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

5 Reasons Chinese Government Should Legalize Marijuana

Also, there are 5 Reasons they should legalize marijuana

#5 Save animals in the world
Legalizing marijuana will definitely trigger lots of debate about drugs the first time in China's history, some people will eventually know how to treat drugs with a scientific attitude, so there will be less people eating weird things in China eventually, you know , someone believe eating tiger's penis helps on bed, eating turtle helps living longer...animals are going to be all in zoos or on dinner tables in this way...

#4 tax income
Again, if even the on line computer game addicts are 10 times more than the rest of the world combined, how many pot addicts there can be in China?although the state owned cigarette company would see a huge profit cut, they can make more from issuing a drug tax.


#3 Hemp for Paper making
China is the most polluted country in the world, and people still want more from their land. Hemp has arguably been proven one of the best plant for forest and its high efficiency for paper making. This is exactly what we need.


#2 Better for themselves...
There is a smoking culture in government offices all over China if you don't smoke you're seen as a different guy and will never get promoted. so if you have to smoke something , why not marijuana,which has been proven less harmful than tobacco no matter in terms of dependence or physics harm.

#1 Relax People
There are tens of thousands of protests in China each year, most of them become serious riots eventually. if the CCP wants making more money , they have to keep fucking Chinese people, how can you calm down all those miserable lads? Get them stoned!

成都熊猫

我第一次也是唯一一次在成都体会到nightclub的快感就是两年前在成都，虽然全场只有十几个人，但是不管从音乐，还是跳舞的人，还是那种VIBE，都已足够在成都这种地方显得太过超前。

从十二点疯跳到三四点，还遇到了在北京玩white rabbit的人，太巧了。

遗憾的是，此后两次回成都，却发现成都这唯一一个CLUB却连十几个人都凑不够了，其它的地方，都是典型的中国所谓慢摇吧，也就是贵点的大排档而已。

所以今天在gochengdoo看到这样的REVIEW，难免遗憾，谁不希望家乡好呢。。

Basically that place is dying, thanks to the new owners. It breaks my heart to see Chengdu's only club with ok sound & dancefloor to be taken over by a bunch of tasteless douches. Oh and the drinks are horrible.


另外在这网上还惊奇的发现成都有个叫HEMP HOUSE 的地方，真不知道是怎么通过审批的，不过工商局的大妈们估计也不会知道这些。。。虽然我在成都从没遇到过stoner，但希望下次回去这个地方能丰富下我的过年生活。。。

4/20 pot smoke out day，哪里能参加啊

曾经在北京参加过一次4/20 smoke out party，胆战心惊，生怕被关起来。

也是在那时第一次对所谓drug产生了知识方面的兴趣

我觉得中共之所以如此宣传所谓drug, 把它搞成一种人人喊打的状态，有三个原因，一个是科普毒品就需要科普科学，科普科学就会开启民智。二是人HIGH过后我觉得会更去思考生活的真地，这样有可能更对现世不满。三是，没什么原因，就是一个政策惯性，必竟当年的执政合法性之一，不就是对外族的战争么。
