Cooking ‘Green’ Curry with Thailand’s Ganja Godfather

In the 2nd episode of Unbelievable Edibles, Vanessa Lavorato meets Thailand's "Dad of Marijuana," Ko Dam, a.k.a. Mr. KD.

From using marijuana roots for medicinal functions to advocating for the legalization of weed in Thailand, KD has actually had a significant influence on the adoption of weed in the country. We visit him in Ko Tao, an island in the Gulf of Thailand, to cook a home-grown weed instilled meal, consisting of jackfruit curry and mung bean pudding, and see a few of the ways he makes complete usage of his cannabis plants.

  3. Bless her for staying awake & coherent long enough to complete this documentary ❤👀✊🏽🤯

    1. She’s smoking traditional Thai Landrace genetics, of course she’s not falling asleep lol. It’s like the exact opposite of sleepy, if you’re sensitive it’ll give you pretty bad insomnia

    2. ​@vickydemta8546observa su rostro y sus gestos para que entiendas que si está drogada .

  4. My mom told me stories of how my grandmother would put the leaf in soups and stews and watched my grandfather and his friends laugh all night ❤❤

  5. I dreamed of going to Thailand. I also dream of Thai curry and sticky rice. But going to Thailand, eating this curry and smoking weed? That’s just life in heaven

    1. Different people have different recipes, and some add cannabis leaves to enhance the sweetness and add a complex flavor to their dishes.

    1. Hey munchies i would love to work with you be part of your crew

    2. This is my favorite series y’all have done! Feels like old-school vice. Rock on, give us more munchies in the land of smiles!

  6. He’s living the dream, good food, good herb, surrounded by friends and family.

    1. ​@sleepydan5495 In this instance I strongly suspect hate equals control. Breed envy in people to control people. A sadly effective part of divide and rule. Less bs jobs, more good weed (well, a guy can dream..)

  7. I was born and raised in Thailand and I never knew about this until now. I love everything about this video, the vibes, the hospitality, the people and ofc our weed. I would LOVE to visit this paradise. God bless loong (uncle in Thai), he’s truly inspirational.

    1. Hi from 🇮🇩, is it legal or ilegal to Harvest Canna is there? Here its 100% illegal

    2. สวัสดีฉันเป็นคนไทยที่นี่มันถูกกฎหมายใด้ไม่นานแต่ก็ยังมีกฎหมายควบคุมการใช้ซื้อขายและกฎหมายเยาชน​@terasrumahdiy5184

    1. Damnn how do they smoke those massive blunts without even passing and still continue a conversation

  8. I’m not a marijuana smoker but according to my studies & observation it is much better than smoking tobacco. I have no idea why our governments don’t legalize and normalise the use of cannabis. Trust me, it’s better to hang out with people high on weed rather than those on alcohol.

    1. Tobacco is not as dangerous as it’s made out to be. It’s the additives in modern cigarettes that is deadly.

    2. Are you sure ? Is quite worst than tobacco ! It is burning and destroying your brain cells while it is fucks your psychology and mental health ! Be serious and do not being so naive !

    3. Weed is all natural and won’t cause cancer tobacco companies could learn a thing or two

  9. This is how we should all be living. Its this simple. What a beautiful home and location too. I love the energy of this video. 🐭❤

  10. danggg the energy of this content made me cry in laugh, we literally enjoy this.

  11. Who is that woman? She’s so charming and lovely and warm and shows so much passion for food and cultural inclusion. thumbs up.

  12. I have to admit when you do find good people in any country … they make yyou fall in love with their culture. Thailand is one of those countries. love the food and the people.

    1. ฉันเป็นคนไทย คนไทยจะมองพวกสูบกัญชาเป็นพวกขี้ยา เเน่นอน มันทำให้รสชาติอาหารอร่อยขึ้น เเต่มันดูไม่ดีเเละไม่ใครชอบ มันเเค่ยาเสพติด

  13. Eating food, “This is going to knock me out”. Proceeds to take bong rips. Lmao. Love it!
