Mr Meeseeks Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 As it has been mentioned many times on this forum, I thought this article would be of interest. Ask ten stoners about Thai Stick and you’re likely to get ten different answers, and not just because they’re stoners. The fame of Thai Stick is such that some forty years after it disappeared there’s still confusion about what it actually was. I’ve been told by various people that it was a strain, it was just a transport method, it was a kind of blunt and that it was just a marketing ploy. The answer to all of those is a little yes and a big NO. I first heard about the legendary Thai Stick when I was a kid in the late seventies, looking up to older delinquent kids who would talk about copping some Thai. Years later, I would buy something called Thai Stick in a Brooklyn park which turned out to be a baggy holding two bamboo skewers with weed tied to them. The dealer told me we would get super high, which we didn’t, because it wasn’t.

bobbin Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) Bought my first Thai Sticks in Bangkok... 1971 Coming from India, Pakistan and Afghanistan (when nobody not from there had ever heard of Afghanistan), and all the amazing "charas" there, I wasn't that impressed.. Cheap though.. Also possible to buy packets of "Marlboro" that had all the tobacco replaced with Thai weed. Cool.

Popular Post bendejo Posted July 8, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2022 Was staying near Hualumpong in 1975. A lady who did fortune telling on a mat on the sidewalk sold sticks. I shared a room with a Kiwi guy who showed me how to roll with a cardboard filter, and funnel-shaped, all new to me because where I was from the stuff was expensive so we rolled 'em thin. There were moments of paralysis and hours lost staring at the ceiling; these are not complaints. I had just come from India/South Asia, curry and dahl for months, so hitting the street stalls was a delight. 1 baht = US$ 0.05 My first Asian buzz was in Kandahar. Got there at night, horse & buggy driver got me some hash. Improvised a way to smoke it by breaking off a piece and sticking in the end of an unfiltered cigarette. Couldn't have done more than a half-gram but the effect was like LSD, which I was not prepared for. Managed to go off to dreamland, then at the crack of dawn Migs buzzed the town, so low you could see their rivets and the stone building shook. If I could go back in time I'd do it all again. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starky Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 (edited) Legend has it that the famous "Mullumbimby madness" was from a strain of Thai buddha that was grown in Australia. It's also the reason Aussies call their pot mull, and love to mull up lol. https://friendlyaussiebuds.com/australian-cannabis-education/mullumbimby-madness/#:~:text=call Mullum Madness.-,Down by Main Arm,Arm%2C just outside of Mullumbimby.
