Fakki or fanki is the name recorded in the Punjab, Berar and Bombay in the 1890s for ganja or bhang pounded with spices into a paste and swallowed as a bolus. The Indian Hemp Drugs Commission called it the simplest way of eating the drugs. The paste was sometimes mixed with molasses or gur, and a mass might be made and kept for use day by day.

The habitual bhang drinker ate the paste when he had difficulty preparing his drink, and on a journey. It was eaten more in the cold weather than the hot, and the poor used it "not uncommonly".

In Bijapur the deputy collector described fakki in 1893 as a powder. Bhang powder was washed, parched lightly in a frying pan with a very little ghee, ground fine and mixed with poppy seeds and sugar. He wrote that it was "used chiefly by Mahomedans and other people who are given up to the vice". read more →

Comparison of self-pollination and intercrossing for feminized seed production in Thai Hang Kra Rok cannabis (Cannabis sativa L.) landrace

Compares selfing with intercrossing for producing feminized seed from two Thai landrace accessions of Hang Kra Rok cannabis, one from Bangkok and one from Sakon Nakhon. Female cuttings were treated with colloidal silver to induce male flowers, and the progeny were grown in a plant factory with artificial lighting. Both selfed lines and the Sakon Nakhon by Bangkok cross gave 100% female plants, while the reciprocal cross produced one hermaphrodite (5.6%). Dry inflorescence weight did not differ between treatments. The Bangkok selfed line had the highest THC content at 6.58%. The plants were grown under artificial light, so the chemistry is not field chemistry.
