Drugs propagate with a logistical growth curve. The only reason it didn’t happen here is because our government stopped it before it got too far.

China’s problems are not because of any freedoms with drugs. The political system, corruption, lack of opportunity, poverty, etc. Is the root of their drug addicts problems.

No, it's the drugs. Japan had a similar system of control as China, but Japan didn't destroy itself because 1/2 of it's population wasn't on drugs.

It is not a fair comparison in the least.

It is exactly a fair comparison, and you don't like it because it disproves what you wish to believe.

Any society that allows unfettered drug usage will collapse. Even Switzerland's little mini experiment showed this to be true.

"Needle Park", Platzspitz, Zurich Switzerland.

Actions against drugs didn't start until decades after the war ended.

Where's the evidence for a logistical growth curve between the end of the Civil War and the first federal anti-drug laws decades later?

From your link: 'At any one time there around 25% of all “inhabitants” were foreign'.

Sounds like the Needle Park policy relocated rather than grew drug use.

I disagree.

It is interesting local governments in America are giving away needles to hard core drug addicts living in the street. Even give them money, health care, food cards, etc. But be a tax paying responsible citizen with a pot plant they will bust down your door, shoot your dog, take away everything you own including your freedom. Maybe even your life.

So you say the government needs to save us from ourselves? No, it is a money making enterprise. Or they would be going after those doing drugs in the streets. Not subsidizing them.
