I wonder if ot was a raid or they just pulled over the idiots. What's that coke bottle thing, some type of bong? It's one thing to smoke it, but carrying 2kg+ I'm your car along with tons of paraphernalia is a bit stupid.

There it is there, a weapon of choice of every drug dealer, in Cambodia,,, a pair of side-cutters. Makes these couple as guilty as hell.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

It baffles me as to why any farang would want to sling low grade herb in the KoW. What is the absolute max a key might go for here. $300. IDK. Not even an educated guess. The law here is so draconian. But I guess for enough mordida you can walk away. USA you will need a $10K lawyer.

Go to NYC where a key fetches a handsome $3K ++ grade dependent.

I'm with you Luigi. If you're going to be taking the risk of dealing in a foreign country, might as well go for something that fetches more like cocaine. The risk reward ratio seems so bad for dealing. I don't know if the law differenciates/goes softer on weed vs meth and other drugs. I assume it's easier to wiggle out of and the authorities might be a bit more lenient. Still, dealing is never a good idea...

It's all a bit rediculous given that weed was used all over the country up to around 10-15 years ago, and it'll probably be legal in most Western countries within ten years after Canada legalizes it and a few others follow suit. But it is what it is...

To further that thought; your niche clientel is extremely small. Highly doubt you are wheelin to Khmer. They would be the 1st. to out you. Seeing as how in my hood the dealers are the popo/tuk tukers/motodopers. And that who most tourists buy from.

Looks like a Lexus 300 something or other. Not cheap to buy or rent. Weird!
