No, evidence from China doesn't disprove a hypothesis about America.

You are an idiot, and not worth the trouble of arguing with. The only reason I ever bother to do so is because of your insistence on spreading garbage ideas which are detrimental to this nation and mankind in general.

I am not going to bother with your implied assertion that HUMANS in America are not susceptible to the same BIOCHEMICAL addictions as are HUMANS in Asia. It is the sort of thing I might expect out of a kindergarten child, but it is certainly not worth entertaining the idea for an adult.

Which doesn't contradict the fact that drug use and addiction are not solely about biochemistry.

Again, you are a F***ing idiot. You might as well say water doesn't cause "Wet." Do humanity a favor and Stop posting stupid crap.

I made no such implication - that's your functional illiteracy talking.

Here's what the American Society of Addiction Medicine says:

“Genetic factors account for about half of the likelihood that an individual will develop addiction. Environmental factors interact with the person’s biology and affect the extent to which genetic factors exert their influence. Resiliencies the individual acquires (through parenting or later life experiences) can affect the extent to which genetic predispositions lead to the behavioral and other manifestations of addiction. Culture also plays a role in how addiction becomes actualized in persons with biological vulnerabilities to the development of addiction.”
