I wonder how much of it is stigma among the public. As a Chinese person, I can tell you that my parents and most people I know that grew up in China were very against the legalization of weed here in Canada.
My friend’s aunts from Qingdao were totally open to using CBD for pain relief. Since CBD doesn’t make you high like THC, I can see hemp being legalized, especially since hemp also has historical usage in TCM. Marijuana, though, I think won’t happen for a long while since seeing and treating the effects of opium addiction is in living memory. Some other friends who went to Tibet a few times did mention that there are some hookah cafes where there’s something other than tobacco in them

Interesting stuff!
Opium was a great pain for China, and Chinese have more memory than other people
Very good point and very true.
