Seriously, if you're a celeb over there and caught smoking a joint, your career is basically over.
Even the infamously prudish U.S. is more accepting of it.
I'm guessing it's a leftover of U.S, imperialism, like how all their porn is still censored.

I agree about overstating Confucianism, which doesn't explain how 1/3 of China could get addicted to opium if it's such an "individualistic" thing.
It's 100% the legacy of the opium wars. Funny thing though, Chinese culture doesn't care nearly as much about weed as South Korea, Japan, or Singapore. Marijuana grows wild in southwest China and little old ladies will often sell it in on the side of the road in places popular with foreign tourists.
