Great! A country with nukes run by tweakers. Then again, I look in the mirror.

I’m trying to imagine the North Korean version of Breaking Bad but my mind just can’t conjure up an image.

So do they use crystal methamphetamine instead of sprinkles on their ice cream?

I guess they’ve never seen some of the before/after pictures of Meth addicts. That’s enough to scare any thinking person from getting within 10 feet of meth. You might lose some weight, but at the cost of your health and soul.

“but at the cost of your health and soul.”

The NORK party elite have long since lost their souls. Maybe they can be persuaded to worry about their teeth.

I have read that North Korea is a major meth manufacrturer same as Mexico is in our hemisphere. That the Norks distribute meth throughout NE Asia. That meth is the drug of choice in Japan and South Korea. Not marijuana...that’s for numbskulls.

Drug taking is low in Japan and South Korea but if they take them they want meth and uppers

You're thinking of the peasants. These are the well-fed ruling class members.

Didn’t know anyone in the DPRK, other than Baby Huey, a.k.a. Kim Jong-un, had a weight problem. The vast majority of North Koreans subsist on starvation rations; usually no more than a bowl of rice a day, and a small piece of fish once or twice a week. Conditions in the countryside are far worse; reports of residents eating grass to stay alive are not exaggerated, and most of the 1 million or North Koreans who died in the decade-long famine were from rural areas.

Malnutrition is such a chronic problem in the worker’s paradise that the average Nork is now 5-6 inches shorter and about 40 pounds lighter than the typical South Korea. And large numbers of North Korean children show the chronic effects of malnutrition, including brain damage.

Of course, the elites are a different group. Fat Boy, like his father and grandfather before him, understands the importance of delivering actual food and consumer goods to the key people in the military and the communist party, in return for their support.

Going on meth to lose weight is probably a matter of life and death. Being corpulent in a society where almost everyone is stick thin is a good way to attract attention from the secret police, and it gives them the foundation for charges of dealing in the black market, etc. Very handy for getting rid of elites who run afoul of the regime.

What were you expecting from a country whose leader
reportedly doesn’t defecate?

“I guess they’ve never seen some of the before/after pictures of Meth addicts.”

The addicts you see in the pictures are abusing very dirty meth and essentially starving in the streets with no medical attention.

Pure meth is actually not very toxic and your doctor can even prescribe it to children under the brand name “Desoxyn”.

Elites can use meth for decades without looking like those street addicts. They just become extremely dependent on the drug and slowly lose their mental health.

IMO, Hitler was a prime example of elite meth psychosis
