        Do you think decriminalizing drug distribution/selling in China would be a good policy? Maybe marijuana but they're right to be paranoid about the possibility of Western powers flooding the country with hard drugs again.

            ok i am going to just be honest. I am a huge cannabis user. I am in my past other drug user. I WISH that we had not just a culture of genuine anti drug sentiment, but that i grew up in a place that did not give me direct access as a 13 year old.

            I understand where you are coming from, but the main way that drugs should be fought is thru meaningful life and work, which is what china is doing now.

            every solution has a major downside to it.

            drug prohibition doesn’t work unless you’re willing to go total scorched earth against both dealers and addicts. That’s actually how China dealt with their original opium problem.

            That's... not a great solution.

          It's still federally illegal, so the FBI can just no knock you if they want and put you in prison lol.

          Know a guy who worked on a grow op in a legal state and the feds showed up, killed his dog, and put him in prison for 8 months until his lawyer (that ate up all the money he'd saved) was able to get the charges dropped.
