Arrr, the Cambodian scallywags be sendin' seven tons o' devil's brew to Davy Jones' locker! Aye, 'tis a grand lesson to all landlubbers about the perils o' these cursed concoctions. May they be walkin' the plank if they dare meddle with such treacherous loot!

Meas Virith, the head o' the drug-fighting agency, mentioned that the drugs be worth a hefty sum o' $22.7 million wholesale and nearly $70 million on the streets. He be warnin' that these substances could harm countless souls if they had not been confiscated.The good general be advocatin' for education as the best weapon against the illegal drug trade. He be stressin' the importance o' teachin' the people about the dangers o' these substances rather than just arrestin' those involved in criminal activities.Meas Virith reported that the authorities be handlin' over 3,800 drug-related cases in the first five months o' the year. The United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime be warnin' that the production and trafficking o' synthetic drugs, especially methamphetamine, be at record levels in Southeast Asia, posin' a grave threat to the societies in the region.According to the U.N. agency, crystal methamphetamine seizures be on the rise in Cambodia, reachin' over 1.4 tons in 2023. The amount o' heroin seized also doubled in the same year, indicatin' a resurgence in the heroin market in East and Southeast Asia.
