Marijuana attorney, can I be punished even if I bought it without knowing it was marijuana?

I lent a fairly large amount to an acquaintance but didn't write a loan agreement, so there's insufficient evidence to prove it. They deleted all the KakaoTalk messages where they asked to borrow money and promised to repay by a certain date. Can this conversation content be recovered through KakaoTalk forensics?

Hello. This is the marijuana attorney from Daeryun Law Firm (LLC).

To get straight to the point, you can be subject to punishment even if you bought a product containing marijuana ingredients without knowing.

According to the Korean Narcotics Control Act, importing, purchasing, or consuming cannabis-containing products that have not been approved by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety can constitute illegal acts.

Additionally, no one is allowed to possess or use narcotics (including marijuana), and providing related places, funds, transportation means, etc. is also prohibited by law.

Violations of these laws can result in imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 50 million won.

* However, administration and possession for official duties, academic research, or medical purposes are excluded.

As shown, products purchased overseas require attention even before entering the country.

Since accurate fact-finding and prompt response can have a major impact on future punishment levels, we recommend requesting assistance from a marijuana attorney.

Please consult with a marijuana attorney for detailed matters.
