Myanmar is now one of world’s top producer of opium post-Afghanistan decline. Despite myanmar having direct borders with China and India , I can’t find any drug crises there unlike fentanyl in US?
So to rephrase: “Why aren’t there a bunch of drugs getting into China/India and causing a drug addiction problem?”
Idk about India but:
Lmfao, you’d get disowned and kicked out if you got a drug addiction in a Chinese family… and then nobody would wanna associate with you…
Plus… a lot of surveillance cameras
Instead, people (usually males) go drinking alcohol and gambling (illegal in mainland, so they go to Macau (and maybe HK? idk if they have casinos)), also apparantly smoking (tobacco that is, since weed is illegal btw) is widespread… I’m so lucky that my dad doesn’t drink or gamble, oh btw I heard from a Fujianese classmate (in the US) that (if I remember correctly) apparantly his dad got into a fight in a bar and so that got him deported…
Also, if someone dies of drug overdose, that’s very shameful for the family so sometimes they get the person doing the autopsy (the coroner? mortician? or whatever you all it) or some government official to label it as “accident” or maybe “accidental poisoning” (via connections (GuanXi) and/or via bribery)
Suicide is also shameful so sometime they also get labeled as “accident” to avoid shame to the family.
