5 Reasons Chinese Goverment Should NOT Legalize Marijuana

"Drug" is translated to "poison" in Chinese when it comes to recreational use. Not only the drugs themselves, but also any drug related discussions and debates are strictly forbidden in China.

The propaganda against drug use is so strong that most mainland Chinese not only have no idea what drug is but also try to avoid any drug related discussion, anyway, only stupid people want to talk about "eating poison".

So it's interesting to think about what will happen if the government legalize some relative harmless drugs, like, marijuana~?

of course they will never do it. I list my top 5 reasons.

#5 People will be so pissed off because
The government put almost no restrictions on tobacco and alcohol use,no matter what's your age, no matter where you are... this is the most important reason why there are 300million people addicted to tobacco, and more than 1million people die from alcohol related disease or accidents every year. anyone has dinnered with local government officials knows most of them like forcing people to drink Chinese wine with 52% ABV,they are just so crazy about cigarettes and alcohol. but at the same time the government runs a ridiculous propaganda against other drugs and heavily punish any people commit an offense. what a weird country...

#4 Why to have problems with lots of money
The tobacco industry brings billions of billions of money to the government every year and shit loads of people work for the state owned tobacco company. and the economy of several provinces heavily rely on tobacco and alcohol. so at least they don't want any drugs can be easily home made...


#3 The opium war...
Every Chinese starts learning "You must love Communist party" kinda things since first grade, and almost all of those things start with the "shame" during Opium war...so the government links their legal status to what they had done to get Chinese out of that miserable "drug" life 100 years ago...

#2 subculture
"Every culture and subculture gets the drugs that it deserves," writes Douglas Rushkoff in his forward to Tim Pilcher's <>, In fact, almost every major cultural movement in history can be traced back to the chemicals it did or did not have. Obviously the CCP doesn't like culture, so they lead the Culture Revolution and then set up a Ministry of Culture to ban all the culture.

#1 It organizes people
Anything that can organizes people are strictly forbidden in China, like facebook and twitter something are seriously blocked by GFW and even cellphone texts are censored nowadays.
how many people are prone to get addicted to drugs in China?imagine the on line computer game addicts in China is 10 times more than the rest of the world combined. How much more fun it is to get stoned than on line computer games?
Imagine again a China's 420 smoke out day, that will be the first thing the government can not control in China
