Re: Yes, Thailand, you will be able to smoke potent weed at home
The problem I'm seeing in Thailand now is that a large amount of marijuana in the dispensaries/coffeeshops is PGR weed
That means they're using Plant Growth Regulator chemicals when growing their crops which can possibly cause cancer and injects synthetic hormones into the plant. The reason they use PGRs when growing marijuana is to make it look visually appealing and a bigger yield. You go into the dispensary, look at the bud under the microscope and light and it looks amazing, but it only looks amazing re: THC crystals, it's just smoke and mirrors. It's unscrupulous.
I've been consuming THC for only a mere quarter of a century, so I only know a little bit, but what I do know is Thai weed is 50% shit at best. The amount I've consumed today, I should be comatose, but I'm far from it. The edibles are also not what they've written on the label. If it says 100mg, it's definitely 50mg

The flavour and high is lacking, severely. I'm not saying the whole of Thailand is like this, but if you're a serious cannabis consumer or tourist, then I suggest you do due diligence and do some homework; find out the more reputable dispensaries online and educate yourself on the difference between the shitty, weak PGR marijuana they sell a lot of in Thailand and regular, stronger, tastier marijuana that can be foundPGR cannabis has harder, denser, and heavier buds.
PGR cannabis leaves contain fewer crystals than natural cannabis leaves.
PGR cannabis may feel wet or spongey, while natural cannabis has a drier texture

It's also horrendously overpriced
There's $40 grams of import

Re: Yes, Thailand, you will be able to smoke potent weed at home
Good info, dispensaries (very overpriced, but what would you expect given the cost of rent?) are for Tourists, (there are only 2 reasonably priced ones in Phuket, both near the market in phuket town) no expat living here or thai buys at one, they all buy online
or grow their own
Note, not all nice looking buds are grown with PGR, just seems that way. Look at some videos/pics out there and see how the buds look
As to eatables here, i'd never trust one as to % of thc in them

It's just dudes adding paclobutrazol or something similar when watering their plants that can be bought from lazada or the local nursery probablyUsername Taken wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 3:52 amAs expected, I suppose. Big Pharma interfering with what should be a natural product.

Re: Yes, Thailand, you will be able to smoke potent weed at home
I've seen and know enough to know those tiny, denser, compact buds are grown with some kind of PGR, be it Chlormequat Chloride, Daminozide, or the most common I've personally seen; Paclobutazolphuketrichard wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 7:15 am

A couple of long-time growers and breeders I know from other countries agree with me too from the evidence they've seen
Start wandering in those dispensaries and you'll notice how a fair few of their selection of buds look like what I posted above
Like I said, not all of these places sell PGR weed, and good stuff is available

Re: Yes, Thailand, you will be able to smoke potent weed at home
Good points. Buds that present well but can't deliver shouldn't demand such a premium.
All those sexy terpenes and crystals are nice but are no substitute for performance and reliability. It doesn't have to be one or the other.
There are usually some jars of "outdoor" buds around, so I like to poke around for those hoping for more natural flower. It's a treasure hunt.
For edibles, I've had better luck at non-dispensary places like bakeries and coffee shops that I wouldn't have expected.

Re: Yes, Thailand, you will be able to smoke potent weed at home
Just asked a farang who runs or owns a dispensary here
You also know it's not good weed when it has hardly any smell

The first synthesis of paclobutrazol was disclosed in patents filed by an ICI group working at Jealott's Hill.Captain Bonez wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 7:43 amIt's just dudes adding paclobutrazol or something similar when watering their plants that can be bought from lazada or the local nursery probablyUsername Taken wrote: ↑Wed Apr 17, 2024 3:52 amAs expected, I suppose.

Regardless of that, I'm sure any connoisseur would much prefer to grow their own from their own seed supply rather than any adulterated, government approved stuff.
