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.”
Hotboxing is older than Jesus
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!)
Taking a few edibles has turned me into the most Stereotypical Stoner Imaginable but I can’t for the life of me understand why this shit is illegal anywhere, never mind everywhere. In the US the war on drugs is obviously heavily racialized, but why does nearly every country on earth ban weed?

The UN has treaties requiring members to make drugs illegal.
After WWII, DuPont had nylon, but hemp was a superior fiber. They flexed their muscles, had hemp banned, and presto, a huge market for their new product.
I’ve never seen any evidence that this is true. My understanding is that the Prohibition enforcement people, at risk of losing their jobs on account of Prohibition ending, moved to criminalize other drugs, ultimately settling on cannabis because basically only Black and Mexican people used it at the time. That made it easy to convince white people to ban it with heavy-handed propaganda like Reefer Madness.
Imagine smoking strains named from passages of classical Chinese literature
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.
