Thai Stick

Thai refers to a cannabis variety that grows natively in Thailand and was brought to the U.S. in the 70s and 80s. This pure sativa landrace is sometimes called "Thai Sticks" because of the way its buds are traditionally dried and tied into long sticks. The term "Thai Stick" refers to a method of preparing cannabis buds by skewering them on bamboo sticks and binding them with fibers, which was a common way to export the strain during the 1960s and 1970s. This bud gets its name from its unique method of smoking it – typically you skewer the buds on long thin bamboo sticks. These nugs are tied to the sticks using stringy fibers pulled from the cannabis plant itself. After being secured, these nugs are often dipped in hash oil for added potency. Thai cannabis is a pure sativa landrace strain that originates from Thailand and has played a significant role in shaping modern cannabis culture due to its potent effects and distinct aroma. It has been used for centuries for traditional medicine, spiritual rituals, and recreational enjoyment by locals, and its popularity grew rapidly when American soldiers stationed in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War discovered its powerful effects. Thai cannabis is renowned for its pure landrace genetics. Unlike hybrid strains developed through selective breeding, landrace strains like Thai have evolved naturally in their native environment, adapting to local conditions. This gives the Thai strain a distinctive terpene and cannabinoid profile that is difficult to replicate elsewhere. Thai cannabis plants are characterized by their tall and lanky structure, a typical trait of sativa-dominant strains. The leaves are long and thin, with bright green coloration. The buds are fluffy, elongated, and covered with a moderate layer of trichomes. Despite their somewhat sparse appearance compared to modern hybrids, Thai buds are highly aromatic and potent.
