Study records cannabis in Cambodian kitchens and markets

Marie Alexandrine Martin's chapter in Cannabis and Culture, based on fieldwork in 1973, described cannabis growing in small household plots and being sold in markets at about 3,000 riel a kilogram. She recorded its use in soups, curries and remedies, and noted that the plant was not intensively farmed. The account describes household growing, market sale and cooking at a time when cannabis was part of everyday life rather than a specialist drug.[1]
