Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Beijing says US legalization of marijuana is a ‘threat to China’
Ordinary civilians usually aren’t allowed to possess or use guns and cannabis in most of the countries without permission or prescription. However, presently in the US, people can carry guns and even machineguns in most of the states and possess and use marijuana at least in 10 states. Though it is not part of the ongoing trade war, China accuses the US of increasing cannabis trafficked to the country where smuggling, trafficking, and using drugs are severely punished, including the death penalty. Will the dispute escalate to another war like the Opium Wars in the 19th century?
In the meantime, the US has been criticizing China for uncontrolled production and distribution of Fentanyl, a painkiller 50 times stronger than morphine or heroin, to the country. It claims that one in four overdose deaths in the US last year was linked to the deadly strong painkiller.
Neither marijuana nor Fentanyl should be used as a tool for the trade war as both are a health issue for people.
Enjoy reading the article and think if other countries are witnessing a similar increase in drug smuggling and trafficking from North America.
