I have often asked the same question. Has I have been led to understand meth is an expensive drug on all accounts. I haven't seen anything from anyone who can confirm the actual price in Cambodia.

It's easy to make and they produce a ton here so it must be super cheap. You don't need to grow anything or whatever just do the process get your weight and repeat.

Never looked for that though so no idea about actual prices.

I don't know any exact prices but drugs are always cheap enough when you split them up into individual deals. So it's maybe $70 a gram and $10 for a bag of less than 1/10 of that. There's a whole lot of it all over the villages and hamlets of the kingdom.

On meth: prices have come down considerably in wholesale since producers moved away from using ephedrine as precursor. Governments worldwide - even the Chinese - have limited trade in ephedrine making it harder to obtain thus more expensive. But it is chemistry, so producers found out as alternative precursor with similar properties phenyl-2-propanone could be used instead. With extra bonus that P2P can be produced using off-the-shelf standard chemicals, and in many different ways. Chemicals that have many legitimate uses so cannot really get banned. Sam Quinones decribes this in his book Dreamland on the opioid crisis that mainly documents that, and the ratio behind the move to synthetics like fentanyl. Big advantage for crims: not produced with plants, no yearly crop to harvest. Just order the chemicals and start cooking. He also describes (anecdotally) that since the production moved to using P2P quality took a hit and increased mental issues with the users.

Meth made from ephedra ( plant, prolific weed ) is coming out of Afghanistan in growing quantities

Its such a simple compound anyone can make it, the issue is getting enougb of the precursor to manufacture it. Many people are willing to take the risk for the rewards.
