"After the United States built military bases in Thailand during the 1960s and stationed tens of thousands of U.S. soldiers there, the marijuana industry exploded and cheap, powerful pot became as readily available as beer."
“With an eighty-cent bottle of gin purchased at the PX,” one Vietnam veteran remembers, “you could trade for a pack of twenty Thai sticks.”
“Almost every corner, every house, they have it in the yard growing. The older people, they will like it. The working heavy guy, he will like it,” said one retired Thai grower, “but they use for medicine also, when you really feel fever. So if you have nothing there, you can get like one branch, and ground it up.”

Solution? Magical thinking and childish promises of everlasting life.
Ergo, religion.

If the answer is yes, you are a racist.

Malaysia is the country where you'd be insane to take drugs. There are industrial quantities of pharmaceuticals available at Thai Full Moon parties. Pretty sure the police get paid off handsomely to look the other way, went to one on Kho Phangan a few years back. Watermark should go there, he might finally get laid by a woman off her head on yaba.
