‘Sa’ is the name Lao folks usually use for ganja. The sound, including the tone, is the same as for ‘tea’.

From the garden of a Lao friend who has been collecting and testing seeds, the parent plants are from 2019 to 2021 accessions from Central and Southern Laos, including Savannahket (‘Lao Gold’), Bolikhamsai (‘Highland Lao #2’), Burmese, and the plants they already grow at home.

Lao and Thai ganja domesticates are typically 6 months from seed to harvest, some earlier plants leaning toward 5 months. Thai Sativa-type morphology, intense rich and musky aromas, impressive resin, euphoric highs.
