I never remember cannabis being so harsh to smoke or have such a harsh aftertaste.

Went it first became legal I bought three grams from different vendors.  They all tasted - bad.  Very strong with a very nasty aftertaste.  Like if I smoked, I wanted to immediately brush my teeth to get the acrid taste out of my month.

Someone I talked with said that perhaps the first stuff on the market was originally illegal and had be stored in diesel tank for smuggling.
I would not doubt it.  Pretty much all of it tasted - chemical.  Bought some cheaper brick, but it's the same.  Very harsh.

I'm like 70 years old and I've been around in the marijuana scene in the US.  I never remember such nasty tasting pot.

I haven't bought for the last 3 months.  Maybe the new crops are different.  I'd like to buy some that will give you a buzz without tasting like you're smoking firewood. 

I have some but I don't smoke it because it tastes just nasty.  This goes for everything I've bought since legalization.

Can you describe what it is that you've purchased and smoked?

 

Where did you buy it, what was it called, how much did you pay?

 

You bought on-line? In a dispensary?

 

Does it have any smell BEFORE you burn it?

 

Can you share some photos?

 

Did you gett a 'buzz' from any of this weed?

 

What did you smoke/like in the U.S.?

 

 

I've purchased from ~ 15 or so sources, have yet to find anything like you describe.

 

Maybe I've been lucky, where you've been unlucky?

 

Maybe visit a dispensary, where you can examine the product up close?

the only way you will get the taste you are after is grow your own with TLC

Properly dried, cured and stored weed will not taste rough. Also, weed that's not been sprayed with anything. Most Thai weed is sprayed with god knows what because of the pest control (for soil growers).

Doing it properly cost money, and most mass scale growers in Thailand are looking for ways to cut cost so they can sell it for under 100 thb/g because people are tight.

 

Before I started growing I had no idea how actually terrible growers are. Most people do not care about quality, they just do it for the money.

Growers, especially those that produce on a large scale, cut corners, spray with chemicals, don't dry properly, don't cure or even trim properly, they harvest too early...etc. Of course, not everybody is like that, but if it's cheap stuff, you can bet that it's been sprayed, not handled properly or treated properly and you will get bad quality smoke that tastes rough.

 

I'm a grower for few years now, and I do hydroponics only... I'm actually horrified to think what garbage I smoked before I started growing myself.

I've been worried that this is the case from the local farmers. With it being the wild west they're just trying to push out as much products as possible to cash in for now.

 

Unfortunately I had to go w/them to get our shop going. It's waaaay overpriced for wholesale and I'm only going off of what my team on the ground says for quality (not all Thais). 

 

The plan is to move over in the spring to start doing high quality, micro-batch, 4-lighters to bring some real quality to the scene. Unfortunately that's about 7 more months before being ready to harvest.
