Over 3000 Marijuana Plants Destroyed in Takeo Police Raids

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.

They often "find" weed in Kirivong. It's right near the border with Vietnam, so I'm guessing it's easy to ship over.

Don't be fooled: cops likely know about the grow ops, but every now and then a sting will be made by either the same guys because of a lack of tea money, or a guy further up just to show that they're doing something. And no, Takeo isn't a hub for weed smokers...

At a guess: The right soil, good drainage, climate, and plenty of uninhabited areas. Never been to Kirivong, but from the photos you can see a lot of rocky hill country, not easy to access, and also no flooding since it drains off.

Personal opinion only.
Zero good grass is grown in the wet lowland or mountain areas of cambodia.
ie, Nowhere in any of the coastal provinces - and further north than that in most areas. I have never seen anything other than third grade, at best, grown anywhere in the south.

It is simply a matter of far too much humidity.
And the higher northern mountain areas are too damp also - with six months rain and all the vegetation, they just do not have the altitude to get a dry atmosphere - a crucial necessity for good quality weed.

The dry plains, or some of the small dry ranges, would be my first choice to grow. Probably in the central west or north west. Maybe a few select micro-climates elsewhere.
Maybe you could force a short crop in the middle of the "dry" in a wider range of locations.

But, sadly, never in the south - if you want good weed.
