webfact Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Thai Tobacco Monopoly set to roll ganja spliffs! FILE photo Thai media has reported that the Thai Tobacco Monopoly could soon be making its own marijuana spliffs. TTM chief Daonoi Suthiniphaphan said that her organization was waiting for permission from the public health ministry regarding growing and potential uses of the drug. It is yet to be decided if the TTM will do the growing themselves or be involved in cooperatives with other farmers. If permission is granted then ganja will find its way into cigarettes. However, those people who hope to get high on TTM cigarettes may be disappointed. Daonoi said it was unlikely that ganja leaf would be rolled up in cigarettes. This would contain THC the cannabinoid that makes people high. More likely is that permission will be granted to use the ganja extract known as CBD oil that is not restricted in any way. Even so this will be great for the Thai tobacco industry, she said. Meanwhile Thai Rath reported that a seminar held in Chang Wattana featured a great deal of interest in the growing of ganja and the regulations surrounding production. They said that full quotas for producing the drug for medical use would soon be taken up.

CBD oil mixed with tobacco leafs is not a waste of time! Could kill the pain of cancer in the lungs. A big selling point to hook manly young Thai males looking to blow smoke. This will be great for the Thai tobacco industry. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre-rolls in my home (U.S. state: both medical and adult-use aka recreational) are $12 for 0.75g at the local smoke shop. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Juan B Tong Posted May 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2019 With 50 years experience I comment that smoking leaves is ok. Smoking stems and seeds gives me a headache. I'd buy leaf spliffs or lids from the Monopoly, heck I am buying from Somchai now. Primo designer buds are like frufru coffee from Starbucks, Tasty, pricy, but not essential. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post SiSePuede419 Posted May 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 2, 2019 (edited) "Not much THC in the leaves. Believe me , I've tried." Depends on the leaf. I've had leaf from wild ganja that was like smoking newspaper. I've smoked leaf from a Jewish Rasta grower in Big Sur California that was dynamite exploding in the head. And I had a friend who made hash oil out of *male* plants that was also great. So, it depends. ???? Edited May 2, 2019 by SiSePuede419 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a Thai girlfriend that used to sell noodles and said the leaves were good for improving the taste but no getting high. Unless heated, the thc is inactive, so eating doesnt have an effect unless well cooked, that is why the soup had little effect but cookies baked with leaves do, that and the cultivar, there are strains today with more thc in the leaf than in the old Thai buds. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the leaf debate, if it's from top plants like the ones we have in Canada then yeah, it's totally fine. But leaves from the subpar stuff Thai people call pot (lol, you can smoke ten grams of thai pot in a day and it won't get you as high as a tiny BC bud spliff...thai pot is ok but yeah, nothing like primo stuff from Canada or Amsterdam), then forget about it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making pot legal does not mean everyone will suddenly start smoking - it only means those who do smoke will not be treated like criminals, by the most ignorant, corrupt police force in the world. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
