People think our efforts to stop the population from using drugs are a disaster, but this is because they are ignorant of what happened to China because they allowed drugs.
People don't learn from history. They think the world began when they were born.
The lack of a war on drugs for over a century did not destroy the United States.
People don't learn from history.
The irony is priceless. Particularly given your adamant refusal to learn anything from the history of Prohibition.
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.
China is a mess. Not because of drugs. The addicts are the symptoms only. Freedom is not something China allows. It is not a fair comparison in the least.
