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.
