my uncle strips his branches to make a fine hemp "thread" a wraps the bud in it while it's still in late flower so it grows alittle more and then he cuts and dries it ....then he smokes it....i don't know why it's "cool" but i guess hippies like it...don't know
I wouldn't tie it to a Popsicle stick. I guess if you want it to look like Thai stick I would get hemp string and wrap the top cola. Thats how Thai stick looks. Of course its not Thai stick Just a bud wrapped in string.
