This reminds me of a scene in Scarface where Tony Montana(Al Pacino) sits as the table snorting from a "mountain" of cocaine. Somebody in NK could be doing the same with crystal meth.

Dictators and communist should all commit mass suicide to make the world a much better place.

Hard for me to understand...
I thought these people were nearly starving...
seems they would just be happy to have a biscuit or something...

What comes around, goes around. I’d like to see Chia Head and #1 son do a load and play Russian Roulette with a fully loaded gun.

sex acts while watching a porn video under the influence of the drug.

So...San Francisco, but with GUNS? And straight, instead. And no blue hair.

Hey Tiger do you think Chia Pet doing Meth or Chia Chub his son

It’s amazing that the Norks can spend so much money on Meth, nuclear weapons, missile technology and midget submarines, while they perpetually starve to death.

Next thing you know, they’ll start wearing mullets, living in trailers, and driving broken-down old El Caminos.

Makes the grub and tree-bark soup with a side of roasted sticks taste better.

I'll be damned. I didn't even know the Norks had trailer parks.

"But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: for men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away, for his name is Obama."

[M Kehoe]

The Norks do have a "bouncing off the walls" kind of diplomacy.

I guess considering the surreal cult they live in where life has no value and the future has no hope rampant drug use amongst the ruling elites is not surprising. A skilled intelligence service could use this to great advantage.

Is Charlie Sheen in North Korea?

[shield]

This what happens in such a repressive country. Look at the old Soviet Union...the people became drunks and still are today...

[DouglasKC]

Defectors say that youngsters at an elite school in Chongjin, North Hamgyong Province attended by the children of senior officials were caught by security officers having sex acts while watching a porn video under the influence of the drug.

Those kids could have earned college credits by doing that over here at Northwestern...

Illegal drug use can’t be stamped out by police state tactics?! Inconceivable!

[balch3]

the most highly controlled society in the world can’t control its populations’s drug use. This is a lesson for all the drug warriors.

- In some regions, Methamphetamine (Crystal Meth) is consumed like food
- Children are addicted as well
- Regulation by the government is useless

Drug abuse in North Korea is worsening each day.

According to interviews with residents of Heoryong and Musan, in North Hamkyung Province on February 5, North Koreans near the border area and Shin-ui-ju, Hamheung, and Pyongyang consume Crystal Meth like food.

Especially near the border area, Meth is used by people of all ages, and even students aged 14-15 consume it. In these regions, Meth is served for guests, and the host invite guests to consume Meth by saying “Well, let’s drink!” Adults do not hesitate to invite children to consume Meth, which is resulting in addiction and drug related crime. Children often steal in order to afford their consumption.

The North Korean government, in March 2008, issued an ordinance prohibiting drugs, and ordered execution of anyone who is involved in trading. In 2009, the government placed specialists to regulate the drugs. However, those involved in trading have bribed government officials.

In the border region, 1g of Meth is traded for 100 Yuan, and the consumption is only increasing despite the food shortage.
