Not gonna lie, the John Foster Dulles name-drop made me do a spit take. This author has gotta be one of those old as fuck Kissinger types. Let's check his Wikipedia:

In Patient Zero (2003) and Narcotic Culture (2004), Dikötter posits that the impact of the prohibition of opium on the Chinese people led to greater harm than the effects of the drug itself.

what-the-hell

prohibition of drugs in the countries i'm familiar with has been worse than the drugs shrug-outta-hecks

And those prohibitions didn't even result in Britain invading, which can't have been good for anyone's health

There's zero chance this guy applies the anti-prohobition argument to the imperial core
