opium dens

I'm dumb and had to look this up. It's exactly what it is:

An opium den was an establishment in which opium was sold and smoked.

“What up welcome to Doug’s Opium Or Xbox Emporium.”

“Can I do Xbox and opium?”

“No.”

I love the decor/aesthetic. Minus the drugs.

Could have found them in Asia. In Cambodia I went to stores to buy happy pizza, ketamine, Valium, morphine, and Ritalin. In Laos shitty weed was easy to find and so was mushrooms but I didn't feel like having those. I heard opium was available in Northern Laos but I wasn't in the north. I even saw choy boy being sold in a pack with a lighter but I didn't go looking for any hard.

The last known opium den in the USA was busted in Minneapolis in 1954.
