Not convinced. Look at Singapore. I doubt they would care what the US does. Anyway, after the US legalizes everything for “freedom”, I’m not sure that many countries will follow suit.

You're wrong about that. Every non-theocratic/ hyper-conservative country will legalize it sooner or later

Hmm, the non theocratic countries like China represent the majority and I’m not sure they will do that…

China may as well be considered hyper-conservative in drug policy.

I believe it’s left wing authoritarianism. The government said it was bad, so everyone back the party line.

Yes and they are very conservative in many social policies, including drugs (conservative = maintaining ("conserving") the status quo).

Sure if you define conservatives to mean authoritarian leftists who want to conserve their rules and laws, I agree:

Nice snarky bad-faith response. It's obviously not what I said. I hope you get better at dealing with people who threaten your sense of superiority.
