The production and smuggling of Meth and heroin was (and probably is) the state-sanctioned enterprise to earn hard currency. All those involved are now going free-agent, making their own for sale. NK is a poor corrupt totalitarian country with large population of drug addicts.

We should deliver them a couple of tons of heroin a month.

I thought maybe they ran out of grass to feed the people with.

Can’t blame the peasants, they have nothing else to look forward too. Guess we should just nuke’em.

The only way they could have a drug problem is if it was state sanctioned. It makes you wonder how many of our politicians, judges and police have been bought with drug money.

Make them legal. Tax them. Idiocy solved. Government grows.

If I were imprisoned in that hellhole, I’d want to escape my misery through drug addiction too.
I just hope the South Koreans aren’t too idealistic, and/or too eager to reunify under any conditions. If and when reunification happens, it MUST be under the total control of the South. It cannot be a joining of equals, but rather the South taking over the North on its own terms. Anything less than that will lead to disaster.

Ministry of People’s Security agents tasked with cracking down on drug dealers could themselves be bribed with drugs.A totalitarian state can't suppress drug use, yet some fantasize that it can be done in the Land of the Free.

Mental escape for a captive populous, hopelessness is a common ingredient for many drug users.

They are trying to kill their great national pain. It is turning the nation into a bunch of mental cases. I imagine alcoholism is rather high, too. A regime based on true hate and terror would only bring this about in its oppressed people.
