Use cannabis wisely is well-being.
Greed and ignorance is your own karma, not ganja.

The Face of KD

Aram Limsakul — Papa KD

Calm, grounded, almost zen when he's with the plants. Decades of quiet work with cannabis. A deep love and a real relationship with it, built over a lifetime.

He stood against the criminalization of the plant and was at the forefront of the Thai cannabis movement, playing a real role in the country's legalization. In 2017–18, he helped start Thailand's first medical cannabis project in Mae Sariang. In 2019, he won the Jack Herer Cup.

He's older now and lets us run the farm, but the way we grow is still his.

From a Terrace Dream to KD Genetics Today

Kevin and Daniel on the terrace, Tanote Bay, 2015

2015. The boys' first trip to Thailand together, just out of high school. Kevin and Daniel sat on the small terrace outside Papa's house, smoking his sungrown weed.

In Germany they knew cannabis only from a dealer's pack; in Thailand it was very strict and highly illegal as well. They wished for better days for this wonderful plant and said: “one day ganja will be legal here and we will come to grow weed with Papa KD.”

That moment planted the seed.

Daniel, Papa KD, and Kevin on the farm

Ten years passed. Daniel studied horticultural science in Berlin, Kevin played football and coached in Bangkok, and Papa KD kept working with his plants, quietly becoming an underground legend and helping push the country toward legalization in 2022.

November 2024. Papa's motorbike accident. Daniel happened to be visiting Kevin in Bangkok when the call came. The shock collapsed the distance between one day and now. Kevin left Bangkok in December. Daniel quit his master's and followed a month later. They came home.

What the boys said on that terrace in 2015 is the farm running today. Same land. Same family. Next hands.

Grown with BioBizz, From Dutch Origins

Rooted in the same values.

BioBizz started as a small, family-driven company in the Netherlands with one conviction: that organic soil is the foundation of everything. Decades later, that conviction still runs through every product they make, and through every plant we grow.

As our official organic partner, BioBizz sponsors KD Genetics with their full range of soils and nutrients. No synthetics. No shortcuts. All organic, small batch, grown by hand.
