it's tough to argue pot should be 100% illegal.

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.

CJM : Well, I just got up to where this poor deluded guy says that medical marijuana is a front for meth labs, and then I stopped watching.He looks silly. He gives us no facts just his subjective opinion. :fool:

The USA is responsible for the severe repression against marijuana worldwide. If they start to legalise at home, then their global policy should reflect this elsewhere IMO.

For anyone who wants a scientific, as opposed to a political take on cannabis, read this. Dr David Nutt is one of the UK's most expert scientists on recreational drugs. The UK govt asked him for an expertise on drugs which they ignored because it didn't fit with their political line on drugs. He has since resigned.
Also plenty of other scientific information on all sorts of drugs. Not for or against, just information.

DEA makes a compelling case they are clueless during Congressional Hearings.
Senate Hearing on the War on Drugs.

Congressman Steve Cohen today railed against misguided and outdated federal drug enforcement policies that place marijuana on the same level as much more dangerous drugs such as heroin and methamphetamine.
At a House Oversight Subcommittee on Government Operations hearing this afternoon, Congressman Cohen explained to Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) Deputy Director Michael Botticelli that these policies and other anachronistic laws have resulted in a failed drug war and a generation of young Americans who believe the government has lied about the dangers of marijuana.
