A cannabis landrace from a famous centre of ‘Thai stick’ production in northern Isan, the province of Nakhon Phanom.

Ganja is a traditional household herb in this region of Thailand, as well as a cash crop, as during the Thai stick heyday of the 1960s and early 1970s.

Typically, fields are sown between June and September, then harvested between December and early March.

Among households, a stand of ganja plants is often cultivated each year for home consumption, both as food such as a condiment for chicken soup and as ganja for smoking.

Expect plants to show classic, narrow-leafleted ‘Sativa’ morphology and substantial colas with strongly scented, resinous inflorescences and high potency.
