Uraguay is actually the second current nation to legalize this. North Korea being the first. Cannabis is not regulated as a drug at all in North Korea.

- Crito 13y agoFor anyone else wondering the same thing as I was, it seems this legality extends beyond just tourists, and marijuana is available too, so it's legality isn't just a technicality.

- shiven 13y agoIt may be self-regulating in a way. Could you imagine getting the munchies in a starving, dictatorial, failed nation-state. Already nothing to eat and now a drug that makes you crave food even more. No, thanks!
- Crito 13y agoOn the other hand, it's not like there is going to be much to watch on TV... Apparently alcohol is extremely popular in North Korea. Probably a better entertainment/hunger compromise.

- Crito 13y agoInteresting, thanks for the link.
- ddoolin 13y agoDid they legalize it in North Korea? I suppose not if it wasn't illegal to begin with. Possibly it was never illegal, or it could be a legal grey area.
