Chom Thong is a cannabis growing area in Chom Thong District, Chiang Mai Province, in the Northern Thailand growing region. Herbarium sheets show cannabis grown in a Hmong plantation on Doi Inthanon in 1984[1] and in a home garden in the Op Luang hills in 1993.[2]
Geography
The 1984 plant grew around Siriphum waterfall in Doi Inthanon National Park, in hill evergreen forest at 1,800 m.[1] The 1993 plant came from the Mae Sei ridge, in Mae Sei subdistrict of Op Luang National Park, near Ban Bah Gluay, at 1,450 m: a cleared area and settlement among mixed pine and evergreen hardwood forest on granite.[2]
Cultivation
Chamlong Phengklai collected the Doi Inthanon plant on 9 December 1984, for the Kyoto University Botanical Expedition to Thailand. The label reads "Exotic herb in Maeo plantation".[1] J. F. Maxwell collected the Op Luang plant on 21 August 1993. His label describes a branching herb 2 m tall in a home garden near Ban Bah Gluay, which it calls a Mong village, cultivated for spice and also smoked for its narcotic effect.[2]
