Chapter 437 Drugs or Substance Abuse
After the video finished playing, the next video was automatically played before Li Ranran had time to exit.
"Wtf? That's too fast!"
Li Ranran kept swiping right on the screen while cursing, trying to exit the video. However, the network connection was slow. After the connection was restored, Li Ranran was able to see the title of the video again.
"How come it actually jumped to Canada? Let's take a look."
【Take you to Canada】
(The video went black for a few seconds. As the tense and terrifying music entered, figures gradually appeared on the video screen. Almost all of them were lying in an irregular manner or curled up together. They were skinny, with bulging eyes and numb expressions...)
[Canada...University of Mali.
The streets are filled with homeless people and drug addicts.
“It’s an open-air drug market.”
If you show up here at night, you will probably die.
The drugs paralyzed their spines, making them unable to move.
The government spends billions of dollars every year to address drug abuse and homelessness, but to no avail.
＜Some of them are not the drugs we think of as marijuana, but are caused by the abuse of addictive drugs. Our country has strict control over this type of drugs, but foreign countries regard them as harmless and use neutral terms.＞
＜Emm, seeing them like this reminds me of the people who smoked opium in the late Qing Dynasty in the textbooks……＞
＜The people in the video are really weird [covering face] The human body is so flexible... It's completely due to the drugs that I have no feeling, I'm numb [sigh]＞
＜The Canadian government is also responsible. The solution they talk about is not to solve the problem from the source. They don’t want to control it. They just blindly ensure that these people who are homeless due to drug addiction can live to a certain extent.＞
＜I studied in Canada before, and I have a certain understanding of their policies. I feel that although Canadian policies guarantee their survival and allow them to live, it is more of a tacit acceptance and cruel inaction. The government has volunteers who distribute food and clothes to those people... But for drug addicts, these can be obtained without paying a price, which makes them even lazier and unwilling to quit drugs?＞
＜Agree! It’s all capital, it’s all business…Does the government dare to solve the problem at the source? Solve it…don’t let it get itself into trouble.＞
＜First, we need to investigate the companies and enterprises that prescribe drugs for abuse. They make a lot of money from it, and the homeless people continue to take these drugs. The government keeps the homeless alive, and the homeless people continue to look for drugs to take... It's a vicious cycle.＞
＜In our country, “drug” means drugs, and it also refers to drug use. Abroad, it is an ambiguous neutral term, “drugs are drugs” and “drug abuse is drug abuse”＞
＜The most important thing is that this place is the city center of Vancouver, Canada [covering face] and next to it is Chinatown. If you don’t check it clearly and go in by mistake, you can’t believe how scary it is [covering face]＞
＜Yilin, why don’t readers come out and take a walk? [狗头]＞
＜Not support English version [吃瓜]＞
＜It can’t be saved, it really can’t be saved. Many European and American countries have legalized marijuana… Sometimes I feel that it’s unlucky to live on the same planet with them [disdain]＞
[Song Renzong Zhao Zhen: Lying on the street, this doesn't affect the lives of the people? The government doesn't care?!]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: A country can even legalize drugs... The country is not thinking about solving the problem, but directly agrees?!?!]
[Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng: No matter if it's drugs or drug abuse, they've become the horrible look in the video, don't they really think there's a problem???]
[Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han: I totally agree with what Zheng Ge said. The harm of the fifty san and opium in the back is frightening, and I really want to stay away from them. But overseas, the government has never thought about solving the problem.]
[Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Xuanye: It's all capital, it's all business? So this is the difference between later China and other countries?]
[Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Hongli: I remember the great revolutions abroad. They talked about "freedom, democracy, equality"... I don't think it was what they said.]
[Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang: None of them is right! Are foreign governments controlled by capital, that is, businessmen? Can businessmen do this?]
[Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che: I am also confused... Looking at the history of China, the outstanding representative of merchants is Lü Buwei in the Qin Dynasty. Apart from him, no other merchant is as good as him.]
[Tang Kaiyuan 25th Year Zhang Jiuling: Corruption! Chaos! Such a country will be doomed sooner or later!]
[Kublai Khan: A country that does not learn from its mistakes in history will not go far.]
[Ming Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang: ??? This is what you said...]
[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin:?!?! This is something you can actually say...]
……
People watching this video under the light screen were deeply moved:
“Are our thoughts different from theirs?”
“Why do I think they are stupid?”
"I feel the same way... Sometimes when I watch videos about aliens in later generations, I wonder how they managed to survive for so long."
"I really can't figure it out..."
"Drugs really shouldn't be touched... But how should we understand the drug abuse mentioned in the light screen video?"
"This is actually a drug. Look, I remember when Guangmu was talking about Wu Shi San, he said it could be used as medicine to save lives, but the people in the upper echelons found that this thing could bring pleasure, so they took it every day regardless of whether they were sick or not... Over time, it became a drug, didn't it?"
"That makes sense. All questions can be answered by looking through history. Don't those foreigners care?"
"The people living under his rule are so miserable."
"That's right, what should we do?"
People of all dynasties had passionate discussions in their spare time.
……
Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng walked a few steps with his hands behind his back. "The government's attitude is linked to the capital behind it, and those who lie on the streets waiting to die have already been abandoned."
So what is the reason for this?
The other emperors also joked that even the emperors of the Yuan Dynasty knew to draw lessons from history, but those foreign countries did not understand this principle...
In short, this is what foreign countries are like.
Many people bet that the future development prospects of future generations will be good.
Because the surrounding countries are not smart...
……
Tang Dynasty, the fourth year of Zhenguan
Li Shimin shook his head and sighed: "There are big problems with those in power."
The ministers in the palace also nodded and expressed their opinions.
Before the Light Curtain appeared in the world, most people knew about the dangers of Wu Shi San but did not take it seriously, and considered being able to consume Wu Shi San a symbol of nobility.
But after the light curtain appeared, once the video of Wu Shi San was broadcast, the people of the Tang Dynasty avoided it.
Anyone who dares to take Wushisan again will be despised and discriminated against by the public. This has eliminated most of the followers at the social level.
Not many years had passed since then, and the ministers could still imagine the fate of those noble children who had taken Wu Shi San.
"What foresight..."
When a minister saw the Canadian video on the screen, he couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Bethune was from the same country, and he was noble and selfless, but decades later, his country has become like this... Do you feel heartbroken?"
"It's just that the government doesn't treat those people as human beings." But as soon as this sentence was uttered, the minister realized that he had said something out of turn and kept silent.
From the perspective of later generations, they were a feudal society, even worse than...
