First of all, you need to understand that people who have the power to profit from coordinating RCs are fundamentally indifferent to profits at this scale. I won’t go into that here—it’s sensitive.can you explain why china, a country that despises all drug use, doesn't have an analogue act to prevent the use of research chemicals.
is it just "follow the money" that they get kickbacks financially from the rc industry?
so much cognitive dissonance.
At the societal level, things work like this: drug education in our country is exaggerated and indiscriminately demonizes all substances. This misleads most people. Yes, it effectively lowers drug use rates, but in less internationalized cities, both residents and police genuinely believe that ‘traditional drugs’ only mean cannabis, heroin, and methamphetamine—and that they are all equally harmful.
As a result, many people, including most drug users, have no concept of ‘legal highs.’ That didn’t really change until around 2018–2020. By then, traditional drugs had almost disappeared from the mainland, and sellers shifted their focus from export markets to the domestic one. That’s where our story begins.
China will, of course, ban RCs—but only after they have already spread widely within the mainland. The annual, batch-style scheduling of individual RCs or entire classes is inherently delayed and reactive.
