now, with every farmer's lad suddenly a ganja grower, there's 30 million licences been issued to a lot of very confused Thai people who don't realise they're using all the wrong words.

On the OG kush front, I ordered from another vendor and it seems very weak. It makes you wonder if many of the names are just made up to get clicks and orders. This is one of the main problems with the Thai people - they don't relate to or understand the world outside and so don't realise that the pet Thai names they make up are already in use. The 'Green Crack' being sold everywhere now appears to be simply the Thai slang for reconstituted brickweed - they don't understand that "Green Crack" already exists as a hybrid strain with 17% THC https://www.leafly.com/strains/green-crack Another example . . . one of the Thai guys I know here tried to sell me some "skunk". It was ordinary brickweed. We spent a while talking about the fact that this wasn't skunk until I realised he was using the word 'skunk' as an alternative slang word for ganja. I just bought some 'Silver Haze' - it's totally NOT Silver Haze (at 75B a Gm) but the same thing again - I don't think they are scamming - they just don't understand farang names and conventions. Before June this didn't seem to happen so much, as most of the serious weed farmers were professionals who had to work under the radar and knew their stuff. But now, with every farmer's lad suddenly a ganja grower, there's 30 million licences been issued to a lot of very confused Thai people who don't realise they're using all the wrong words. This is the reason that it seems best to find a seller/product which is good/works and stick to it until things settle down and standardise a bit. Thank God for this thread!

I've been glad to discover, thanks to this forum, that basically "Green Crack" is a coverall-name for brick that's been soaked, picked apart. and resold. But I've just come across this. From the photos it's definitely not been compressed previously. It may perhaps be the original stuff before it gets pressed into blocks? - who knows. The Thais (and us!) are still confused by all the newness here and there's some uncertainty about how to use these English names (I've seen stuff advertised as "skunk" which was Green Crack, which is brickweed!). But the stuff here, advertised as "Green Crack", looks really fresh, and at 10 baht/Gm certainly fits into the spirit of this thread.

Gotta chuckle. In a year's time, this thread will long since have faded out - somebody will stumble across it by accident and simply not believe the crazy high prices that weed was selling for back in 2022!

Thanks already!

While you are at it, please send them my way too. (Done soooo many searches on FB and only come up with 2 sellers . . . )

While you are at it, please send them my way too. (Done soooo many searches on FB and only come up with 2 sellers . . . ) - OH! Sorry if I replied to the wrong post!

That looks delicious. (Gorilla Glue) Would you mind sending me a PM with the fellas link and details please? TIA

ps - I ought to say a huge THANKS for all the contributions here, all pointers, tips and info - it's invaluable and has helped me greatly. Finally I'm able to buy affordable quality gear . . . more usefully, I'm able to buy stuff which is not top-notch and make comparisons. Living on Samui is strange in this respect - pre-July, 90% of what was going around was elderly brick at ridiculous prices - bud (unknown strain and content) didn't seem to appear until last year and was touted at up to 1,000B a gram. Now that it's buyable online your help and info here has been a gem. Thanks again. (lopsided grin emoji)

For many years the Thai ruling classes has had a fatherly but condescending attitude towards its people, treating them as if they were children . . . unable to control their impulses, particularly when it comes to alcohol. The alcohol bans on religious days and at election times give the idea that, given half a chance and a day off work, Thai men will get falling-over drunk. So, suddenly opening the floodgates on cannabis makes a mockery of everything - it's utterly illogical. Either their citizens are trustworthy and can have all the silly alcohol bans lifted PLUS have free use of the happy weed (etc etc) , or they're not. Looks to me that child-like thoughtless behaviour is more evident in the spontaneous and irrational decisions that the government keeps making . . . it's bewildering.

" to produce a bunch of tat . . . . " YES! Same style exactly as the Tourist Authority of Thailand. I thought I recognised the purple prose.

Personally I'm a lot more worried about having stoned buffaloes wandering across the highways, chickens flying into trees to lay eggs, and soi dogs smiling sleepily instead of chasing motorbikes - whatever next!

Yep - I've come to this conclusion myself, after wondering for months why the Thai economy is weakening yet I'm still getting the same (or worse!) Sterling EX rate. All economies are shaky now, what with the effects of Covid and the Ukraine situation, so now everything hinges around which economy is comparatively more fugged, not which one is performing better!

Unfortunately you have overlooked one important element - the recipient of the fax can only receive it via a computer running Gmail . . . and if they are running the same fax software. Seeing that faxes are required for mainly legal work, I doubt very much if this "not-a-fax" alternative will be acceptable, as it is essentially email in disguise. Have you tried it by sending legal documents?

"This serves to reinforce some of my prior posts about ganga's potential to create mental problems. Sure, if you are unstable, bent, really messed up in the head, or have some sort of major mental health issues, ganga can put you over the top, just like many powerful drugs can. But, what percent of folks who get high are this abnormal and twisted in the head? " I would guess about the same percentage who believe in ghosts and spirits and worship trees . . . ????

Please explain in what way are cannabis buds from Issan different from your cannabis buds from Bangkok?

At the end of the day, nothing will have changed but the price. I can buy oil, resin and bud locally (not to mention that dreadful compressed dog's breakfast stuff). With the entire nation farming herb, how can there be any policing or control over bud sales and use - let alone oil production?. Current prices will drop hugely in the next half-year. PREDICTION: this will end up like "employment, businesses and taxation"., The Thai govt can't control their own people and get them to declare their earnings and pay income tax, so they nail the farangs to the wall instead. The whole cannabis-cultivation thing will go the same way . . . impossible to keep track of millions of Thais, but heaven help any farangs who are reckless enough to think they can join in; they'll be hung out to dry.

So now Thailand is the bud hub of the galaxy. BUD-HUB, BUD-HUB, BUDHUB BUDHUB BUDHUB BUD-DUBBLY DOOOOOOO . . . . Say it out loud two or three times . . . It's either another FIRST for astonishing Thailand or I'm hearing pink panthers. Prolly caused by that ganja leaf that I overdosed on.

Chuckle - more to the point, I wonder how long it'll be before granny with her scooter and sidecar starts puttering around the backstreets going "TOOT TOOT"!

"For example, a single pensioner who retired in late 1982 after having made the full contributions would be getting £32.85 a week, or £1,708 a year, if their pension were frozen then. If they had stayed in Britain, they would now be getting £141.85 a week, or £7,376 a year." Are there really so many 105-year-old pensioners staggering about?

Read more carefully - this is the stats for Koh Samui. Source of stats is clearly stated

Absolute rubbish. Get off your sofa and come and live in Thailand. The "dead on the roads" maxim is well documented online and is a part of everyone's lives . . . if you live here, in Thailand, that is.

Yes, that law came into play in 2005. On Koh Samui there used to be one fatal accident every 2 or 3 days. Back in the early 2000s this was reported every month in the local farang Community newspaper, using figures obtained from the local government hospital. But then they changed the method of "recording" road deaths and overnight the figures dropped down to 2 or 3 deaths a month. (It's also worth noting that the figures themselves are suspect - according to official statements there has been no change at all in the number of roads deaths since 2005 - the same every month at between 1 and 3. However the number of vehicles of all kinds has more than doubled over the las 17 years.) (Chart taken from Facebook Group Roads of Koh Samui.)
