From there, they embark on a captivating journey to the enchanting landscapes of Chiang Mai, nestled in the picturesque mountains of northern Thailand.

These encounters offer a fascinating insight into the rich heritage and expertise of Thai cannabis cultivation.

[@RedFishBlueFish]

The info shared regarding there being lots of hermaphroditism in strains in the US is not wholly accurate any more. Legalization here has spread/increased strains that differ much more in heritage and genetics now, as opposed to even just 5 years ago. It is not correct that Herms are a big thing here now as they were in the past.

[@JACK_TheAllSeeingEye]

Arjan: My time managing The Dispensary in Vancouver left me bequethed with some original rare genetics from long time growers that came north to escape the Vietnam war conscription. ORIGINAL SEED FROM THE 70s and 80s. ...actual orig seed of Panama Red Columbian Gold/Red ...many others Rare landrace from Japan - most lemony/lavender thing ever ...more Contact me

[@assog5737]

First off great show. I've been enjoying them for many many years. Also I've been enjoying and growing cannabis for over 50 year's. But there is something that I don't understand, in this video. It seems like every plant that you looked at in this video, has seeded. Why ? Why are all these growers letting their plants seed up ? I don't get it. And then it looks like you all are smoking some of those seeded plants. And enjoying it. Is that true ?

[@D.Cooper420]

I'm from NZ and I'd love to show them around but no land races here sadly. Very good old-school Asian and South American genetics still about though, not to mention all the expected American and Dutch cultivars too and a deep history of Pacific cannabis culture and a perfect climate for growing trees outdoors.

That Lady alone has cultivated them for decades. I would call that a quite stable race.

At minute 20.00 I think there is a potential misunderstanding about the new law because it makes seems that is something already active. Actually the answer was referred to the future possible proposal of a law. At the moment the growing licence is at 3.000 baht wich is fair. To increase this at 50.000 is a plan of a future law. ##-We ask to the government to keep things as they're and dont make more difficult for the farmers

He was also asking questions about their business’s history that would have been considered disrespectful.

This is a great series and I'm glad you are back releasing videos. If you want to obtain some good landrace seeds in Costa Rica I can help. I was there for 9 years and I still have friends there. You need some Mango Rosa seeds, it's a very nice sativa from around the border with Panama. I used to live there. That strain would be amazing if someone grew it until it's mature and dried and cured it right. The stuff I tried was seeded and dry and could have been much better, yet it was very nice.
