Everyone knows crappy youtube videos about the health benefits of smoking pot are the highest form of evidence you can get.
Yeah you are right, just come to work smelling like soju. The kids will say you smell like their fathers.....When Koreans come to our countries we should let them take stringent psychological tests every year to make sure they will fit into our societies and that they won't shoot up universities etc..Some of the these articles are really completely sick in nature.

Whatever opinions people have about it are irrelevant. The teacher broke the law and the terms of his contract. Rightly or wrongly Marijuana is a big no-no here. Are we really surprised that the teacher gets condemned? Also if a teacher showed up drunk at work they would quickly lose their job.The comment about shooting up Universities is pathetic. Have any other racial group done public shootings? Psychological tests? Are they mentally defective? You allow your own personal predjustices cloud your judgement.The article is a hatchet job written by a clown who has little to no knowledge about what he is talking about. Perhaps he should work for the Daily Mail or Fox News.
''Two months after my family moved in to a new house, we found out our neighbor was growing pot in her backyard with the fan running 24 hours a day,'' wrote one Korean resident of Colorado on a local Korean online forum.
New Korea Times article:David Kim, an official of the Korean-American Association of Washington, says although there are ''proven benefits for marijuana usage,'' many Koreans don't relate to and approve the drug legalization as much as Americans do. ''It's a culture shock. No matter what advocates here say, for Koreans, marijuana has always been and probably always will be considered a bad drug,'' he said.

The possibility of more people on the streets?
