It's a good catch, I would hope to hear more successful news like this, but somehow I think like most drugs of this type are going to find there way on to the Phnom Penh streets. That in the end will bring along many problems.

Use of yama/ meth is rife in the provinces too.

Yes, and I think the problems have already started in the provinces - maybe I'm wrong, but it seems that the reports of violence are increasing. The present rate of unemployment and the continuing influx of drugs is not a good mix.

The Yama/Yaba pills caused the authorities a huge problem in Thailand with the younger generation, due to the low price of per tablet, it was said that there were being that many produced the price that started at $5, the demand grew and the price dropped to a low of $1.50. So yes, if they are available, they will be in the provinces because most can afford them, meth on the other hand is supposed to be that of an expensive drug, more like the days of cocaine vs speed. I know we see it in the news, being that people, addicts with an addiction are caught, but with small amounts, obviously many dealing to help support them and now their addiction. But the bigger busts have been night clubs, or larger amounts in transit, I would say more to the middle class or that of regular good earnings.
