You're in a country where pharmacies will provide a full range of antibiotics by default for a common cold. Where most local doctors know less about healthcare than you and their first reply to any disease is to connect you to 0.5 Liter IV fluid which you can use while sitting on the back of a motorcycle.

Don't waste your time on this one. If you want to use the stuff, for whatever reason, provide yourself with whatever you think you need, but keep your head down and don't be too vocal. Announcing you want to grow the (illegal) stuff, out in the open, isn't going to help you in any way. Might even harm you. :hattip:
Let me be clear ... I would not break the law living here as a guest in a magical kingdom ... in my mind, it is a great privilege to live here ... but I am hopeful for the future ... that as more research is published ... Next generation leaders in Cambodia, Vietnam, Japan etc ... they would reconsider their stance and approve it for medical ... this plant has been used for thousands of generations throughout the world ... it was only in the 1900s when USA lobby successfully convinced the world it is an evil drug. Well, I hope that clears it up a bit more.
I do appreciate your passion but there has only been a few hundred generations since humans started making a dot on the map.

Either way, to answer previous questions, the reason why hemp is not easily separated from psychoactive cannabis is that margins are small and analysis costly.

In a country not friendly towards cultivation of cannabis how will you prove that your 3000 hemp plants are all within legal limits? If they find that one of your plants exceeds there goes your crop.

Who's going to insure this? Or provide loans?

It's by design very difficult and costly. Lately we are seeing advancements in hemp cultivation even in tricky countries, much thanks to advancements in technology. But for that to happen in Cambodia I think they need to decriminalize, there simply is no resources otherwise to tell the difference. Sure you can see and smell but I'm talking official lab results to tell what's what.

Am I making any sense? Too much hemp tonight.

You wouldn't be the only one doing it that's for sure. Cambodia is loaded with retired stoners growing their own bud. But there is always risk involved, especially working with any kind of quantity.

While it's illegal to grow hemp it's products are available if you look in the right places. Kampot comes to mind.

Or you could grow a few yourself. One or two at the time without anyone knowing, out of sight, without upsetting someone, without spreading the word (including at this place) and you will most probably be fine. Just don't start selling the stuff, or do anything else which might put you on the radar of the authorities, keep low. (Lush) Garden required though.
Prolly right … but I am interested more in changing the status quo and old ways of thinking about cannabis … it was the good ole USA news mogul from California William Randolph Hearst who funded the Reefer Madness campaign and the demonization of one of nature’s finest gifts to medicine … and his propaganda spread worldwide … my mom used it in her final days and died smiling … in contrast, her mom died in agony due to Texas laws back then prohibiting its use … even as medicine. There are such strong and compelling reasons to decriminalize cannabis as medicine. I pray the next generation in countries which outlaw cannabis will change and allow people suffering to use it as god intended.
Wow! Is that pure arrogance or what?
