Is this a my drug run was better and bigger than yours thread, count me out I can't remember.

You won't get any 'dope stories' from me on this thread, or anywhere else. (i pray)
Boring as bat shit.

I don't do dope stories - and hopefully those few who i write my experiences for, from those fabulous times when we opened up a whole new world of incredible wonders, understand that.
Sure, pot was a part of it, for some - but it was just one of a thousand ingredients in that swirling mysterious Eastern mix that we chose to immerse ourself in. and reeally explore.
It was also a relatively small, but still consequential, part of our trading economy at that time. And hence part of the History.

If you ain't interested - fine.
If you think talking about it is unwise - thanks. i understand that, but after careful consideration i think i am on safe ground. There is nothing written here for me to fear or hide. Others may chose differently.
Sorry, but I have an niggling urge to start telling some of the SEA history that we lived thru in the making. It was interesting times - to a few of us anyway.

If you don't like "Dope" and want to point your withery old snaky fingers of scorn - Good. I don't like beer.
ffs eye roll

If you think i am bragging bullshitting or dick swinging i will tell you straight out - One, i am too old for that. Two, i don't need to. - our everyday life out here was full of the most incredible things. I want to record exactly that.
To exaggerate or invent anything would be to dismiss the very fantasticness of the experiences that we had. The real thing needs no embellishment - at all.

'Sorry that i cant write History near well enough to take you all back there. But i might start writing down some of this stuff before i die anyway, just for the record.

You first....

I tried weed and soon got bored with it and moved on to ecstasy and LCD. I dabbled with ketamine around the same time. Before long I was snorting coke off hookers stomachs and on the pipe and downing a bottle of vodka on my own. I had lost track of reality and was dirty and broke. But what a hell of a night.

I had quite a career and plenty of stories. But I have found all the books and the stories very tedious for many years.

Say what you like
but i would never have met Charles Sobraj if i wasn't running (a little) dope
or walked into the loosing end of a war.
or met that mad chick that tried to murder me...

Hi Stern, I am fascinated by the 'Life and crimes of Charles Sobhraj '
I've have been a regular to S.E Asia from the early eighties, and am very endeared to Nepal, where also he operated his evil charms.
Also I stayed regularly at Bongai , near Lumpini stadium, on Rama 4 , Bangkok, where he operated close by at hotel Malaysia, years before.
I would like to know , Did you have much to do with him ,and was he the charismatic , as claimed, or did you feel uneasy in his presence.?
I would appreciate some insight into his behaviour , like did he get stoned, or drink booze with his associates ?

LCDs suck, LEDs are much better.

Yeah, I don't like having no control. I don't know what LEDs are. Heard of them, so started researching on the International Police site.

First category: Central Nervous System:
"CNS depressants slow down... Examples of CNS depressants include alcohol, barbiturates, anti-anxiety tranquilizers (e.g., Valium, Librium, Xanax, Prozac, and Thorazine), GHB (gamma hydroxybutyrate), Rohypnol, and many other anti-depressants (e.g., Zoloft, Paxil)."

Weed is a downer that gets you high. Anti-depressants are depressants (inflammable is flammable). MDMA is classified as a hallucinogenic. Amongst the classified drugs were hair spray (must watch the movie), paint and cement!

Some of the prescriptions had a worse affect than the reason for taking them - 2 wrongs don't make a right (however, 2 Wrights did make an airplane).

Seems the document might have been drafted in the Evidence Room.
