He probably meant "not everywhere in China is like Shenzhen", not that Shenzhen isn't entirely in China.

Singaporean man executed for importing cannabis

If is was the case, I understand better the downvotes. That wasn't my intention de frame it like that, I'm against death penalty.

What I intended to say is that people who takes substances that impair their judgement, and go drive afterward are a danger to everyone around them. They should be sanctioned, just not by death penalty, which, again, make no sense whatsoever in any situation.

Cannabis isn't a harmless plant, unless it is a variety without THC (study: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9940647/). And I doubt a smuggler would import Cannabis without THC. Smuggled cannabis are almost always THC heavy plants, and considering how much he seem to have with him, he either intended to fly to the moon and back, or to sell it around.

Now, THC heavy cannabis is a problem because, like alcohol, it impair the jugement about how ready to drive one is, and I've seen many of my friends get into accidents because they thought they where somehow not affected by THC. My words were harsh, no doubt, but I never called for any of them to get death penalties.

Edit: drug resistance exists, of course, but isn't frequent. I happen to have a mild resistance to opioid based painkillers (found out after a surgery, worst pain I have been for a long time 😅)

Not going to bed and insomnia are two different things. Insomnia is a condition where you try to sleep, and can't. Not going to bed, well, is a choice.

In both cases, you can be held responsible if you end up falling asleep on the wheel while sleep deprived, and cause an accident.

Do you chose to take insomnia? I'd doubt that.

But to be clear : I am against death penalty. It robs any chance for someone to change for the better, and even the worst criminal can change and try to repair, even partially, the damages he did. In the current case the death penalty is way overblown. But not everyone would be of that opinion, unfortunately.

True.

That's just my own experience with my own potheads friends. Some of them who got into accidents because they thought they where better than other, and misjudged how much cannabis affected them.

Not everyone is like them, sure. But to this day I never met someone who act rational when under the influence of drugs. Maybe I didn't met enough drugs user, who knows.

In that case no. If I remember it well, Singapore is quite small, I suppose bike should be enough for most uses except if you have to move big things, or a lot of groceries, in which case cars makes sense.

In my case I have a cargo bike, and live near a mid-sized city, so I can just go do my groceries cycling. But someone who is further in the countryside wouldn't be able to. Partly because of the distance, no one want to do a two hours trip (or more) to buy groceries, but also because having cars zooming past you at 70km/h and more is kinda stressful.

Case is, cars have uses, cannabis too, but both shouldn't be used at the same time.

I agree with you on that. Weed shouldn't be illegal, no more that alcohol.

But saying that it has nothing to do with cannabis is a bit like saying alcohol as nothing to do either. The averse effects on attention is a direct consequence of those substances consumptions.

It the choice of the user to consume it or not, but as it also impair said persons sense of danger, the choice to go driving despite said substances consumption can partly be attributed to the substance itself.

As a cyclist, I'd agree, but there are many place where public transportation and bikes can't go, especially in the countryside. So cars make sense. Cannabis too, as it has a lot of medical uses. But cannabis in car are where it becomes a problem.

Got one removed too. Got prescribed parecetamol and tramadol (I think, that was years ago)...Learned that way that opioids has barely any effect on me. And that I barely felt a thing despite the healing process (don't search for it on the net, it can be quite graphic).I also learned I have quite the healing factor. Not the Wolverine level, but enough to heal faster than most people. Downside of it is that I scar really easily 😅.

Which is why I did not delete the post and commented instead. Technically it is against the rules, but interesting nonetheless, so I'd like OP to defend his post it order to promote a conversation on said topic, instead of doing a post&run.
