Siem Reap monks defrocked for drug use
13 December 2017
SIEM REAP - On the evening of 11 December, following a complaint by neighbors to pagoda elders, two monks aged 17 and 27 were discovered in a rental room where they were suspected of using drugs. This was confirmed after drug tests of both men were revealed to be positive.
Before being taken down to the police station, the two monks were officially defrocked at their pagoda in a ceremony where they give up their robes and lose their status as monks.

Plenty of older monks have Sak Yant traditional tattoos.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

I'd have to be stoned to swear off women and sit around all day chanting.
