The National Post reports in its Wednesday edition that a week after Canada became the second country in the world to legalize recreational cannabis nationwide, only a few other countries have offered any public reaction. The Post's Marie-Danielle Smith writes that South Korea's government tried to dissuade its citizens from toking by tweeting on its Ottawa embassy's account last Tuesday, in Korean, that they would still be breaking South Korean law by smoking weed in Canada. "Even if South Koreans are in a region where marijuana is legal, it will be illegal for them to consume it," the tweet said. In a statement posted to the Russian embassy's Twitter account, officials said that it considers Canada's decision "unacceptable" and "hypocritical." The statement was posted in French only, catching the attention of such media outlets as the Journal de Montreal but escaping attention in English Canada. Even the UN is tut-tutting Canada. The United Nations body that governs international drug control, the International Narcotics Control Board, issued a statement last Wednesday reiterating its "regret" at the policy choice. Canada is violating its agreement to limit drug use "exclusively to medical and scientific purposes."
