I wasn’t bothered at all, haha. Especially coming down from stimulants, I’m actually pretty happy to talk and share.@sashazhao - thanks for your reply, I hope you are not too tired of us by now, and I also hope you can learn here at Bluelight as much as you share.
With the seeming hypocrisy of the government (we all know what that's like no matter the country) drug laws, is there much talk in Asia about the "golden triangle"?
And I'm also curious, how do they (the government, but citizens too im curious about) feel about the difference between amphetamines and methamphetamine?
Even as someone who really dislikes the Communist Party, I have to admit that the government is extremely tough on traditional drugs. The laws may lag behind, but the punishments are heavy enough to be a real deterrent. Even corrupt officials won’t touch controlled substances.
You have to understand, drug cases here aren’t calculated by purity but by total weight. A friend of mine got eighteen years just for selling and possessing synthetic cannabinoid vape juice.
Six hundred grams of diluted liquid—if I remember right, it was ADBB diluted 100x—was legally counted as the equivalent of 300 grams of heroin.
Eighteen fucking years.
Anyway, I’m getting off topic, sorry.
In Asia, when people talk about the Golden Triangle, it’s mostly about telecom scams. The image of the region is already so overexposed through news and movies that people don’t really think about it anymore.
I can’t speak for other countries, but I’m very sure that non-professionals in China don’t even know the difference between amphetamine and methamphetamine—honestly, even some anti-drug cops don’t.
That’s the result of excessive anti-drug propaganda without proper education. Drug use rates have dropped a lot, but it’s created new problems—basically RC abuse is much higher here than in many other countries.”
