Welcome to South Korea! We’re the best Korea since we have weed and no generational concentration camps!
Wait, wait, wait, you have weed in south Korea???
Weed is super duper illegal in SK, they’ve increased the number of weed related arrests year over year. There was even a huge crackdown at the end of last year.
I was gonna say, that flies in the face of like everything I’ve heard about Korea, haha.
potoooooooo ✅️If he’s lying about the weed, it makes you wonder about the generational concentration camps. Methinks they doth protest too much.
Doesn’t mean they don’t have weed though. Sounds like they have more than ever.
SwifferWetjetAllegedly it’s sold like a spice in NK but honestly at this point I have no idea what to believe or not believe when I hear something about anything there. Which is probably intended but still lol
ValmondMore context please.
They were ambassadors for airport customs at Incheon, and in this scene, they were being shown contraband found in passengers’ luggage.
I choose to think the 2 girls on her arms are holding her back from taking it and running. 😂

nymnympseudonymSilly girl, bring LSD for international flights. It’s odorless, tasteless, and you can being a shitload on a piece of blotter paper that looks like it’s being used as a bookmark
Just to be clear, you probably don’t want to take it during the flight.
Weed is such a harmless little bullshit drug to be so ridiculously over-the-top hyper criminalized in some countries like bruh.
Weed is gonna ruin your life because if you have it in your person imma sens you to prison for 30 fucking years and ruin your life.
It does not. Make. Sense.
ol_capt_joeDelicious, masterfully distilled, barrel aged, water of life 👉😉👉🥃
It’s the dudes with the bud light cans.
Outlawing cannabis products was essentially an exercise in deliberate systemic racism in the US. (Nixon).
Unsure about the rest of the world.
It goes farther back than that. DuPont and Hurst had a hand in making cannabis look bad.
JoeBigelowAnd hemp makes for a garbage printing medium anyway
☂️-
embed_meIndia here, colonial penal code outlawed it but we’re too prudish to change it after independence
They outlawed it because hemp was a competitor or cotton I thought
I thought it was about paper prices?
Yep, William Randolph Hearst fucked everything over for his textile businesses long before Nixon, but it is true that racism played a big factor, namely beginning to refer to it as marijuana instead of cannabis and linking that to those pesky Latinos
The only issue I have with weed, and most other drugs, is that you can’t easily test for them in a person’s system, meaning that you can’t know if someone’s driving under the influence. This wouldn’t be as much of a problem if not for the fact that we have have such a car centric society. I don’t like people endangering other people just for a buzz.
They have mouth swabs they use now that can tell for smoking.
They can be used when pulled over just like a breathylyzer (although this is the law in my state and I’m in USA all places may not have the same rules) but I do see what you are saying about hooking it up to the car like the breath machines.
Man, someone could potentially make a lot of money to be the first ones to roll that out.
I don’t think this is “car brained”. They’re not saying anything around public transit, just that we need to have a test for DWI and weed. People shouldn’t be jailed for 30 years regardless of the presence of the test or not, but we do still need some other test. Otherwise I guarantee that “don’t drive while baked” will be the next infomercial you see in a few years.
Missing the point a bit, we shouldn’t base legalization around if people are going to drive their cars on a substance.
100% agreed. Like I said I think it should be legal regardless, the punishments are way too severe for what it is. But on a completely different note, we do still need the tests. I love drinking and I love smoking, but there are rules of the road, and one of those is “don’t drive the death machine with impaired judgement”.
But yes you’re right, the legality shouldn’t be based on if “but what if they drive”. I’m more saying “if you do some life-disregarding level ignorant” shit you’re still getting in trouble.
I honestly … for calling me “car brained”. That insult hurt me more than any other I’ve received. I want to protect pedestrians and cyclists from people driving cars under the influence. I want to limit driving people’s freedom to make life better for everyone.
That’s honestly a very odd reaction, for what it’s worth I meant it lightheartedly.
Of course I think pedestrians and cyclists also deserve safety.
I would like to point out however that a majority of incidents are drunk drivers who do not already have a device like that in their car, so it’s a tad bit absurd to indicate your hard line for legalization is that when it would only apply after the fact anyway.
Sorry, that was too rude, I just got really upset… It’s odd, I’ve never really gotten angry at internet comments until now.
I just wanted to point out my single issue with weed, which is more an issue with car centric infrastructure.
Nothing you said was rude. In fact everything you said was correct on all counts. I think the other person was just joking
I edited my comment. I said that I despised them and said “fuck you”. Not that bad, but I changed it to be a little less abrasive.
thank you for explaining, I was a little confused about the exchange until I read this. I think the edit was valid and a positive but I just wish there was an edit history for better context sometimes.
Sorry for making you angry!
Yeah, it’s hard, it’s not like you’re wrong that driving while baked is more dangerous then sober, but to your point I think the way our infrastructure is built where pedestrians are an afterthought if thought about at all, definitely contributes to make it even more dangerous.
I wish we had more walkable/bike-friendly locations, it’s just not super likely given how large the US is
I am 100% on bike I see no argument on there. Just don’t smoke 3 day before you have to drive.
Eh, you can still do a blood test in conjunction with a field sobriety test. Its not as cut and dry as something like alcohol, but to be honest it really shouldn’t be anyways considering how much more dangerous driving while drunk is.
You can easily test if they’re in someone’s system with a saliva test, so your argument doesn’t make any sense.
Can you hook a saliva test to a car’s ignition system to only allow sober people to start the car?
The best way to eliminate this risk is public transit.
If you can’t tell what problems is it causing? What about the elderly, just because they’re not actively impairing themselves further it makes it alright that they are more impaired than a normal driver?
