How strict are the marijuana laws where you are?

It's extremely strict. Police officers have the authority to stop anyone on the street and test them for drug use (don't try to argue your rights cause it won't work). The most commonly used test is the hair follicle test (I actually had been stopped randomly and was asked to do this). I was free to go after the testing.)

It doesn't matter where you took the drug too. Since I am a South Korean citizen, I can't go to a place where it's legal to smoke and smoke. I can get arrested and put to jail for up to 5 years (not including being detained until charges are pressed). Including a fine of 50 million won (which is about 45,000 dollars)

Even amphetamines and opiates are illegal.

any drug consumption is not criminalized since decades. so no laws. addiction is a disease not a crime. trafficking is.

@unknownpoetx Also a lot of Korean drug traffikers have been killed in China for traffiking drugs.

But being addicted to the drugs is kind of the person's fault for taking the drugs that are illegal.

like I said, drug consumption is not criminalized, it's an addiction. people can't control themselves you moron. that's why it's such a problem.
fining them or putting them in prison is completely stupid inhumane and absurd. solves absolutely nothing at all.
in my country they get medically treated so they can recover from being addicts.
since drug consumption was decriminalized drug uses dropped 80%.
