Reply to comment by verifjah in I used to regularly trip acid in Shanghai with one of TikTok’s head data scientists. by [deleted]

Not true. I lived in Shanghai as a teenager from 2013-2018 and there is a massive drug scene. The police look the other way if you’re an expat kid or a Chinese person with money.

Until 2018. No more drugs, dry as fuck now. There was a huge shakedown throughout the country to eliminate drugs and gang activity . Shanghai was lit back in the day haha

I don’t know what it’s like now with cameras pointing every direction and their social ranking system but while I was there we could be a group of underage kids and get into nightclubs. I’ve been so fucked up there that I was walking through the streets like a QWOP character and nothing happened.

I’m sure there are people they make an example out of sometimes.
