Is Cambodia as drugs ridden as people make out?

[ChiangMai noon]

Nice OP, straight to the point.
Very direct, no bullshit.
I like it.


Unfortunately I can't answer it because I've never been there.
I've been to Swanage in Dorset though and that is a place surprisingly well riddled in drugs.

[stroller]

Looking for any particular one?

I like all the reactionary sex pats who rant about the evils of drugs while drunkenly stumbling around looking for teenage prostitutes to abuse... tw.ats

i don't take drugs much anymore but like to keep me hand in so to speak.

[Marmite the Dog]

I never stumbled across drugs on any of my trips to Phnom Penh.

Sill easy to get drugs in PP, though I heard not as easy as it used to be when dope was legally sold in the markets. If you do wanna get soprted out there head over to the river happy pizza joints and the man in the kitchen will have some. But dont get the crap they use for thge cooking, pay a bit extra and be happy.

Agree. You can get a dime bag for $5 from the happy herb guy. If you ask a moto driver he will try to charge you $8 for the same. Any hard drugs, just ask your moto driver, and pay his inflated mark-up. I have never done hard drugs, so I can't give you a price range. From what I've heard, the Khmer kids are into the designer drugs and speed. You can also get almost any type of controlled drug sold legally in the US at any Cambodian pharmacy(tranquilizers, valium, mood enhancers, etc).

I don’t think cannabis is illegal in Cambodia. When I was there – and this was 1996 – in the Russian Market there were stalls with big bags of grass on sail and I mean sacks of it. Lots of people smoking in some of the guesthouses as well. Not my thing but live and let live I say.

[Ice Maiden]

When I was in Cambodia only last month we were told cannabis is illegal.

My Dad's friend asked our driver if he could take us somewhere to buy some and asked if it was legal, he looked at us in shock and explained it is illegal for sure but he can get some from his friend if we wanted any.

My Dad's friend started to get worried and told him he didn't want any! Pretty risky if you ask me.

[Sukhoi]

Yah, I think Cambodia had a period in the mid 90’s when anything that could happen did happen. Like Lao around 1975 I hear it was wild out there.

[in4zip]

there was this really witty but weird guy named the horse always souped up on some ketamine shit (no fugging idea what's this shit is since i'm anti&allergic to most of this stuff) on khmer440.com forum before the guv there cleaned the place up a bit
they used to have these K parties and it seemed the participants came out of them in a zombie state.. so is K available in Cambo? the repply to the ones in the know..

[DrAndy]

no, it is not MD

alright, a bit more.....

Cambodia has drugs, as anywhere, and you can find them

most are now illegal, so you have to take care

often the police are involved, and setting up some rich foreigner used to be a hobby of theirs

[kingwilly]

Ketamine is basically a cheaper version of Cocaine....

so I've heard.

U used to be able to get an entire bottle of the stuff (in liquid form so needed to be crytalised first) in Cambodia for a couple hundred baht.

[aging one]

Yup it was nice buying it in the markets, but alas you cant anymore.

[stroller]

Ketamine is basically a cheaper version of Cocaine....

Ehh, no, it's on the other end of the scale. A very potent anaethetic, used early last century during emergency amputations, now mostly used for veterinary purposes, hence it's known as the "horse tranquiliser".

It is available in Cambodia through 'friendly chemists'.

It's been reported that it's unadvisable to inject it, it's pretty heavy duty stuff. I heard users boil the liquid to evaporate the water and snort the resulting white crystals after grinding or chopping into powder.

[aging one]

Go back a few years and mix the stuff with PCP that was the horse trank of the 80's. Why do people want to fry their brains?

Damn herb grows in the ground and you smoke it. Thats enough for me.

[bkkmadness]

Ketamine can get powdered up into grey crsytals but can also be drunk straight from the bottle though it tastes fucking horrible. Its dirt cheap in india, but too much will most definately blow your mind.

[mad_dog]

My dad is a vet .... So plenty of ketters for mad_dog when he was a lad

In February 2006 in Snookyville - south of PP - every motodriver had a bag or jacket full of various drugs and cannibis. Not for me - but up to you...

I love it that a guy w/ a Tony Montana avatar knows this info!

I met this Finnish man in his fifties on Koh Bulon back in 1997.

He came up to me in the bar one day as I was having a beer and said 'I could not help but notice you and your friends are Finnish. Just wanted to say that seeing how you took care of your friend there after he sprained his ankle, made me feel proud to be Finnish. You stick together and care about each other, and that is a beautiful thing. There is so much shit out there, so many young people wasting their lives away on drugs... but you and your friends make me feel there is hope. ...and now... and now (his eyes widened as he looked past my shoulder at my mates who sat at a table a few meters behind my back) ...and now - your friends are rolling up a fat one!! For fark's sake!! I am a cop back in Finland you know! (downs his drink in one big gulp, smashes the glass down on the bar) "I'm off to bed."

...and away he went, as my mates lit up the fat one.

Ketamine is a dissasociative tranquilieser.

Strange stufff.

I've been to hell and talked to the devil before.


I would still like to try DMT before I die but I don't know if that would be the last thing I did.
