The heritage of Thai is South East Asian. It's a full sativa marijuana strain carrying anywhere from 14% to 24% THC and contains .1% CBD.

Outdoor yields 13oz per square meters while indoors growth yields 11oz per square ft. Best grown in dry and hot tropical climate.

Colombian Gold is a vintage strain whose popularity peaked in the 70s and again recently. THC levels in this strain reportedly test above 19%, so it's relatively potent.
