Similar stuff happens over here in China as well. The drug laws are absolutely draconian, to the point where consumption is illegal - if you test positive you can get busted, even if the consumption took place outside the country. Possession of even very minor amounts of weed etc can land you in jail for years.
At the same time, it seems that many local skaters get so fascinated and come to identify so strongly with what they see of skate culture in the US and wherever else on insta that they forget where they are.
Which part of China do you live? I’m an American citizen but I love skating in China and Japan. Wonder how COVID restrictions are in China
i'm in Shenzhen. No Covid restrictions anymore, all back to normal

I've seen weed graphics on decks / wheels get censored on Taobao, very amusing.
Yeah, although it seems quite random, I think most people outside of some city youth into skating or other foreign youth culture stuff don't even really know that weed exists.
