Yep...greeeeat. Rolling Eyes Sad Mad

I was just watching KBS2 and they had a news segment showing that an American elementary English teacher in Suwon was growing (they showed the potted plants) marijuana in their apartment. They said that the individual was also selling the drug.

Links? Dunno. Anybody know the putz?

Cheers.

My wife just saw that on TV, but said it didn't specify where they lived.

She said 9 have been arrested and they are looking for 6 more teachers.

Why can't they just stop? It makes me sick to hear people say how it is not addictive...seems damn addictive to me. Always some idiot gets caught doing this crap.

funny logic:
people often do things that are against the law≠pot is addictive.

It said Suwon. Those fools risked everything for a dozen or so garbage looking half dead plants. They should be ashamed.

Ya, and the soju Koreans bring into the Middle East isn't addictive either. A very small percetage of people who use pot are addicted, there are MANY more alcoholics and people addicted to tobacco and caffeine. Do some research.

I don't think Bellum99 was trying to start a competition between pot and other drugs for the Race To Addiction.

The transaction(s) may have occurred in I-won, but the schmuck was working in Suwon (or so I think...the documents shown on screen were there for just a pinch in time sorry...lame pun). Dunno... my Korean ain't perfect.

While pot isn't as physically addictive as say alcohol, it does seem to have the same psychological addiction that smoking has on people...hence why some of these "stone heads" find it impossible to quit when they get over here.

IMO Korea should do what Singapore does: anyone caught dealing in narcotics gets the death penalty - no exceptions.

? Why in the world would you say that? Why can't Korea lighten up instead? Koreans need to smoke some dope and chill out if you know what I mean. The last thing they need to do is get more uptight and close-minded.

That's an idiotic opinion.
