Naturalist remedies are popular in China. So I figure fungus(LSD and shrooms) and weed could be among the first psychedelics that will be legally distributed. I have no idea how far in the future.

Thc oil was “ legal” at some point mid 2000. Now it’s ban iirc.

There is also a AIDS epidemic in Yunnan as a consequences of poverty and drug laws

What drug laws?

Somebody can look it up but some Chinese scientists are doing research to create medication derived from psychedelics without the tripping part

I like this way better than just advocating for psychedelics themselves because bad trips are fucking terrifying and can easily set somebody back way worse than they were before

I got sober recently because of a bad trip

I'm sorry, that sucks the bad trip turned you away from drugs. Nobody should have to go through life completely sober

Idk I just realised I didn’t want to be high all the time anymore. I also thought it would make me less miserable, it didn’t. I don’t feel the need to socialise anymore though which is interesting and I don’t feel lonely anymore.

The primary (and, really, only) reason why I wouldn’t want to live in China is that I wouldn’t be able to smoke weed.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

Like most places on earth you probably can smoke weed just not legally.

curious how the legal penalties for posession of these illegal substances compares to the USA.

In China, are doctors allowed to prescribe any drug if they think that's what the patient needs?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

I don’t think they ever will dude.
