How about selling 10 gram amounts for a higher price?

 

I am afraid we can't do that. They are packaged as 50gr bricks. ????

It seems to me that's a disservice to those that want to enjoy their ganja in moderation.

Here's my contribution

 

Alchemi (Prakanong)

I've only purchased four different strains here but it's always been good weed. If you need to grab some buds and don't know where to go - go here. The weed is all pretty much over 300b gm but if you can catch a promotion I would head straight here. Was a great 420 promo.

 

YourHighness (Rama9). This place has dozens of strains in all price ranges. Promos run occasionally. Buds range to 800b but the bulk are 250-600. Reasonably good flower is consistently available for 400-500. I've yet to chance the *organic*. Bought *outdoor* b250 some time back. One a hit, other a miss. Guy running this shop really nice and has let me pick my own buds. Promos unfortunately are rare but he does discount the weed as stock is reduced and ages.

 

Dr Green BKK (Asoke). I would characterize this as shop to get good value for reasonably decent weed. Locals, promos they can run 20% off promotion semi often making a great price on low end but if you're not buying at 800 than you're probably not buying at 5-600 either. I got some seedy but fairly stony bud for like 200-250 on a special promo recently. Very convenient Asoke.

 

I'm seeing prices come down in retail shops in Bangkok but the devil is in the weed details. I go for beer on lower Sukhumvhit and watch the prices in this tourist area in particular.

 

I've probably visited over 20 weed shops here but those are the ones I've bought from and been satisfied.

 

Even at 300gm it's a minefield. I have a feeling there's lots of dodgy weed out there now. Who wants to blow 1000b on a headache?

 

Which are your favorite retail shops in BKK?

 

*** I'm all for supporting Thai growers BUT they must support me as well. I'm not spending above b300 on any local weed, period end of story.

what if the weed was 305 baht but knocked your socks off ?

The weather is so unpredictable that all my plants are inside now.

On windowsills, last month too hot, this month too gusty.

Growing season is limited Nov-Feb IMHO.

Still managed to grow 6+ozs for under 100 pounds (4,000bht).

Which should last me a year.

If I run out I'll probably top up with brick at 4bht/gm.

last year we bought some 3 month old squirrels in June (lol) and let them grow wild outdoors. they had some rough times but they were big bushes by harvest in October. that's the natural light growth cycle in Thailand, although the climate and weather don't cooperate.

 

we grew under lights successfully in a spare bathroom, but huge overhead and maintenance for a few plants.

 

the prices in Thailand are cheap enough to buy instead of grow, so we probably won't grow this year. we've got about 500 seeds just in case the new govt makes unfavorable decisions ????

We haven't tried that particular product, so can't judge. But our products are carefully selected, procured from local licensed growers and we pay our taxes. In this case, we use a unique method to compress the weed, no glue or chemicals. Our brick is also made from a classic Sativa-dominant strain (Foi Thong), and all of that at only 30 baht a gram. Each to their own, but staring yourself blind at prices, might get you exactly there.

Good point, and there is a lot of confusion around this. Thai Stick in its classical term is used to describe a stick made from the landrace Thai-strain (or variations of it). Unfortunately it is close to impossible to find the original Thai-strain that was grown in Laos back in the 60s (or at least the same genetics). It might resurface, but we have not seen anything close to that as of yet. 

 

Now, this is the general consensus, but I am sure there are different variations and interpretations to the above answer. So a gentle disclaimer is in place.

There's no guarantee in any of it. In fact, I'm to the point that I'll only visit Alchemi.

 

Next shi++y weed buy I'm 100% back to scotch and vodka.

 

But the prices must come down, way down imo. One hit bud shouldn't be any more than 300b gram. Especially in Thailand. At 700b that's close to 20k an ounce. How much of that is just a bit better taste? Certainly not three times more stony.

Oh! Brick is ok again?   A new week a new opinion. Just last week you said

 

"Thai cannabis is rubbish, I only smoke exotic hybrids. 

 

Thai growers are pretty rubbish too, I don't want to smoke anything grown by the locals. (until they know what they're doing) "

Yes I have ordered from them for about 4 times ,the first kilo of green crack I got about 4 months ago was superb sticky stinky ,the last 2 orders one of green crack and then squirrel tail was dry but not terribly dry .They are a pleasure to deal with and have many many customers .I was going to contact them today as I've seen they have a new round of squirel tail that is supposed to be fresh.

Send a comment on there add and they will send you a line link .They only have brick weed green crack and squirrel tail ,on the line group they have mentioned the green crack is at the end of season and not as good as previous .I will be not be buying the green crack ,I will be  buying the smallest amount of squirel tail to test before or if I order a more substantial amount.

[Mr Meeseeks]

The main problem I have with brick weed is the chemicals. They will absolutely be using dangerous pesticides like paraquat and similar on those plants. I would not be touching it. 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Guys, you can post confused and laughing emoticons all you want, but I am a grower, and it is impossible to grow outdoors, where the brick weed is grown without some sort of pest control. 

 

Thai farmers use a lot of glyphosate on other crops which has been proven to cause cancers. 

 

Here is a study from the US about brick weed containing harmful chemicals. Paraquat was applicated to control the illicit grows in Mexico. Until recently, paraquat was widely used in crops in Thailand.
https://www.unodc.org/unodc/en/data-and-analysis/bulletin/bulletin_1978-01-01_4_page006.html

 

I can assure you the Thai stuff will not be organic, so I suggest be mindful of what you are consuming.

yea its a tough place to grow. outdoor is inhospitable, with weather mood swings and insects, and indoor is expensive, especially with recent electric rate hikes.

 

the brick being sold is mostly Thai strains, not the laced bricks from Laos we used to smoke. 10 years ago we had no idea what was in the brick lol. i think its a little better now, but its probably a good idea to see the grow the brick came from. there's some good clean brick out there. we might all be back to brick in a few years.

That is correct information. I remember it vividly from the early to late 70’s. It was also cured like Malawi Cob as well if you were fortunate. Sometimes, it was coated in kief (never opium as some have suggested). And yes, it was mainly from Laos, some came out of Cambodia but it all passed through Thailand. As a result, this is why there is no PURE, true landrace Thai genetics (I see a huge contentious argument heading my way! ????). Yes, I know, there is always the Obi-Wan Thai grower that has the “real deal”….. I am familiar with SE Asian landrace phenos, That is what they should be called. The very nature of 60 years of outdoor growing will lead to genetic drift through pollination. If you experience seeds you know what I’m talking about…….

 

So refreshing to have factual info coming out of dispensaries and seed banks. A rarity. Thank you.

Thailand is the fourth ranked pesticide consuming country, globally. Yes, any outdoor weed farming done here, especially at scale (like an actual business ????) - you can bet on it! Glyphosates are THE WORST!

Thank you for that. Yes, there have a been a lot of discussions about this, and individual memories can sometimes be, lets just say, subjective. ????

 

We were not around at this time, but we have spoken to those who were involved in this little nugget of history (such as yourself). So thank you for confirming what we have been told. ????
