In this Jan. 9, 2017, photo, a saleswoman shows off a locally produced t-shirt and towel made out of Hemp in Pyongyang, North Korea, which has been getting some pretty high praise lately from the stoner world. The claim that marijuana is legal in North Korea and that if any laws do exist they aren't enforced is emphatically not true according to the North Korean penal code, which lists it as a controlled substance in the same category as cocaine and heroin, and the people who would likely be called in to try to get any foreigner violating them out of jail. Hemp is, in fact, grown in North Korea with official sanction. It's used to make cooking oil and military uniforms and belts. (AP Photo/Wong Maye-E)

Air traffic controllers and pilots stand with their ultralight aircraft on the tarmac of the Mirim Air Club on Sunday, Oct. 16, 2016, in Pyongyang, North Korea. Until a few months ago, if you wanted a bird's eye view of North Korea's capital there was basically only one option: a 150-meter tall tower across the river from Kim Il Sung Square. With the support of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who has vowed to give North Koreans more modern and "cultured" ways to spend their leisure time, a Pyongyang flying club has started offering short flights over some of the capital's major sights.

Now, if you have the cash, you can climb into the backseat of an ultralight aircraft. With the support of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, who has vowed to give North Koreans more modern and "cultured" ways to spend their leisure time, a Pyongyang flying club has started offering short flights over some of the capital's major sights.
