I have to keep reminding myself that China’s drug policy has its origin in historical trauma and the opinions of its people reflects that. They really think weed is like heroin or something it’s tragic.

Gonna go smoke some weed about it

    And I believe humans have been getting high for fun longer than we’ve been humans. All great apes consume mind altering substances recreationally, we’re not remotely special in that regard. Putting restrictions on who can get high and when is something that only occurred after humans had invented domination systems, and much like restrictions on who can have sex with whom and when, they exist only to strengthen the control of the ruling class.
