🇰🇷 “Back from a trip… but in trouble?” – What You Should Know About Cannabis & South Korea
Cannabis laws around the world are changing fast. But South Korea still says a big NO to it — no matter where you are!
⚠️ Even if you use cannabis in a country where it’s legal (like Canada or Thailand), South Korea might still take action if you’re a Korean citizen.

🔍 Why so serious?
• South Korean law follows its people, even when they’re abroad.
• Some K-pop stars and regular travelers have faced investigations for using or even mentioning cannabis overseas.
