Volcel jokes aside, that's unfortunate.
Overall, I do think China is on the right track. but they def. have their issues with trying to legislate morality a little too much.
I don't think Gianna Michaels/hentai is going to inspire the populace to take up arms in a capitalist revolution.
I'm not talking about how dangerous the drug in itself is. I'm saying that a bunch of westerners grousing about Chinese policies towards marijuana is kind of a bad look. If the Chinese people feel differently towards marijuana than we do, we should just try to understand where they're coming from and respect their laws and preferences, instead of judging them.
I agree that it can be a bad look and that there are more important things to focus on. But ideally, it ought to be decriminalized. I don't really disagree with your stance with that clarification, I think I just found the phrasing a little weird.
