Police said Monday four North Korean defectors have been arrested on charges of habitually taking illegal drugs smuggled from China.
Ilsan Police Station said they have arrested four North Korean defectors and a Korean-Chinese man in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, and confiscated 90 grams of methamphetamine and 5 grams of marijuana, an amount enough for about 3,000 people to use at once.
One of the suspects, identified only by his surname Yoon, was arrested on suspicion of receiving the meth from Kang, an ethnic Korean in China, in March and July through the international parcel service and taking it more than 20 times with his defector roommate, identified only by her surname Min, police said.
At Yoon's house, police said they found 4 million won ($3,300), suspected to be money from selling illegal drugs.
The 47-year-old defector Yoon is suspected of selling 0.5 gram of methamphetamine to another defector, identified only by her family name Kim, who allegedly took it with her roommate, identified only by his surname Hwang, who also defected from the North, police added.
A 32-year-old Korean-Chinese, known only by his surname Doh, was also arrested.
"The arrested defectors said drug abuse is rampant in North Korean society to ease the suffering from starvation," a police officer said. (Yonhap)

Is 90 grams of meth enough for 3000 people to get high even? I don't use meth so i wouldn't really know, but it still doesn't sound like that much. I'd imagine a 10th of a gram at the minimum, so like 900 at yhe abdolute most? Ifk shit about meth except what breaking bad taught me.

Im really fucking confused, all I'm saying is the story said 5 5 grams of weed and 90 grams of meth, is enough to get 3000 people high.
Maybe you misunderstood my comment about north korea having the best everything? I was saying it sarcastically since their leaders act like they have the best of everything.

It's fascinating because I wouldn't think of N. Korea having much of a drug market, seeing as it's so oppressive.

Isn't weed legal in north korea, just hardly anyone knows you can smoke it to get high?

Yes, weed grows everywhere in N Korea, and is perfectly legal there. People do smoke it regularly in that country, as its a social drug like alcohol. In addition, meth is also legal, and encouraged to be used there. Its often used when hanging out with friends and family. N Korea is known for manufacturing some pretty good quality meth, and smuggling it into neighboring countries to be sold.

Obviously it couldn't, but that is exactly what the article was saying as written.

Not knowing is the only fascinating part of north korea. I think if we all knew what was going on we would be depressed and look away.

I think I'm the closest one to N. Korea in this forum.....possibly. I'll book my ticket and fly on over. I'll tell you guys what's up in the black market. 
On a serious note I'm sure life is the worst with all those delusional statists impoverishing everyone else. Hopefully one day every grabs their farming tools and blunt objects and says:I'm mad as Hell and I'm not going to take this anymore.
