Drugs in Cambodia

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. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. 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. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

The fish and chips at the Dancing Frog Restaurant in Siem Reap stand comparison
with any on the planet.

The last fish I ate there was barracuda. Not done as fish 'n chips but with rice and a white sauce.

The Dancing Frog is unusual in that everything cooked is cooked under the expert eye of Christian,
the Franco-Italian proprietor.

I have sympathy for the people who have to clean up after their deaths, as well as their families

That's a really shallow and ignorant attitude. Like what do you think they are going to live forever and no one will ever have to clean up after them or what;'s more take care of them as like very old and sick ?? Might as well be sooner than later. Anyone has the right to die and suicide anytime and does not owe anyone any explanation. The the sooner anyone dies the better it is for the rest of civilization - not going to spend living off social security and perhaps welfare medical expenses etc. etc.. They are doing you a FAVOR the sooner they die !! Far less of a drain off the economy.
AS is everyone.

Personally I like to stay as close to the plant it came from before hitting the chemical lab, i.e. weed, coke, even opium vs, heroin if on a binge.
Coke is more "natural" than heroin ? Not taking the piss, just wondering what your reasoning is ? Nothing "natural" about coke AFAIK. The perception that coke is not a big deal is probably the main reason why tourists ask for coke not heroin, and also why they are not more careful with how much they take and end up ODing.

:dm: Also, anyone who thinks they are concerned about the environment and the planet should not take coke in SEA because it is not locally produced and creates a big nasty carbon footprint. :nono: So learn some geography. If it really is coke, it probably had to travel in someone's bum to get here.

The cost of freighting it is negligible as only relatively small weights are involved. I'd be more concerned about the "blood" footprint on a product like cocaine. Those cartels don't play around, and they are only one part of the chain.

Some of have known people whose lives ended early due to
using bad drugs.

But every last one of them had a death wish, to a greater or lesser extent.

coke may not be more natural ( as one needs a chemical reaction to make it) but Opium, weed, Peyote and mushrooms surely are :-)

As for why they ask for coke, coke is associated with the upper class, rich , movie stars etc
Heroin is associated with junkies , bums, the bottom of the barrel, now one wants to be a junkie.
plus being a true junkie ur not getting high. only getting even enough to function in the world
....using bad drugs.,But every last one of them had a death wish, to a greater or lesser extent.
BULLSHIT
first, no one wakes up one day and says, "i want be a junkie" it just happens, no more than one wants to be an alcoholic.

ONCE again when i say BAD drugs i am not referring to any particular drug but how the drug is chemically made using improper or incorrect ingredients.
could explain more to ya but this is an open forum
