Short history of Opium

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.

I smoked some dogshit Opium years ago up by the Golden Triangle. I read later that it's color should have been a tip-off & it was full of impurities. Gave me a 2 day headache. I'd love to try the real stuff.

some mad freaks sell it in GSM from Laos.

too sketchy for me sahibs.

reckon some old chinamen probably use it in PP.

thai government monopoly within living memory still, so probably went on a lot longer in cambo, and maybe still does.

family would probably know.

thing is- the kids are not interested in this kind of shit or ganja either.

those are old man things.

LOL- me too- but the flesh is far too weak in my senescence.

In the late 1970's in rural indonesia opium was commonly sold as medicine in little pills in rural areas as an anti diarrhea medicine.

Highly effective with quite pleasant side effects.

In PP 6 or 7 years ago, my back was f*cked from f*cking and I went to a random pharmacy looking for Codeine. He was out but he offered me powdered Morphine which he had a big container of. Didn't try it since I was flying to SGN that afternoon.

codeine metabolizes to morphine.

absurd in my opinion to restrict any of it.

some can handle it- some can't.
it is self limiting in terms of a darwinian outcome.
junkies don't breed well.

for responsible adults- the shit is medicine.
