Isn't it the case that in Canada the taxes were set at such a level (too high??) that it's still possible for illicit growers/suppliers to be viable/make money?

The problem in Thailand is the length of light and darkness ,almost the same year around12/12. The commercial strains not doing well outdoor in tropics,to many fungus and molds. I do belive they are talking about CBD cannabis,hardly any psychoactive effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The commercial strains not doing well outdoor in tropics,to many fungus and molds. I do belive they are talking about CBD cannabis,hardly any psychoactive effect. I see your point and would add that here in the north there is a little more like 11/13 hours difference and also a few of the modern sativa strains which are not so dense and retain more of the mould resistance qualities but with the higher THC levels would definitely be worth a try.My best season was when we had over 2 meters of rain by Feb when everything was heading up nicely and completely flattened the crop but I staked and bound as much of the broken limbs and it continued to rain till May and was our wettest season on record the plants bounced back and healed remarkably well,we did get some mouldy stuff when drying and curing and nearly tossed it but that stuff became the most requested and was similar to a lot of the Thai sticks around in the 70's and 80's.So I won't be deterred if allowed to grow legally.It will be interesting how they go about implementing the laws and how the hope to manage THC levels and how they will try to stop the Thais from going the free for all.

I know there is a black market and I've heard the potency maybe there or thereabouts, but the actual bud is not dense, not well trimmed, no curing and badly stored. I'd say in general, we are a long way from export quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem solved?? After saying that, and never really having been a user myself, the "war on drugs" has been an abject failure, I think a different approach is needed.

CLW Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Not enough details in this news article. As so often in Thailand, the devil is in the fine print. Also talked with some Thais familiar with this matter. They were talking about possible 1-2 years until the law comes into effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
