Is there any drug use among young people in China

[yang88]

Dear cecil,
Thousands of young people in Russia are dying of drug use that it has become a national epidemic for that country? What about China? How has drug use impacted the youth of China? Thanks.

Dear Anon,
If one has read the history of China had its fair share of the `opium war' where, foreign countries sell opium to the country.
Many people became addicted and became a liability to the nation. This was quite sometime back before the communist took over China.
Opium dens were plenty and many people wasted their life.
Nowadays, there are still some of such illegal activity but a small percentage.
The deterence is that anyone caught selling or courier of the drugs get capital punishment.
I believe, China is relatively drug free as t does not have that many mafias that are rampant in Russia.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
