Please quote stats for that. I've read the drug problem was reduced (at that time). At the very least, less drug addicts.

If people who want to be stoned and stupid can grow their own, just no selling, it takes the gangs and criminal element out. Same for opium. It's merciful to those who insist on wasting their precious human lives, and harsh to those who want to enrich themselves in the drug traffic. I say it's a good idea.

Google will give you 45,500 hits on it. China actually invented the title "War On Drugs". It began when the communists took over in 1949 and instituted the "Peoples War On Drugs".

The number of people executed range from the hundreds of thousands to millions. Amnesty International is actually more conservative than others in numbers executed, so I'll quote them below. Keep in mind that their War On Drugs has never reduced addiction and even they admit that. They continue to execute drug addicts today.

This is from Amnesty International's report to the UN, who supports China's War On Drugs. The communist countries and other repressive dictatorships, (Stalin, Hitler and Saddam Insane) for example, have always had a War On Drugs. We are the first free country in history to wage this kind of war on its own citizens.

"Amnesty International has recorded at least 2,960 death sentences and 1,781 executions in China in the three months from April to June 2001. These figures, taken from a limited number of sources, show that more people were executed in China between April and June than in the rest of the world for the last three years. Despite the massive use of the death penalty for drug-related offences reports still indicate that China's drug problem is continuing to grow."
