No More Happy Pizza?
Apparently, Cambodia is cracking down on happy pizza. I never sampled any happy pizza (or happy anything else) during my travels in Southeast Asia, and I’m not just saying that because my parents read this blog. I’m saying it because it’s true, because, as I’ve mentioned before, I am a total freaking snoozer of a person.
However, I can advise that if you find yourself in Cambodia and missing the easy access to backpacker pizza, simply hop North of the border into Laos, where you will find not only pot-laced items, but also opium- and shroom-inspired dishes aplenty. Although, as far as the opium in Laos goes, everybody I met who’d tried it said the same thing: ‘I guess it was alright. I’m not really sure if I got high, though.’ The drugs in SE Asia are as hit-or-miss as most everything else there, it seems.
That’s hilarious because I immediately thought of Happy Pizza in Brooklyn. I’ve eaten there an never gotten high, either…

sources of ur post: random backpackers and the cambodian government . thats hilarious
the fact is though that the availability of drugs is far from declining in Cambodia, rather the opposite. Cambodia is a chaotic country where violence, drugs, and unthinkable things are everyday happenings. Laws are lax and absolutely anything can be paid for. Huge factories mass produce heroin and chemical drugs for shipment throughout large parts of asia.
To throw out Laos as an alternate place to go get stoned, is completely wrong.. I dont know else to describe it other than the two are like night and day in almost every way.
Regarding opium there are some hill tribes in the mountain regions of north thailand, laos, burma and china , that have cultivated and smoked opium for generations. In fact before the USA cleared the way for large scale production in Afghanistan, the area was the worlds biggest producer of the drug. I would certainly think that they do get stoned off it.
ill bookmark this blog its nice
