Tainted milk and donkey meat sold as beef. What could go wrong?
After China’s significant strides developing dog food and powdered milk.
I wondered if it wouldn’t help with gout.
Oh. I thought they were going to take over Doritos production.
That’s probably one of the reasons the Dems have been so pro-legalization. If it were simply for medical purposes, it doesn’t need to be smoked: marijuana based painkillers and anti-nausea drugs (for people on chemotherapy) are already available in standardized, processed, prescribed pill form.
This was to open up the market. US tobacco companies have supposedly been pushing for this for years, with the progressive illegalization of tobacco, and there are obviously well-established foreign networks that would like to get in on the deal.
Interestingly, it is being legalized with no health requirements or standards, no restrictions (for example, intoxication for driving purposes), little way of checking except posthumously or after arrest for presence in the system, no price controls, no taxes, no nothing.
Personally, I think it’s because a stoned populace is a submissive populace, and also because while Islam prohibits alcohol, it runs on qat, hash, and many other drugs of this nature produced and shipped from Islamic countries or from Asia.
China sees what is happening in the West, and they hold a strong historical grievance for what happened in the Opium wars and afterwards - a British and French forced monopoly of opium trade into China, which they blame for the weakening of their culture and societal and government chaos that followed for the next 100 years.
Its payback time!
And you thought Paraquat on Mexican pot was bad.
Then, along came the law and Robert Mitchum gained more fame for having smoked it and being sentenced to the Sheriff's prison North of Los Angeles. Story is at

It was an offense against freedom then, and still is now.
