    There is no way you just compared modern drugs and war on drugs on the fucking Qing China.

    Especially when there are MODERN examples of drug decriminalisation that work, like Portugal or Switzerland.

    You are either completely ignorant or stupid to ignore it and use a fucking ancient example instead

      Why not? The opium wars are a dark spot in Chinese history and the fascist CCP government is hell bent on “revenge” against the west for that. That’s why the CCP is exporting fentanyl to the west via shell companies and causing the modern opioid epidemic. I would like to see how decriminalization can deal with a targeted attack like that.
