Lol

if boobs are round so must the earth

So the british wanted tea

China didnt give tea

British angry

British sell opium

China angry

China ban opium

The British dominated ALL TRADE, not just opium not just tea, they had control of the cotton and spices in the West Indies, the ivory in south Africa, the slaves from West Africa

People still used it

China ad

mad

China war

Opium wars

east india trading company

same british corp that ran slaves

I told you, the Chinese over-produced opium and their soil got bad so they started importing it from Rangoon, Singapore and the Philipines

100% spot on @!GPT

It was banned

Absolutely correct @!GPT

Opium was banned in china

Eventually it was yes

Before the wars

pirates were also hereos

But you're ignoring centuries of opium trade history prior to that

attacking ships too free enslaved ppl

what a bunch of jerk

When the british started exporting to China it quickly got banned

s

they didnt have opium before that

Yes Pirates used to lurk in the south china sea and attempt to raid trade ships packed to the brim with opium bound for Europe and America

Opium has been around for a very very VERY long time

Not in china

the international opium trade however is only about 500-600 years old, by sea at least

People were bringing black on camel 2,000 years ago through parthia

Check out the "silk road"

they found opium and cocaine in egyptian mummies noses

so

You don't hear about the chinese ships any more because the British and Portuguese hammered the fuck out of them with gunpowder and lead balls

@Seeker of Truth expensive but very precise

essentially an over-powered CRT monitor

Way more precise than a domestic drill press

Opium was used for medicine before the british

No it was used by the hookers in the whore houses millennia ago

medicine yeah right

It was mixed with drugs in like the 17 century

where do you take your "facts" from?

Opium has been around like since forever

The past 500 years however saw the birth of "globalization"

For

medicinal

purposes

Shut the fuck up, you don't know what raging smack heads are even like

They are drug addicts

You're lost buddy

You just said it wasn't for medical purposes and then you posted an article that says it's for medical purposes

We used to grow Opium here in Cyprus 3 millennia ago

China however was at one time able to produce massive quantities of it and the European ships could carry large quantities long distances and weren't sunk to the bottom of the sea.

Because they had cannons

Incredible

Oh they had cannons "millenia ago" ?

No 2 millennia ago they would have had the ballista

2 millennia ago they couldnt sail to europe

Yes, and that's clearly not a cannon

^

No they didn't but they traded with Parthia via camel back, Parthia traded with India and Persia, Persia traded with Armenia, Armenia traded with Rome.

If you're trying to tell me Opium DID NOT EXIST in Europe 2 millennia ago, you are sorely mistaken

And as for "medicinal purposes" explain that to the police

I didnt say that

You just posted an article saiyng it was for medicinal purposes

You said cannons existed a millennia ago. That's 1 000 years

It did exist

Yeah yeah we alll know "medicinal purposes" is just a crock of shit to say you're smoking it for recreational use.

Sure thing buddy

So why is this guy going to court for using Marijuana for "medicinal purposes" ?

Did that happen 1000 years ago?

That's why cancer patients smoke weed, it doesn't help ease the pain at all

i dont think so

No the international opium convention to outlaw mariuana cocaine and opium/heroin is only about 100 years old or so

The "war on drugs" is relatively new

But yes china were the first to do it

So im pretty sure we are talking about 0-1700 China not 100 years ago

0 didn't exist

wait what is the discussion about

1 AD and before that 1 BC

We're talking about ancient history of the Opium Trade

Rome knew of the existence of China through word of mouth, but it wasn't until the Byzantium period they had managed to send monks to smuggle silk worm out of china and it took 2 years to trek on camel to go from Constantinople to china and back

A sail ship in the 17th century could make the trip in a few months

I love how you just change the topic when you are losing

i gtg

my testies around so that explains the sun and moon

Also cannons sort of did exist 1000 years ago, they had polished stones, bamboo and gunpowder in China
