Cannabis is legal in North Korea

Seriously

Not surprised.

:O More rights than United States, surprise surprise

It's mainly used by workers as a relief tool after hard work periods, which is pretty common in NK. It should be legal everywhere, by the way.

The state will ban the things it cannot or it finds difficult to tax: Drugs and prostitution. There's nothing wrong with prostitution. I don't know anything about drugs, but I doubt they're as bad as they make them seem.

Oh? Then go smoke or inject some heroin every day.

EDIT: Oh and, why make conclusions when you admit you don't know anything about them?

You don't know anything about Taoism or religion either, but it sure doesn't prevent you from shitting out nonsense on a near-daily basis.

I remember reading this on Vice Magazine's website not long ago.
Thankfully they have an excellent search engine and friendly-named URLs

According to the article, Opium is also apparently legal (to smoke) - so I guess in N Korea, Opium is the Opiate of the Masses.

How about a conclusion, that when drugs legalize in a country, all relevant statistics shows a drop in drug abuse.Not to mention crime.Almost everything bad about drugs, comes from criminalizing and demonizing them.Netherlands stands the proud example of this.
Also Portugal dicriminilized use of illicit drugs in 2001.The number of addicts considered "problematic" — those who repeatedly use "hard" drugs and intravenous users had fallen by half since the early 1990s.

NL #1 place.

Exactly. Decriminalization also helps to reduce the violence in by taking money away from drug dealers, which means less guns, and also help the government to collect taxes so it can invest on public healthcare to treat drug addicts.

... or, if strict market principles are applied, criminals (for whom violence is capital) now move from exploiting drug abusers to exploiting some other part of society. Some combination of two things will generally occur: A new, undiscovered market will be exploited (unlikely, as 'violence' would have naturally flowed there already) or the next most profitable 'sectors' will be the 'recipient' of 'new capital'. What is still illegal? Expect more criminal violence in that sector, as the market adjusts to new competition. Human trafficking? Extortion? Kidnapping?
