Illegal plantation of 12,000 marijuana plants discovered in Takeo

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

even ultra authoritarian Thailand has conditionally suspended prohibition in some regions
In a long overdue move, the government this past week decided to relax the narcotics law and allow hemp to be grown as a cash crop in six provinces in northern Thailand. The decision to allow hemp in 15 districts of six designated provinces -- Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Nan, Tak, Phetchabun and Mae Hong Son -- is right but hardly enough. Hemp or ganjong, classified as a type 5 narcotic, will remain under control in the rest of the country.

Good for mods, too, haha!

GREEN ENLIGHTENMENT
The movement is changing, people are becoming more educated about it.

Long-held "Reefer Madness" fears are giving way. Tax and regulate for quality, safety, and purpose. Like alcohol, tobacco, firearms, pharmaceuticals, etc. Avoid extremes and we'll all be fine.

Honestly, the Cambodians should know better that MJ has medicinal benefits for some (not for everyone, like myself), but perhaps were bought off the prevailing thought at the time, that all drugs were evil, and only taxed drugs were allowed (alcohol, tobacco, pharma).

STUPID KIDS HOLDING UP THE SHOW
However, I still worry about stupid young foreigner kids on holiday going off the rails and messing things up for everybody. The fear is the occasional accident from freely available and stronger pot, then hash, then heroine, then mainline OD. Doesn't happen to everyone, but it does happen. Shouldn't happen like that. And who can intervene out here?

Then there's the fresh newcomer that scores big then gets too high. Hospital, then deported by urn or plane. Annoying.

I hate it when I see those OD headlines. When that stops, people will have more freedom.

Also, drugs shouldn't generally be shared with local "square normies," much like casinos don't allow normal local people to enter. I think the rule is, only those that can afford to lose it all are allowed to enter a casino. Is that why hipsters are so closed-circle to locals?

LACK OF WIDESPREAD CULTURAL KNOWLEDGE
Society-wide, Westerners score low on the proper use of stronger substances (yes there are notable exceptions here, of course). But places like India and the Middle East know how, when, and how much to use their traditional cures. Funnily, they always had an experienced hand guide select people through their inner journeys.

Am I just ranting or do I have legitimate concerns, haha? I suppose most people really don't go overboard here, do they? Not more than any other comparable city, right?

Btw, don't locally produced and properly regulated products undercut the "bad guys" producing the stuff? Then they just have to ensure proper usage of the stuff, that's it, right?

Let common sense and freedom prevail.

Not if there's a fire, not even if you hear the sound of a thud from my home and one week later there's a smell coming from there that can only be a decaying human body and you have to hold a hanky to your face because the stench is so thick that you think you're going to faint.

Even then, don't come knocking...Not for ANY reason.

Yes. As well as showing how out of touch you are with reality.

They do indeed! At least two or three marijuana OD's in Phnom Penh every week.

I don't do MJ, so I'm calling you on this - what do you call a MJ OD?

You're joking, right? No one dies from MJ, in PP or elsewhere. One of the most compelling reasons why MJ is better than alcohol. Some people can't stop alcohol poisoning. MJ justs put you to sleep.
