A guide to drugs on Koh Phangan

Weed is widely available on Koh Phangan from just every bar decorated with Bob Marley posters and playing reggae music. Sometimes the owner will sport healthy rastas. A lot of times, especially late into the night, the owner will smoke weed and will treat you to it. The guidebooks warn against weed sellers snitching on you to the police for additional profit, however I haven't heard about such cases. Surely, those bar owners pay a cut to the police for some protection...

Mushrooms. This is the main illicit plant attraction of the island. Out of respect, I will not use the D word for them. Mushroom shakes are openly advertised in those mellow mountain bars in Haad Rin. The price of the "happy shake"� is 500 baht, and it's a good dose. I wouldn't recommend to take it during a party, as the trip can get quite personal and introspective. Of course it won't hurt to smoke some weed at the onset of trip, as the weed relaxed you and enhances the journey...

MDMA, LSD and ya baa (meth) are widely available at parties of the Half moon, Black moon and Jungle experience variety. I've seen a stall that openly sold MDMA (800 baht) and space cookies (200 baht) at the Jungle experience. Otherwise, just ask around. An LSD tab costs 300 baht.

Excellent article. As an aside, the Thai baht is currently trading against US dollars at 33 to 1.
