Yeah, that place out 'there'. Anything not really Cambodia related should go here.

Please DO read the article; does anyone here know the outcome of the trial in which rats were the accused?

Leaving aside our spike of heroin for the moment -

Were the felonious rats condemned to be torn asunder by terriers?


Back to heroin again; there are those who argue that death by heroin is akin to death by - say - cave diving or flying in the Alps in a wingsuit -
those who choose to give such undoubted pleasures a try are well aware of the rewards and the risks and are willing to pay the price.

No tears should be shed for them.

Plenty for everyone. Prices should fall. What does it cost here in Cambodia. Only curious. I passed that point (pun intended) long long ago.

No, we have enough people coming to Cambodia to OD already, but at least for the moment they don't bring their grandchildren along to watch them - that's just gross. Do it in style - leave your family out of it.

Price is much less than in western countries I guess.

I think this US problem has been driven by over prescription of Oxy etc. Now the Heroin is being cut with Fentynal, which is much cheaper and supposedly 100 times stronger.
I believe most heroin in Cambodia comes from the Myanmar/Yunnan region. Heroin in Europe and the US is more likely to come from Afghanistan, and increasingly from Mexico and South America.
Silence, exile, and cunning.
