‘Sa’ (‘sah’) is the name most often used in Lao communities for ‘ganja‘. The sound, including the tone, is the same as for ‘tea’.

From the garden of a Lao friend who collects and tests seeds, the parent plants were from 2019 to 2022 accessions from Central and Southern Laos, including Savannahket (‘Lao Gold’), Bolikhamsai (‘Highland Lao #2’), Burmese, and the Lao plants they already grow at home.

Lao and Thai cannabis landraces are typically 6-month crops from seed to harvest, some earlier plants leaning toward 5 months.

Thai Sativa-type morphology, intense rich and musky aromas, impressive resin, and unique euphoric highs.
