Seoul, terrible bust

[simplelife]

I left seoul about a week ago and am slowly making my way across the world. I want to share with you a story about an elaborate bust here that involved the media and the police working together. My sources are local foreigners. I cant sight an article, because it is in korean.
About three weeks ago a news reporter(undercover) was hanging out with a couple of foreigners who have been in korea for a while. They, apparently really know about the market and have good connections... Everyone was really drunk, and the reporter started asking them questions about cannabis here, like how many people use it, how to get it, how it comes into the country, etc. So it seems that these guys dropped a bunch of first names of connections. Again no-one really knows exactly what happened. The reporter, after their drinking session(a past time in korea, its ok to get so drunk that you cant walk anymore and vomit on the street, but no puffing) went to the police told them what he had learned. The following day a big dealer, and a few people growing were caught. I think it was about 20 foreigners in all who were arrested.
So a week after this all went down this reporter did a huge story about foreigners using drugs in korea and causing lots of problems. Something along the lines of foreigners come to korea for easy money(teaching english) and to **** korean girls(kind of like a sport or something). Well the korean economy isnt so hot right now so this is just a tool to divert attention away from the real and serious problems.
Just wanted to share this with everybody, be careful in korea!

NO SURPRISES

NO SURPRISES

NOTHING NEW THERE ! Korea has never been and will never be substance tollerant Example in point..... A military friend got popped along with his girlfriend for smoking MJ due to another females big mouth. Well the korean national police broke down the door torn the whole place up And of course found the big stash!!!! A whole whopping three joints . as a result of this bust. he lost a stripe , was put on what is known as international hold wich means you cant leave the country till the national police are done with you the girlfriend was sent to a korean prision and held without a trial along with this the koreans also have a policy in wich any crimes committed by a korean national are then recorded in thier national family registry where the intrire family of said criminal is listed , the criminal then has a RED line drawn thru their name ... This then subjects the criminal to varrious sanctions such as they cant hold a government job or ever leave the ROK (republic of korea) this happened in 1977

In Thailand there's a large reward if you can tell the police where a foreigner with cannabis is staying (Koh Samui is the TRAP ISLAND where the police have 5 or 6 high end sports cars each).

In Malaysia there are police officers buying new houses with the money they extract from people they catch SMOKING - the alternative being 10 years in jail or the death sentence.

And yet Asia also seems the least willing to discuss what cannabis is. It just can't be talked about in a grown up way here. To the governments, heroin, crystal meth and cannabis are all the same drug and if you argue it then you will be ejected from the discussions.

And honestly, I blame the US and UK misinformation campaigns.

Korea hates dope

Korea hates dope

yeah in Korean there is only one word for all illegal dope, Mi Yak, which covers all drugs. So to Koreans weed, heroin, blow, it's all the same.

Couldn't have said it better.

The rat reporter violated an unwritten journalistic rule, not to reveal your sources. Get the name of the reporter - even if it is in Korean. Post it here, post it on other web sites, spread his name and what he did all over the internet.

Hopefully, nobody will trust him with info again.

The rat reporter violated an unwritten journalistic rule, not to reveal your sources.

another golden rule is to, "Check the facts". i guess he took anything as truth and doing that will be a fuggin joke. its too bad those guys he was talking to did not play him like a /3iTcH. imagine the Korean equiv of the CIA busting a few dozen tourists b/c they, "had a joint" and it turned out that nobody had any ganja at all.. flog that reporter for posting disinformation.. lol... lord knows how they love to flog people there in that part of the mechanical world.

I need to ask, WTF has the essence of humanity gone? i`ll tell you, into public executions and proliferation of lies. Its like somebody said, in Korea, you can get drunk and fall down and piss yourself all day long, but when it comes to a Medic who smokes cannabis, the gov might murder you... thats nuts, i`m a Medic in california trained in Advanced Life Support and I have saved quite a few lives over the years. my co-workers send me flowers and buy me breakfast. nobody needs to know i smoke cannabis. it makes no difference.
to think the good samaritan could be murdered for a joint is OUTRAGEOUS !

Korea is a place to avoid if you're a smoker. No waves no herbs, not interested. Suppose I will have to go eventually.

My wife is a real Korean, immigrated 3 years ago (no I didnt order her in a catalouge, met her in Cali) and she just got a greencard. Im a real luck guy. Shes cool w/my cultivation and smokin, well sometimes she gives me a dirty look when it gets past the 7th bong rip for the day, but shes the one who encouraged me to cultivate since its so expensive to buy, save money- she said. None of my friends wives are this easy going and they're all americans. Just want to say not all Koreans are intollerant ignorant judgmental conformist shallow drunks, just most.

I was reading in Jason King's rediculous bible I, which is very subjective and fluffy. He mentioned a Korean Sativa being a building block for a certain strain. No folking way! I'm calling bullshit on that. No good sativa has ever come out of Korea. Koreans wouldn't know or appreciate good herb if it bit em on the taint, therefore no selective breeding. Don't know where Jason King gets these crazy ideas, pretty sure he's never been to korea.
