I've been told by someone with direct experience that Chinese people and cops don't really know anything about it besides the fact that it exists in the abstract and "a drug". If you're a Westerner the cops might come over and ask you about what you're smoking, but they probably don't want to deal with the paperwork or whatever. My source claims that they found a ~8 foot tall cannabis plant and brought it back on the tour bus to confused reactions.
I've read that possession is light for small amounts of drugs (although I don't think it mentioned weed in particular), but transport or sale may be eligible for the death penalty.
My understanding is that "drugs" in general are very highly frowned upon as a result of the Opium Wars. There's not a whole lot more nuance to it (of course individuals will have their own opinions nons and experiences).
No I don't have sources, yes this is anecdotal, and please defer to literally anyone else if they contradict me.
On paper yes, I wouldn't mess with it personally. In practice, this is the experience that someone had that was related to me. If a cop hasn't actually smelled weed before, or maybe they did 10 years back when they were training, how are they really supposed to enforce it?
Who says people get busted by a cop smelling people passing a jay while walking down the street? The cops drug test, and if they catch one they'll roll up the whole dealer network.
'Land Races' of cannabis are super sought after in the weed industry because they are not over-breed and contain very healthy genetic diversity. Most of the strains that are popular these days originate from only a few ancestor strains. It's interesting because archeological finds in China have discovered the oldest evidence of ritual/medicinal use of cannabis. So maybe China weed strains will be a huge deal in the future.
I think the next generation of the CPC will quickly fix that. It seems that the youth caucus is very pro-LGBT which is good. As long as poverty stays low and the secular shift in the peasantry continues, I can see it happening very soon.
I can't find anything on their websites (don't really know how to search for it because I don't know what to look for), there's this article showing that there's a growing movement for LGBT rights.
My only other evidence is a large amount of Twitter accounts that claim to be CPC youth leauge members with rainbow flags in their bio lol. I'd anyone here is able to do the research and find out just how active the youth are in this movement of be very interested to read about it.
Not that I can claim exlertise but feom the relorts I have seen they aren't anti lgbt tbr way our conservatives twnd to be. What I hear about the most is the wanting grandkids no matter what part. Going from 15 kids on a farm to one child policy probably stessed some old their boomers out to the limit

Weed is.... Well a weed all over the Himalayan region.
Yeah, it's shit too. The weed in the west has been carefully cultivated for decades. This is wild weed. Liberty Haze this is not.
Imagine the difference between apples cultivated in orchards and the kind of apples they had in the middle ages.

Still, good luck regulating it.

I really hope so because a country of over a billion people opening up to LGBT rights would be amazing
