“We can see once more how misleading it is to characterize countries as people. ‘China’ may seem to be monolithically opposed to legal marijuana but its entrepreneurial class is already anticipating the possibility of participating in a post-prohibition world. And in Canada, certain business interests are obviously pressuring the current regime to be more flexible about marijuana consumption, especially in small amounts. Analyze political behaviors or entrepreneurial activities from the standpoint of culture and people rather than ‘lines on a map.’ When it comes to marijuana or any other industrial trend – large or small – a look behind the “curtain” is both beneficial and enlightening.”
