June is the national anti - drug publicity month in China.

The Anti - Drug Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that

The anti - drug work shall follow the principle of prevention first, comprehensive governance, and simultaneous implementation of measures to ban the cultivation, production, trafficking, and use of drugs.

How much do you know about anti - drug knowledge and the consequences of drug - related violations?

Let's take a look together.

Be vigilant against "stamp drugs". Can you get poisoned just by touching the skin?

The "stamp drugs" are laced with LSD (also known as lysergic acid diethylamide, a powerful semi - synthetic hallucinogen). Pure LSD is a colorless, odorless, and slightly bitter solid. This new - type drug is often absorbed on absorbent paper with special patterns, so it is commonly known as "stamp".

Lysergic acid diethylamide is a Class I psychotropic substance in the catalog of psychotropic drugs, and China has stopped producing and using such drugs. Therefore, LSD hallucinogen is considered a drug in the legal sense.

LSD is usually taken orally. Although the claim that you can get poisoned just by touching the skin may be an exaggeration, its toxicity cannot be underestimated. Its toxicity is three times that of ordinary ecstasy. It is the world's most powerful hallucinogen. A typical dose of just a few dozen micrograms is enough to cause hallucinations, which is only one - tenth the weight of a grain of sand. The toxicity can last for 6 - 8 hours. After use, it usually causes strong changes in senses, feelings, memory, and self - awareness. The strong hallucinations can cause great psychological落差 for users.

Du, a member of the band FuluShou, participated in the program "The Band's Summer" and became well - known for the song "Yuzhen". However, due to suspected drug - related crimes, on January 4, 2021, he was accused of smuggling drugs by the Fourth Branch of the People's Procuratorate of Beijing. In December of the same year, the Fourth Intermediate People's Court of Beijing sentenced Du to one - year imprisonment and a fine of RMB 10,000 for the crime of smuggling drugs.

The judgment shows that on January 4, 2021, the defendant Du contacted an overseas seller via WeChat and purchased a total of 9 pieces of stamp - shaped "LSD" from the United States and smuggled them into China by mail. On January 26 of the same year, when the express package passed through Tianjin Customs, suspicious drug - related items were found during the inspection and were then transferred to the Anti - Smuggling Bureau of Beijing Customs for handling. On January 29 of the same year, the Anti - Smuggling Bureau of Beijing Customs arrested Du, the actual recipient, at the receiving address on Liujiaoyao East Road, Fengtai District, Beijing. After weighing and identification, the net weight of the "LSD" seized in the express package was 0.13 grams, and lysergic acid diethylamide was detected. All the drugs involved in the case have been seized by the police.

It is worth noting that as a public figure, being involved in drug - related crimes has brought great negative impacts to society.

Not getting involved with drugs or taking drugs is not a high moral standard for public figures, but a moral and legal bottom - line that every citizen should adhere to. Drug - related activities are a red line that no one is allowed to cross!

Even one gram of "high - feeling e - cigarettes" can lead to a crime!

E - cigarette oil has become the main carrier of synthetic cannabinoids due to its ease of transportation and use. The drug - using and drug - trafficking groups call it "high - feeling e - cigarettes" and claim that smoking "high - feeling e - cigarettes" is "safely getting high" and "legally getting high", luring or even deceiving people with weak drug - prevention awareness to smoke them.

The synthetic cannabinoids in high - feeling e - cigarettes are artificially synthesized chemical substances. Smoking synthetic cannabinoids can produce a more intense sense of pleasure than natural marijuana. It has become the family with the largest number of substances and the most serious abuse among new psychoactive substances. Long - term smoking can lead to cardiovascular diseases and mental disorders, and there is also a risk of cancer.

On July 12, 2021, Du reached a deal with Chen, a buyer in Sanya, Hainan Province, on three "high - feeling e - cigarettes" on the WeChat platform. Chen paid Du RMB 2,400 in one lump sum via Alipay. Then Du placed an order with SF Express under the false name of "Chen Beibei".

Yuan, knowing that they were drugs, delivered the three "high - feeling e - cigarettes" to the courier as instructed by Du and mailed them to Sanya, Hainan Province. After the batch of "high - feeling e - cigarettes" was delivered to the SF Express business point at Lane 5, XX Road, Jiyang District, Sanya, Hainan Province, they were seized by the police. After identification by the Forensic Science and Technology Institute of the Ministry of Public Security, the three e - cigarettes mailed and sold by Du to Chen were found to contain synthetic cannabinoids (ADB - BUTINACA), weighing 0.92 grams.

Du was convicted of drug - trafficking and sentenced to three - month detention by the court.

According to the Announcement jointly issued by the Ministry of Public Security, the National Health Commission, and the National Medical Products Administration on including synthetic cannabinoids and 18 other substances in the Supplementary Catalog of Controlled Non - Medicinal Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances, since July 1, 2021, all varieties of synthetic cannabinoids have been considered drugs in the legal sense. Those who sell products containing psychoactive substances such as synthetic cannabinoids after this date are suspected of drug - trafficking crimes.

