OP
vice.com has a nice article on the use of marijuana in North Korea. Despite the well deserved reputation for being a highly controlled society it seems the use of marijuana is rather higher than most might expect. That said it seems there is a rather large difference between how it is viewed there and how it is often viewed by certain groups in much of the rest of the world.
Though it is viewed as something of a poor person's vice it seems it is enjoyed by a rather broad section of North Korean society and even finds fans among the military there.

North Korea, the most tight-lipped, conservative, and controlling country in the world is also a weed-smoker’s paradise. Despite the government’s deadly serious stance on the use and distribution of hard drugs like crystal meth (which has a notorious legacy in the country), marijuana is reportedly not considered a drug. As a result, it’s the discerning North Korean gentleman’s roll-up of choice, suggesting that, for weed smokers at least, North Korea might just be paradise after all.
