We enough of a bad rep with Koreans because of morons like you

Also don't give me this crap "alcohol is more harmful than weed bs" its not what the Koreans think and thats what matters


well, had i not done any research, i wouldn't have thought to ask this question. since korean laws are not applicable to me here, the onus is not on me to adhere to it. there is no legal expectation for me to abide by laws of a country of which i'm not a citizen. since this isn't a moral issue and because i'm in the legal green, there's no reason for you to get nasty.

by your train of logic, your fits of rage, drunken or otherwise, or infidelity, your boorishness and arrogance, your didactic nose sticking it where it doesn't belong should have barred you then. what koreans think and do, even if permissible by law and their culture, doesn't mean you can join in the rawkus because of

everyone else, thanks for the advice.

OP, you don't know this maybe, because you are new, but when one foreigner is in the news negatively, it affects all foreigners, especially teachers. We have gotten new requirements (like, for example, the health check) based on incidents where ONE foreigner was in the news.

Every once in a while some idiot will screw up and do something stupid, like it sounds like you were about to do (coming over here with traces of marijuana still in you where it will be picked up by a health check, whether or not it was legal where you were), and then things get annoying for everyone else, starting with teachers having worse reputations and needing to go through more requirements for jobs.

After a while, people get annoyed. Yeah, he was a little harsh on you, but I think you don't understand why.

In case you need to hear it one more time, you had better be stopping the weed smoking (legal or not) long enough before you come here that you don't have to worry about drugs showing up on your drug test. That it was legal for you to have smoked it when you did will not be accepted as an excuse.
