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.
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.
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.
You know how most people are like four or five generations removed from living off thr land directly? China got half that going. They are making great progress
Cause their material conditions are advancing far faster than a culture can assimilate I mean. So there are weird artifacts like this that will likely self resolve over time.
What guy are you talking about? Are you referring to the countries of US and China as "guys"? America is a first world, imperialist country and China is a developing nation not far removed from when it was dominated, exploited and impoverished by those countries. Of course we don't judge them by the same standards, that's idiotic.
any nerds who DO want to get mad at china for not making drugs legal-
O P I U M