New - type drugs such as high - feeling e - cigarettes are more deceptive and addictive than traditional drugs, and are more harmful to the human body. They are particularly likely to target young people. Do not accept cigarettes from unknown sources. Be extra vigilant against cigarettes with novel packaging and do not be deceived, so as not to give drug dealers and drugs a chance to harm you.

Don't even touch a single drop of "fairy water" or "obedient water"!

This "fairy water" is not the ordinary one. It is a central nervous system depressant. Its scientific name is "γ - hydroxybutyric acid", which belongs to the Class I psychotropic substances under China's control. Taking "γ - hydroxybutyric acid" can cause symptoms such as temporary memory loss, nausea, and vomiting. It is often used by criminals as an anesthetic or a date - rape drug. Therefore, it has become a notoriously well - known date - rape drug.

At the end of August 2021, the Public Security Bureau of Fengcheng City organized a sewage test across the city. The test report showed that the content of "γ - hydroxybutyric acid" in a certain area seriously exceeded the standard. The excessive content of "γ - hydroxybutyric acid" indicates that there are people in this area suspected of abusing drugs containing "γ - hydroxybutyric acid."

An investigator from the Anti - Drug Brigade of the Public Security Bureau of Fengcheng City said. Combining the previous routine inspections and the results of this sewage test, the Anti - Drug Brigade judged that "γ - hydroxybutyric acid" was present in the entertainment venues in Fengcheng.

On September 14, 2021, the Public Security Bureau of Fengcheng City organized police forces to conduct a comprehensive inspection of entertainment venues and brought back more than 60 people for investigation. Using various testing methods, it was found that the content of "γ - hydroxybutyric acid" in the hair of many people exceeded the standard, and they were indeed involved in drug - taking.

Tu and others gradually emerged. They often hung out in entertainment venues and made profits by selling drugs. After purchasing "γ - hydroxybutyric acid", they mixed it into milk tea and iced black tea to make "drug - laced drinks".

The Public Security Bureau of Fengcheng City reported this case as a ministry - supervised case. As of December 26, 2021, public security departments in various provinces and cities had successively arrested more than 50 criminal suspects in Jiangxi, Guangdong, Chongqing, Anhui and other places. Among them, the Public Security Bureau of Fengcheng City arrested 20 criminal suspects and had transferred them for review and prosecution. (Source: China Anti - Drug Network)

For your own safety, when you are in a complex environment, do not let your drink out of your sight, and do not eat any food, drink, or pills given by others. If you find suspected drugs or drug - related personnel, report them to the public security organs in a timely manner while ensuring your own safety.

It is illegal to grow even one poppy plant!

Poppy is the main raw material for making opium and the main plant for extracting the drug heroin. It cannot be planted at will. In daily life, most people think that planting a small number of poppies for feeding animals or self - treatment does not violate the law. However, it should be reminded that "ignorance of the law is no excuse". According to the Anti - Drug Law of the People's Republic of China, the state exercises control over the cultivation of narcotic drug raw plants and prohibits the illegal cultivation of poppies.

Growing poppies for medical treatment?

One day in March 2021, Zhu*e found that a wild poppy plant had grown in the vegetable garden behind her house at No. * Yanqing Road, Longquan City. Zhu*e thought that this poppy plant would be beneficial for her husband's medical treatment, so she cultivated it in her vegetable garden and fertilized and watered it.

On April 21, 2021, it was discovered by the public security organs. When discovered, there were 2 poppy plants growing in Zhu*e's vegetable garden (one of which had 2 poppy fruits and 1 poppy stamen; the other had 4 poppy fruits and 2 poppy stamens).

Zhu*e's act has violated the provisions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Public Security Administration Penalties, and constitutes the illegal cultivation of drug - producing plants. After verification, Zhu*e's act is of relatively minor circumstances. It is decided to impose an administrative penalty of a fine of 200 yuan on Zhu*e and confiscate the two poppy plants.

Growing poppies for raising chickens?

A resident in Pudong New Area, Shanghai, grew poppies in his own farmland. At that time, the poppies had not yet blossomed or borne fruit. After counting, there were as many as 529 plants in total. Gu said that the purpose of growing poppies was also because he had raised nearly 50 chickens before. As long as the chicks ate the poppies, they would not have diarrhea, get sick, and would be in better spirits, which was conducive to raising them. Currently, Gu has been prosecuted on suspicion of the crime of illegally cultivating drug - producing plants.

According to the provisions of the Law of the People's Republic of China on Public Security Administration Penalties, for the illegal cultivation of less than 500 poppy plants, a fine of not more than 3,000 yuan may be concurrently imposed; if the circumstances are relatively minor, detention of not more than 5 days or a fine of not more than 500 yuan shall be imposed: if the plants are voluntarily uprooted before maturity, no penalty shall be imposed. More seriously, according to the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, if a person cultivates more than 500 but less than 3,000 poppy plants or a relatively large quantity of other drug - producing plants, or cultivates them again after being dealt with by the public security organs, or resists uprooting, he shall be sentenced to public surveillance, criminal detention or even fixed - term imprisonment.

It should be noted that if people do not understand anti - drug knowledge, have no awareness of prevention, do not master anti - drug skills, and are exposed to the threat of drugs, they may be harmed by drugs. The pleasure brought by drugs may be momentary, but the consequences need to be borne for a lifetime.
