Approaching cannabis boom bust cycle in Thailand?

I don't blog much do i. I guess it's my laziness or something. Baggage too. Seems so mirkish.

Right now, in July 2023, in Thailand, you can find little dope stalls everywhere and bigger shops never very far.

The prices are very high. Compared to the Aotearoa black market. About $680 to $965 per ounce in NZD.

I had reported this in a FB post.

I discovered that the reason all the dope here is very expensive is that the business minded Thais, who don't for a one of them overlap with the old school apt growers, have to import their grass - and they do it on line. Mostly from the USA.

The old hippy Thais who actually spent their lives learning how to quietly grow and crop good weed making such an easy life just selling to a small but steadily growing local market.

Right now, anyone who can grow good weed and make it available on line can make a living here. Or a fortune.

But they need to know and have a trusting relationship with farmers. Or be married to a Thai who owns at least a little land.

Thais are good learners and farming is in their blood.

Something to ponder.

Tabhair Dom Do Lámh in D on the tenor banjo - with words

 No. Not the original words. Sorry. My own made up words for being able to sing it - hence the key change to D which is the closest easy key i could manage.

Vid - just a working export so i can practice my singing for a while

Here's what i started with along with my memory and going back to listen to some old bands.

I'm sure people have done it way better.

Jimmy Rodger's recordings with ukulele

Dear Old Sunny South by the Sea (1928)


Treasure's untold (1928)

My late brother Allan Stephen Hobbs (1956-1998) sang this song. He sang it well. Better than i can or ever could. I neglected my little brother. He should have been a star but instead he fell into hard times that killed him. While the world rushed by.




The Brakeman's Blues (1928) - can't find a copy where i can hear the ukulele)


Whisper your mother's name (1929)

Cause for Palestine - theft and murder r1

An updated version, with words and chords






Jewish Scholar Norman Finkelstein Says ‘Israel Is A Nation Of Murderers’ Loved By The Far Right

      Dm               Am
You hearken to a call from God
         C                           G
that's sworn to by some lying sod
     Dm              Am
it's just another big con job
         C           G             Dm
that's built on theft and murder

why can't you see it's genocide
of anyone who you decide's
essential to God's great design
all built on theft and murder

the chosen people so they say
will show us how and light the way
but i see bloodshed every day
that looks like theft and murder

So join the cause of Palestine
don't wait until there's no more time
your heartless end of times design
is simply theft and murder

No use cryin, no use tryin the telephone

In the afternoon i'm workin all alone
In the afternoon i'm working all alone
no use cryin, no use tryin the telephone

I've been waitin, i've been waitin a long long time
I've been waitin, honey i've been waitin a long long time
since you went away i've been out of my mind

in the evenin when the sun looks good goin down
in the evenin sugar when the sun looks good goin down
look for you baby but you're nowhere to be found

I've been waitin, I've been waitin for you to come home
I've been waitin, i've been waitin for you to come home
no use cryin, no use tryin the telephone

in the mornin when i reach for you in bed
in the mornin honey when i reach for you in bed
it's not you honey pie it's somebody else instead

here's a q n d - hope to improve on it

words are kinda flexible - kinda make them upish as i go along though it's gravitating to a regular set now

Join the cause for Palestine

A new song. A first draft and a rushed recording.


       Dm               Am
You hearken to a call from God
         C                           G
that's sworn to by some lying sod
     Dm              Am
it's just another big con job
         C           G             Dm
that's built on theft and murder

why can't you see it's genocide
of anyone who you decide's
essential to God's plan divine
all built on theft and murder

the chosen people so they say
will show us how and light the way
but i see bloodshed every day
that looks like theft and murder

So join the cause of Palestine
don't wait until there's no more time
your heartless end of times design
is simply theft and murder
