Happy Pizza in Cambodia

In Cambodia, particularly in Phnom Penh, there is a small but famous pizza house called "Happy Pizza." Unfortunately, I didn't visit it while in the city last October 2008, only my colleague did. It's called "happy pizza" because costumers will be happy after eating them - the pizza is spiked with poppy (marijuana) leaves. It has been banned, allegedly, in September 2008, but it looks like the ban is not yet in full effect when we were there.

The verdict according to my friend - no effect on him. He said he was waiting for something to happen to him (read: feel different), but nada, no effect whatsoever. I was kidding him that maybe his tolerance level for poppy leaves is high that sprinkles of it would really not produce the effect he's expecting.
