            Here's a lib in a travel blog buying a whole bag of weed openly in a marketplace, and smoking it in a restaurant in public and then lamenting how surely everybody goes to prison for fourteen generations if they take one puff: http://www.thebohemianblog.com/2013/09/on-smoking-weed-in-north-korea.html

              Once or twice the waitress came by to collect plates, and, coughing, made mock gestures of trying to sweep the clouds away with her hands. She didn’t mind at all, but rather seemed perplexed how something so commonplace could cause such unprecedented excitement.

              I'll be honest, I skimmed the article and didn't pay too close attention, but I didn't see the author stating everyone goes to prison for fourteen generations if they take one puff

              If anything the article came off as "literally no one cares"

                Huh, you're right, it's not as I remembered it. I was sure it had a link that said weed is actually punished by death or whatever. I'm probably misremembering.

              To expand cannabis is native to the Korean peninsula. For thousands of years Koreans have used it recreationally and medicinally. As ComradeSadge said it’s low THC. They often cut it with tobacco (or cut tobacco with non THC containing hemp) when there’s shortages.

              That's how cannabis was around the world before colonial powers unilaterally bans it in the early 20th century and imposes it upon their subjects, who went on to continue the indoctrination because there was noone with the knowledge to oppose it until recently.

              Literally thousand years of cultural culinary and medicinal history wiped out across the globe.
