Oh, SO Dope

Marijuana, weed, yes, CANNABIS, it's legal in North-Korea. Just because North Korean tourists smoke it, doesn't mean it's legal! No, but...Other sources seem to explain that, regardless, marijuana is simply not criminalized or stigmatized as ''poor living choices'' in ''The Hermit Kingdom''. An NGO based in Seoul, held in 2010, an ''Open Radio for North Korea'' and cited that Kim Jong Un's regime does not consider marijuana to be a drug. The HuffPo states that it is unsure whether the drug is ''prosecutable'', but the regime does not appear to take the issue seriously in practice. What has the North been smokin'? Oh, right, cannabis grows wildly in North Korea. The mulla, cashing it in, one joint at a time. Sokeel Park, the director of research and strategy at Liberty In North Korea, says that Marijuana has been sold abroad by government agencies as a ''a way of foreign currency''.

Marijuana is known as 'yoksam' in North Korea. Perhaps the reason why the government has not made such a hoot about the drug is because in Western cultures, Weed is, on the contrary, very stigmatized. The fact that it is criminalized in North-Amercia creates a sort of fetish in regards to the drug. In North Korea, marijuana grows near the streets of Pyongyang, therefore, it is not so much of a hype to see the drug: ''NK News receives regular reports from visitors returning from North Korea, who tell us of marijuana plants growing freely along the roadsides, from the northern port town of Chongjin, right down to the streets of Pyongyang, where it is smoked freely and its sweet scent often catches your nostrils unannounced. Our sources are people we know who work inside North Korea and make regular trips in and out of the country.''

Because I got high, because I got high, because I got high, la-da-da-da-da...
