Doi Suthep–Pui is a cannabis growing area on the mountains of Doi Suthep and Doi Pui, west of the city of Chiang Mai in Chiang Mai Province, in the Northern Thailand growing region. A cannabis cultivar called DP was grown as a landrace at Doi Pui, at 1,685 m,[1] and Hmong craftswomen of Doi Pui village plant and harvest hemp for their cloth.[2]
Geography
The massif rises behind the city of Chiang Mai. Doi Pui village is a Hmong village; it was declared a Royal Project village in 1969 after a visit by King Rama IX.[2] A herbarium sheet of 1988 comes from the Sisangwan valley on the south-west side of Doi Suthep, at 850 m, in an open field in primary evergreen forest.[3]
Cultivation
The Doi Suthep plant of November 1988 was an erect, branching herb up to 2 m tall; the label notes that it was "cultivated for smoking the leaves, narcotic".[3] Seed of the DP cultivar, grown at Doi Pui, was one of the stocks planted in the 2009 trial at the Pang Da Royal Agricultural Station in Samoeng.[1]
At Doi Pui, making the village's indigo-dyed hemp batik cloth includes planting and harvesting hemp, preparing the fibre, weaving, dyeing and embroidery. When researchers surveyed 82 artisans in June 2020, fewer than one in ten carried out the whole process.[2]
