Hello. I was caught for drunk driving and had my license revoked. I'd like to seek reduction or relief through a drunk driving administrative appeal, but I've heard there are many cases where relief is not granted. What are some cases where it's difficult to get relief in a drunk driving administrative appeal?

Hello. You inquired about drug punishment.

Even without using drugs directly, you can receive severe punishment just for possession alone.

Therefore, special caution is needed not to possess or use drugs.

In particular, in foreign countries where drugs are legalized, the risk of being unintentionally exposed to drugs may be higher.

Even if you use drugs in a country where drugs are legal abroad, you must remember that you can be subject to criminal punishment in Korea.

According to Article 3 of the Criminal Act, it is stipulated that domestic law applies even if a crime is committed outside the territory of the Republic of Korea.

Simply put, our country adopts the "principle of personality," so even if it is legal abroad, if you commit an act subject to criminal punishment under domestic law, you can be punished.

In addition, drug punishment may vary in severity depending on the type of drug used.

In the case of marijuana that you asked about, even simple possession, let alone use, can result in imprisonment of up to 5 years or a fine of up to 50 million won.

Drugs are crimes that result in severe punishment, so if you are involved in a drug case, prompt response is important.

I advise you to request assistance from a drug specialist attorney to grasp sentencing standards and establish a strategy to defend against drug punishment.
