How much for one kg

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything.

Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO.

How much for one kg

Post by Duncan »

Every day i go to the markets I have to ask,,, How much for one kg. In fact i have asked so many times I can say it perfectly in khmer. About the only thing I can say in Khmer.

So how much is one kg of this stuff.

900 kg at $900 million

Reminds me of the 1970 's and 80 's when police held up a dope plant , roots [ with dirt still attached ] stems and leaves , and in front of the tv crew said we found ten of these plants worth up to $ 5,000 each. The result being every school kid and unemployed maori in NZ Northland did their sums and found that if they planted ten of these in the bush, they could sell them and go out and buy a new Holden Commodore'

The following years police required helicopters and many police teams to combat the increase in growing and eventually ended up just lowering a hose from the chopper and spraying with paraquat. [ but the story does not end there ]

Perhaps we should be blaming , not the police but the tv stations for this advertising , as recent programs like CNN have shown.. If there is one thing that Donald Trump has got right , it's his view of the news media .
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.

I don't know how much it goes for, but that would make it $1000 a gram, which is ridiculous.

A friend of mine was arrested and charged with possesion of a couple of ounces of not very good black in the 80s. The magistrate said he didn,t believe that it was personal (it wasn,t) and said it amounted to " several hundred doses" his actual words.
My mate got 12 months suspended. sentence but appealed on the basis that the magistrate could not determine how many "doses" a couple of ounces was. He got off with a fine.

A point, or a tenth of a gram, seems to be a usual weight in Oz.

had to do a bit of research, hes talking about meth, its measured in points (1/10th of a gram)
with weed it would be 1/16th of an oz, 1/8th, quarter, half, ounce, 9 bar, pound, kilo? or something like that its been a while
