| I had to take a "health test" and they took blood and urine. Can you only get busted in Korea for possession and direct usage or can the past haunt me? |

| There is a good chance that you will be held for a few hours and questioned. NOthing too serious. Most likely not get a job though or be dismissed from your job. |

You CAN be busted after the fact if the tests indicate RECENT use if you are foreigner or ANY USE if you are a Korean citizen.
Any positive test can get you deported as "persona non grata". |

To the best of my knowledge, they don't check for drugs, rather for diseases.
Also drugs, except weed, stay in your system for a shorter time than many imagine |
