The Dutch botanist Georgius Rumphius, stationed on Ambon in the 1670s and 1680s, wrote a detailed description of cannabis in the Indonesian archipelago. In a study published in 1975 the ethnobotanist Marie Alexandrine Martin found it grown a few plants at a time around houses across the region and sold freely in the markets of Cambodia and Laos, where the plant was also cooked into soup. Early in the 20th century hemp was grown for fibre on the high plateaus of Laos and Tonkin, a crop the colonial agronomists Charles Crévost and Charles Lemarié attributed to the Hmong, who brought it from China.
From the late 1960s into the 1980s Northeastern Thailand held Thailand's main cannabis fields, and its seedless flower, tied on bamboo slivers, was exported as Thai stick. In June 2022 Thailand removed the cannabis plant from its list of narcotics. Many of the accessions documented here come from Thailand, among them the lines of the Phu Phan range, and from Laos.
