For Ruby and Chris, owners of Chi Samui Gardens, cannabis is more than just a business—it’s a culture, a community, and a journey that transcends borders. Chi Samui Gardens, an organic cannabis cultivation project nestled on the tropical island of Koh Samui, Thailand, specializes in producing high-quality rosin with a focus on ice hash extraction. Their work is dedicated to preserving the purity of the plant, free from chemicals or butane, to create something truly exceptional. Since relocating from California’s high-pressure cannabis scene, Ruby and Chris have embraced Thailand’s evolving cannabis market, establishing themselves as pioneers in a growing industry.
Their involvement with FullMoon Sesh, a renowned global cannabis event that celebrates the art of cannabis culture, has been pivotal in propelling their brand into the international spotlight.
FullMoon Sesh: A Global Cannabis Family
“It’s not just a competition,” Ruby explains. “FullMoon Sesh is about intentionality—every detail is about the vibe, the people, and the culture. It’s a space for true cannabis enthusiasts, not corporations.”
At the 2024 FullMoon Sesh in Prague, Chi Samui Gardens earned recognition for their craftsmanship with a second-place win in the rosin category—a remarkable achievement that skyrocketed their reputation. Their success didn’t stop there. At the Bushido Cup, their Melon Burst strain took first place for rosin, solidifying their status as a top-tier cannabis producer. Meanwhile, their Pink Starfruit strain—a cross of Starfruit (bred by @thegratefulseedsitalia) and Starburst 36(by @highergroundcanna)—claimed first place in the melt category at FullMoon Sesh, Bangkok 2025.
“These wins mean the world to us,” Ruby says. “They’re not just trophies; they’re a celebration of passion, collaboration, and a commitment to the art of cannabis. We’ve been fortunate to work with incredible people—@wash.oil, @thecuresamui, @made_whit_magic, and @elsantobiotech710—whose talent helped bring these creations to life. These victories are a result of the hard work we’ve all put in together.”
Chi Samui Gardens’ success isn’t just a result of their exceptional genetics and rosin production. It’s the product of a shared vision that values collaboration, community, and authenticity—principles that resonate deeply within the FullMoon Sesh ethos. Ruby and Chris have embraced the global cannabis movement by focusing on purity and quality, specializing in ice hash extraction that preserves the plant’s essence, free from chemicals or butane. This commitment has allowed them to carve out a unique niche in the evolving Thai cannabis scene.
In Tune With the Plant: Ruby’s Spiritual Evolution in Cannabis

Koh Smaui, where Chi Samui Gardens now thrives, is many things: a tropical paradise, a spiritual haven, a place where dreams take root. But for Ruby, it’s a sacred space where she has learned to truly listen to the voice of the cannabis plant. Cannabis is no longer just a crop for Ruby—it’s a living, breathing entity, a partner in her cultivation journey.
“Cannabis is my teacher,” Ruby says softly, her voice filled with reverence. “I listen carefully to her. She speaks to me, in subtle nudges at first, but over time, I’ve learned to hear her voice more clearly. It’s not just about growing plants; it’s about understanding the energy behind them.”
Ruby’s connection to cannabis goes far beyond traditional gardening practices. Her bond with the plant is deeply spiritual and intuitive, almost prophetic at times. She sees cannabis as an active partner in the cultivation process, guiding those who are willing to listen. “The plant doesn’t like being exploited,” she explains. “I’ve seen businesses mistreat her, and I’ve seen the consequences. Cannabis has a way of ensuring that those who don’t honor her won’t thrive.”
Through her journey, Ruby has come to believe that cannabis is here to help humanity elevate its consciousness. “She’s a spiritual master who reincarnated as a plant to stay alive and accessible to us. We’ve only just begun to understand her power,” Ruby says, her voice tinged with awe.
The Feminine Energy of Cannabis
As Ruby continues to deepen her spiritual and professional connection with the plant, she is also on a personal mission to bring more feminine energy into the cannabis space. “There’s so much talent among women growers, but we need more representation,” she explains. “It’s exciting to see women collaborating in ways that push the industry forward.”
For Ruby, the cannabis plant embodies the ultimate collaborator. “Right now, my focus is on how I can grow with her,” she shares. “It’s not about me—it’s about what we can create together.”
In a world where profit often takes center stage, Ruby remains steadfast in her dedication to cultivating cannabis in a way that honors the plant, the culture, and the earth. “The heart of the cannabis movement is in a much deeper connection—with the earth, with the plant, and with each other,” she reflects. Ruby is a reminder that the industry doesn’t have to be driven solely by business—it can be shaped by love, respect, and a deeper understanding of the plant's spiritual essence.

A Global Cannabis Movement: The Spirit of Chi Samui
Chi Samui Gardens represents more than just a cannabis project—it’s a testament to what happens when passion, culture, and spirituality come together in the pursuit of excellence. From their roots in California to their spiritual awakening in Koh Samui, Ruby and Chris have created a life and a business that reflect their deeper values. The wins at FullMoon Sesh and the Bushido Cup are a celebration of their commitment to the plant, but they’re also part of a larger movement—one that values collaboration over competition, quality over quantity, and spiritual growth over profit.
As their influence grows, Ruby and Chris continue to share their love of the plant and its deeper wisdom with the world. As emissaries of the plant’s deeper wisdom, Chi Samui reminds us that sometimes, the best way forward is to slow down and listen.
