Yes there is. Perversely nearly all of it comes from Cambodia as most Laos export goes to Thailand.
Da Nang even has a bar where the locals get the bong out.

I may be wrong, but I think the Vietnamese refer to skunk as cooch. Not sure of the spelling. The rest is code for those in the know.

If I were in my early twenties, maybe so, but I'm not, so just Informative.
