|title=Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment documents 1980–1991 cannabis cultivation history in Koh Kong coastal communities
|summary=Academic Vulnerability and Capacity Assessment of Koh Kong and Kampot provinces documented historical cannabis cultivation at two Koh Kong coastal locations. At Koh Kapik commune, cannabis was "widely grown from 1980 to 1985" before a 1990s crackdown. At Koh Sralao, mountain forest was cut from 1980 to 1990 specifically to plant "Indian Hemp (Cannabis indica)," with conflict refugees from other provinces driving the activity. Cannabis cultivation and timber selling stopped in 1991 when a ban was introduced and the Ministry of Environment declared the area protected.
