please Xi, reclaim the mantle of destiny, cannabis with chinese characteristics could be a potent global force for good
“the plants were placed on heated stones in the braziers to produce smoke during ceremonies connected with burial of the dead.”

Due to recent history with opium I don’t see recreational usage happening any time soon, in that context I totally sympathize.
Hopefully the world as a whole including China will expand growing areas for industrial hemp due to its practical uses, regulate it as much as required for social-historic sensibility, low THC cultivars, etc. For example, hemp paper has less water consumption than tree paper, not to mention a few months vs a few yrs. There’s also other building and packing materials made from hemp which will be useful in getting away from plastics and other petrol products, even og stuff like canvas is good. Won’t save us from ourselves ofc, but its a tool we have.
i think for understandable historical reasons drugs are not very well accepted in China and probably wont be for a while, tho i think a large % of ppl do smoke weed in china? china is actually the largest producer of hemp and cbd in the world
Cannabis in modern China is mostly associated with Uygher people smoking hash. Drug use in general is pretty frowned upon outside of Euro/Anglosphere countries mainly because of colonial-imposed laws that cracked down on drugs from the 20th century Progressive era (thanks libs!)
Once China legalizes weed, every big American movie will have to have 5 minutes of weed jokes to appeal to Chinese sensibilities.
Every film will have a scene where they do fat bong rips or however weed will be used in China.
Do not pass go, do not collect $200, go directly to the mushroom goddess for she is the mother of consciousness.
