8 marijuana fields is only a figure (didn't we do well) yes! But its an area of 151 square meters, so 151 plants producing 4 ounces per plant, that overall is aproxamatly 17 kilos. But probably nothing in the wet season. Who would the supply be for, tourists and happy pizza shops? Locals and Chinese being in the past news prefer ice it seems. The police are still searching for the farm owner to punish him for illegal cultivation. Should not be difficult to locate him, her them, if they were responsible for the planting.

Marijuana! Happy pizza shops! What is it with them, I just happened to call by one the other night for a coffee. $2,3,4,5,10 add now to the strength of happy topping. It's been a long time and this pricing being new, I didn't want too strong and also I didn't want to come across has stingy, so oppted for $4. Don't do it. Half the medium pizza got left, I was completely shitfaced.

It’s being heavily smoked in the Khmer clubs as well. Missus got dragged to BM Club a few days back. Got choked by the all the marijuana smoke floating around. Still suffering effects.

Firstly I have no idea what is a BM Club, secondary with your last thread on about don't tell your husband everything, and also family values, distant marriage and so on, I would be a little worried.

Nothing to worry about.

BM is an expensive Khmer club. Her friend from out of town wanted to go. That friend’s friend goes there almost every night. So much so, the club ‘celebrated’ her husband’s birthday that night. The friend’s friend knows the owner. So an entire group went.

Image

Missus is the only one wearing a mask. And not drinking. Came back around 2 AM smelling of smoke of weed and cigarettes. Convinced her to take a shower before going to bed.

She’s still in pain from that experience.

She does her best to support her friends, even if it means suffering a bit from her end. I’d be worried if she did the sugarcoat pretend. But she shares all, so there’s no worry, no doubt.

Why not suggest to your wife that she meets her friends in nice non-smoking coffee shops ? That looks like one of those clubs that gets raided for drugs and they all get lined up against the wall :?

If it were me, I probably would. But then I haven’t got a clue about being social. She tries her best to make everyone happy. Anyways, just re-affirms that she isn’t a club girl, and will never be. Good for me.

I will answer two of your comments. Firstly I once did just that on one of my road trips. You know yourself what happens when a Khmer lady wake's, the first thing she does is look for food. My day was made a little difficult with a stoned pillion who never goes near any ganja, first and last time for her. But she never touched my food again.

Second about the club, I would think it would depend if the establishment was in favor.
