In this Jan. 9, 2017, photo, a saleswoman holds up a locally produced t-shirt made out of Hemp in Pyongyang, North Korea, which has been getting some pretty high praise lately from the stoner world.

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)
