Re: American Tourist Michael Farabaugh Dies of Drug Overdose on Street 136 at Amari Hotel, Phnom Penh
i am starting to wonder why so many drug overdoses recently?
Were these guys hooked before they came over?
if so, was the shit they got back home low % and the shit here higher and they did the same amount?
or were they just trying it out for the first time?

Dunno PR but at least this heart attack had an important qualification.

I'm loosing track of all these people dying here, infact I'm dam sure some of these people have died twice and been reported six times in the paper. Do we have a proper list of expats.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Maybe they were Mickey Fin'ed with too much. Happens all the time in Africa. Felt unwell so headed back to the local guest house. Sometimes they don't even make it and die in the Tuk tuk. Just saying. If it were Africa, no-one would have so much doubt.phuketrichard wrote:i am starting to wonder why so many drug overdoses recently?

I'd guess that those who die in hotels are either tourists or drifters. They aren't proper residents.Duncan wrote:I'm loosing track of all these people dying here, infact I'm dam sure some of these people have died twice and been reported six times in the paper. Do we have a proper list of expats.

Yes and no on the hooked b/f coming. The dope in Cambodia is very much stronger than the dope in most of the US, unless it's cut with fentanyl which is a death sentence as well.phuketrichard wrote:i am starting to wonder why so many drug overdoses recently?

Many times this happens in Cambodia b/c people find their first source & that's less than honest, cuts the drug. Then someday down the road they get some uncut stuff and bam...
Other thing, lots of stupid Americans who look for cocaine get sold dope, and do a typical cocaine line - which is up to maybe 10x a lethal dose if it's dope. For fucks sake, there is no coke on the streets of PP. Never that I've heard of, if there is, you're still much more likely to get sold dope. Cocaine in Cambodia? Nah... Stupid Americans think "is hot, poor and tropical, there must be blow here." The get drunk, crave their shitty US blow, and buy dope unknowingly. Alcohol + dope + no tolerance = fast death.
Also - if you're going to do dope anywhere, always do a tiny amount first to be sure it's not something else or too strong for you.
Better, just don't. It's not worth it. I know...

if someone doing dope has that kind of sensibility, he / she will not be doing dope anywayKampotBound wrote:Also - if you're going to do dope anywhere, always do a tiny amount first to be sure it's not something else or too strong for you.
