As of March, China had more than 2.14 million registered drug users, according to China's Ministry of Public Security. That's a remarkable admission from the usually secretive government.
It's also a pragmatic acknowledgment of how ubiquitous and easy-to-obtain drugs have become in China. Dealers sell from street corners, from behind kebab stands, even — I've seen it myself — from a cart selling helium balloons.
Meanwhile, for those who prefer a less public buying experience, home delivery of just about any kind of illegal substance is typically just a click, text message, call or — depending on where one lives — shout out the window away.
