Legend has it that pot wasn't criminalized here until the wicked witch of the west came to visit in the late 90's (in her then capacity as US secretary of state) and was appalled upon visiting Psar Toul Tom Poung when she saw kilos of bush weed for sale and pushed Iron man to legislate against it

But that was a different time; and countries are more awake to the hypocrisy of the US, so hopefully it is decriminalized and fast

The legend I heard was that the publishing of "Off the Rails in Phnom Penh" is what brought unwanted attention to the weed for sale and then led to it being made illegal.
