US Man, MATTHEW DAVID SAMPLE, in Major Meth Bust in Phnom Penh
Re: US Man, MATTHEW DAVID SAMPLE, in Major Meth Bust in Phnom Penh
afew times yes i did. I even spoke with a mutual friend about him being more careful etc. From what I know, we both spoke to him at different times- not together. He seemed to understand and i didn't interpret his responses as him laughing it off, but here we areatst wrote: ↑Wed Dec 14, 2022 8:51 amTotally agree with you, did you have a quiet word to him about what he's doing or didn't you know.
I've spoken to a few friends about not carrying drugs or taking drugs over here, they laugh it off.
I wouldn't have anything to do with drugs here knowing where I might end up, while I'm here it's beer and whiskey only., Same as when in Thailand till they changed the laws

That's the rat park experiment.
Again I am not saying drugs are great. They are anything but.
However to blame societies ills on drugs is erroneous. If anything its the other way round.
Prohibition has failed. Time to try something new.
Thanks for sharing this.

Re: US Man, MATTHEW DAVID SAMPLE, in Major Meth Bust in Phnom Penh
As I said earlier in the thread, I don't disagree with you. I was just pointing out - in response to another comment about them being harmless - I think the harm to society was being overlooked in the discussion. That really was my only point, I wasn't making any argument for or against the laws around drugs, and I'm not trying to get into any debates about the deep state or CIA.Khmu Nation wrote: ↑Wed Dec 14, 2022 7:07 pmYou are right, drugs are harmful to society. The point is that many people, myself included, feel prohibition makes them even more harmful. They aren't going away and they will never be eradicated. Also they are easily available in abundance everywhere - as well as used repsonsibly in moderation by millions. Plus it generates billions of $.Random Dude wrote: ↑Wed Dec 14, 2022 4:31 pm
I said that drugs (meth specifically) are harmful to society. And they are.
Time for a rethink.
This guy Matthew Sample... I don't know him and I'm not judging him, maybe he was just trying to provide for his family in difficult times, I don't know. Whatever the reason, he gambled and lost, and the consequences look like they could be severe. It's a hell of a life lesson. The laws - whatever we think about them - are what they are and his situation is what it is.

That's the beauty of drunk posting, you can drop the same one-line zingers again and again and you feel cleverer and cleverer each time.

Seems this topic is linked to the John James Green one.
Should they be merged?
Should we ask Sophia?
