POWs Smoked Marijuana In Prisons
Pfc Estle L Casper and Sgt Calvin C Hansen, U S prisoners in a Korea POW camp, say Americans smoked marijuana bought from North Koreans to endure life in captivity. Casper says he was sentenced to hard labor for trading for weed. Hansen notes monotony drove routine drug use among his company. He recalls two men in their unit who cracked mentally under the regime. Cooper, captured in 1950, warned Pro’s and claimed about 12 of 220 in First Company were progressives.
