It started in Phnom Penh the capital city of Cambodia my flight had just arrived and Boy was I eager too see my old 'friends' having spent 6 months the previous year living there I had this city sorted down pat and had a fair idea of how things work.


After putting my backpack in a hotel I made my way too the slums. It's a huge maze of pathways and houses built on top of a lake.

Now as soon as I get out of the taxi one of my ol shard smoking buddies spots me and knows exactly what i'm after and together we make our way too Mr Lee's house.

Now Mr Lee sorts me out every time with good priced A grade shards without the bullshit a tourists might get when trying to score.

I buy a $20 bag works out to about .75g. I know the image is a bit bright too see exactly what the stuff looks like but it's very transparent and uncut with no residue left over when smoked.

The shards are placed on some chewing gum foil and heated with a small flame lighter. The Chrystal melts into a pool of liquid and it's oh so carefully expertly vaporized through a Meth bong.

It goes like this, I buy from Mr Lee he get's a puff or two and and you get too smoke it in the privacy of his home while listening to gangsta rap.
He also gets to keep the water from the bong and later on he gently heats the water and evaporates it down to powder like you might cook ketamine.

I was at Mr Lee's house smoking Yaba and or shards every fucking day for 3 weeks and in the end my tolerance was so ridiculous it was time too leave and I made my way too Thailand where I spent the next 1 week eating like fucking crazy, my body was screaming for carbs and protein.

So now i'm 1 week clean and have no access to this ridiculously potent addictive drug.

It's also interesting too see people you knew a few years ago and meeting them again while they have been on this shit the whole time. One of the guys I genuinely liked has been reduced too an actual child like idiot and needs help to cook for himself and he's only 25!

Meth is Massive over here like allot is made in the jungle in super labs throughout Cambodia, Burma and Thailand and feed too the masses. It cripples and kills people. . . . I'm thankful it's only available too me over here as i myself have no doubt i would be a helpless addict.

Thanks for reading.



Until next years trip =D

Hey, cool story man, thanks for posting. The exterior pictures were pretty interesting, have any more of those? Anyway I had a couple of questions that I've been curious about but never ran into anyone to ask.

First is do you know what's up with the meth bongs like that made from a bottle and straws? It seems like that's pretty much the only way it's smoked in SE asia at least from what I've seen, but it just seems like a pain in the ass + annoyingly improvised. Folks in europe/africa/north america all seem to use glass, either pipes made for it (with or without a water chamber) or improvised. Are there legal or social implications with using something made for the job? Is it economics?

Also, what is the appeal of yaba versus crystal? I always assumed that folks used it because that was how it came, so it surprised me that you could get either. They are like 25mg-ish of meth right? Don't they end up being more expensive than the shards mg for mg? Are they easier to get, or is it that you can buy just one or two at a time for less money? What's smoking them like, do you crush the pill up and heat it otherwise as normal? Does the crystal ever melt or do you just end up crisping everything? Is the smoke harsher from the caffeine or other binders?

Thanks for the report!
 
From what I have read Yabba is around 40mg per pill and they go for $5 and your right mg for mg shards are allot cheaper and cleaner. A $5 bag of shards is about 100mg of clean chrystal.

It's strange though Yabba is definatley a different buzz it's some other slightly different form of Meth that just feels a bit more dirty and a worse comedown. We used to mix a yabba pill and shards and smoke them togather and sweet jesus was that strong!

Yabba kinda melts into a black pool but the shitty residue left over makes you think twice about doing it! You simply break the pill in half and throw it on the foil and that's all. Yabba 3 years ago used to be $2 a pill now it's $5 so I guess allot of people got really hooked on the yabba buzz and just prefer it even though it's not value for money any more.

Pipes are available but like I said the dealer likes to use a meth bong so he cane keep the water and reduce it down to powder on a heated plate at the end of the day to get quite a bit of meth that of coarse is water soluble.

Some people use pipes but the vast majority the water pipe is how it's done. You can take MASSIVE hit's with the water pipe too like gigantic head rush hits.

As for more photos of the slums i'll get some more on here in the next day or two I would now but this computer doesn't have Firefox only windows exploroer and I cant post pics using this shitty browser.

Stay tuned more pics in a day or two.

I thinnk your crazy doing drugs in a place that if you get caught they will no doubt kill you. Id be way too paranoid, especially with meth too.

Anyway sounds like your having a good time, nice trip report too, glad to see some pics up.
 
In Thailand or Vietnam . . . yes i wouldn't go near the shit but having spent over 6 months in Phnom Penh I KNOW how everything works and how too safely score and do drugs. this dealer I have known for nearly 3 years so in my mind I always feel %100 safe doing it.

And yeah I am having a fucking ball. Next trip report will be about buying OTC Ketamine in India or smokeing out pure golden hash with some holy men as I touched down in India yesterday. Pics are a must!
 
er.. shouldn't you at least black out the eyes so as not to incriminate your smoking buddy? I certainly wouldn't want pics of me pulling bongs all over the net.

other than that, interesting report...

I can tell you haven't been too any third world countires from what you say.

Trust me dude there's NO i repeat no risk too my friend who probably isn't even registred with the govt as an actual person in war torn Cambodia.

it's just so, so different to what you and I are used too it's a trip in itself.

I remember a scenario when A cop actually saw us smoking yabba and didn't bat an eye . . . . they know it's going on but they get paid off to ignore it.

Thanks for the compliment though. :)
 
as requested more pics of the slums.

Little rascals run around in packs gobbling up sugar sweets and skylarking like kids should.

not sure if its a good idea to post pic of ur drug dealer doing drugs or naked kids lol

good trip report though

He aint my drug dealer . . Mr Lee isn't in any of those photo's that guy was a bit of a drifter who paid a small amount of money too sleep on Mr Lee's floor . . . . as for the Kid thing . . . . . you kinda creep me out to even suggest that :|



And cheers Morphene, it's my third day in India and i'm already smoking hash in chillums =D . . and yes I do have photo's but I wanna do a well written photo report on the hashish in a few weeks when I have sampled and photographed all the different grades and types before I make it all up. :D

Cher Cher!
 
I like how you can see the exact shape of the drifter's skull through his face in the photos, without him looking too gaunt or scary.

Stay safe man have fun!
