You'd better check a legit source, not an ESL teacher.
Go to my previous post and ask the police yourself. |
Yes, thanks for the advice. |

If you get caught using a mind-altering substance, registered as an illegal drug or not, I would expect that the authorities would go out of their way to classify it while you are in detention, then charge you accordingly.
I have a friend who is a high-ranking officer in the narcotics division and trust me, they don't play around with that. Your chances of playing that card are slim to none, dude. Your a$$ will fry. |

In Ireland there is a legal drug that is available in shops and people take it for recreational purposes. It keeps you awake all night and gives you a bit of a mellow buzz. It is sold and advertised as a dance drug.
I think the reason it is legal is because the government hasn't classified it yet because it is relatively new. Anyhow, I was wondering what would happen if a person was to ship that drug into Korea?
Just curious, I don't intend doing it. |
It sounds an awful lot like BZP (benzylpiperazine). They are labeled in NZ as 'Party Pills' and have been around for about 6 years. I personally think that are total cack. They have the slightest ecstasy effect but cause the worst insomnia and have a suicidal come-down worse than any E I've tried.
They haven't been banned in NZ yet as BZP is a derivative of black pepper and can legally be marketed as a herbal product. My advice is to steer well clear of this shiite and stick to A class. I wouldn't even take them in Korea and thats saying something considering how much I hang out for a good buzz these days. |

Yeah, this rings true. But they would need to catch you in the act, and have something left over to submit for tests. |

Mate, simple.....just don't think about bringing anything like that!! Regardless of whether it's in their books or not. Korea is not the UK. They will hang you out to dry! |

If you don't give the name and don't submit any of the substance (aka...flushed it), they would have to test you for being under the influence.
But even in Korea the cops could only guess what substance you took: They'd whizz test you for pot. You'd be negative (I'd guess). The only way they'd be able to go along is if they then got a court order for a whiz test BUT if the drug is not in the books, how would they know what to test for?
All that said, FORGET IT!! It's a baaad idea. They'd probably make a special effort to mess you up. |
