Re: Cambodia needs to take a page from Thailand!

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.

Three's not really enough product on the street for the officials to making any serious money. Let's hope this fairs better for them and sets a trend the neighbors can covet.
seems to be plenty of thai product on the street in Cambodia
I haven't seen any of that red string crap. You know something I don't know? :beer3:

It's not going to happen, here or anywhere in the region. Thailand is talking about growing medical marijuana for export. They are not talking about going all Bob Marley and encouraging anyone to smoke reefers. Smoking a cigarette in most places in Thailand is already severely restricted, why would anyone believe they were going to lax up on any other drugs?
The chances of any other country in the region making marijuana legal are close to zero, especially when the leading economies like Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia are so dead set against it.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

That ^^^ is an classic example of all that is wrong in the world of weed today.

And don't start me on the Red String origins, or any of the other providence issues stated here as fact.

Well, if they don't want to make it legal it must be as dangerous as they say it is.

Plus, I'm no "scofflaw", so I guess I won't be trying it.

Is the "high" really worth the risk of brain damage and life in prison?

People that say that, are prime examples.

Yep dont you just hate people that dont know anything about it, so much info available now too, like documentaries showing how much it has helped young kids that would probably be dead without it...

The Rebirth Of Thai Sticks

Thai Sticks are making a comeback in recent years as smokers rediscover what a pleasurable experience they can be. If you don’t want to make your own as demonstrated here, ask at your local dispensary. They might be able to hook you up.

The talk of clampdown of the authorities is just the start of the demise of the famous preferred smoke of the old G.I s who served time in Nam. But think of the time in making the Thai Stick, no doubt it was worth the time, just when any product is in large demand. Now think of past skills being passed down to the makers sons and daughters, "Why" is it worth the time in this production of today? It may have been very lucrative back in its day, with effete "no longer fruitful," Its more possible the shift of the times into the field of producing the more demanding drug of the people and regions "Meth".

Anyhow I will let you read on -
