What he's referring to is a process called "passa-water" its a wash. They used left over water from cooking the morphine/heroin from the raw opium. It would be soaked then re-dried to absorb the opiate alkaloids. I read about it in Dj Short's book Cultivating Exceptional Cannabis. Quite a bit of info about the thai and other landrace strains in the book also.
Opiates are great and then you find out they suck. Sad that it ruins lives like it does. I've had my run and I must say I'm glad to be alive and have that shit behind me.
hahah yes fun at first....then shit and death....good for you to kick it..
That's great that you've been able to do that. I always thought that a clinic would be a good idea. Education and replacement therapy with Mj.
wrong again
Opiates and alcohol share the same chemical in the brain that will cause the "need" for more when activated! Activation comes from a single use....Addiction is faster in opiates and the build up of that chemical can occur in as little as 3 uses - in the case of Heroin.....Not a lot long for misused Oxy. I had a friend who was addicted. Heroin, asked him one day what it's "like". His answer was "Do it once, you want it! Do it twice, you need it" Not the answer I was looking for but, it was enough to KILL the idea of giving it a "try"!
good for you a new paradigm.
thai is my favorite all time strain i think . Thats why i like a super strong trainwreck. Takes me back. lol. and i can use the energy . Good luck on your journey .
First off, I'm not "wrong again" since I haven't been wrong throughout this entire discussion. Everything I have cited is either from my own, direct experience or from your own direct quotes. You are the one who has been wrong since your initial claim of being the inventor of the Thai stick.
I agree.
Thai sticks as I have described them are 100% legit. I know this from my own, personal experience with them.
Generally, when Thai sticks are referenced, people realize there is more to them than buds wrapped around a stick just for the fuck of it. It wasn't for looks or for transporting them. They were wrapped around sticks so as to facilitate dipping/drying.
Thai sticks don't smell like weed. They have a sickly sweet, weird, funky smell to them - a la the opium tea. I can't really describe the smell, but once you smell that smell, you'll never forget it. For all intents and purposes, the weed, itself, is just a substrate for the opium.
When people talk about Thai stick, in America, it is the opiated variety they reference -because that is the quality that sets them apart from anything else in the weed-related world....for one, obvious reason.
Having said that....I have seen things being sold in dispensaries -basically buds wrapped around a stick, rolled in hash oil and wrapped with a red string...They were calling those Thai sticks, too. I assume the hash oil treatment was an attempt to reference the technique of "dipping" the wrapped weed in something...obviously opium-dipped sticks are illegal...so someone got the bright idea for a way to make a "pretend" version for the legal market. I suppose there's nothing to stop someone from misusing a name.
Thus, no one will ever see real Thai stick in the legal marijuana market. So beware the snake oil salesmen and their wild claims.
*If someone walks into a church and announces that he can answer any and all questions about Christianity -because he is Jesus Christ, then please be skeptical of anything he says after that -no matter what it is...at least until he raises someone up from the dead!
