Underrated comment. The Chinese - one of the oldest and most powerful civilizations on earth - was brought to its knees for a hundred years by Opium.
Their 'century of shame' is central to the identity of the modern Chinese state, and is a significant part of why they execute drug traffickers in their country..... while exporting synthetic opioids to the west.
This is where Western libertarians will never ever see eye to eye with the East.
Even the most hardcore freedom loving Orientals will turn away from the legalization of drugs, the whole continent remembers the legacy of the Opium Wars.
