The status of drug use in [[Corumm]] has had many shifts in the last century or so. Use of recreative opioids was very common and legal during the late Qian period, with the [[Hongli]] emperor reportedly consuming them to counteract his frequent mental breakdowns during the [[Second Great War|war]]. The military governments that followed the monarchy tried hard to squash the use of drugs. They clamped down harshly on users, producers and traffickers when they could get their hands on them. Campaigns to burn opium poppy fields took place yearly, traffickers were hanged in public places in an effort to create fear, drug users were jailed or sent to mental asylums. These draconian methods failed to make a dent, the astronomical profits meant that new criminal outfits such as the National Opium Syndicate were undaunted. By the 1970's the war on drugs was quietly and reluctantly shelved, and from then on the problem was basically ignored. | The status of drug use in [[Corumm]] has had many shifts in the last century or so.

The arrival of the [[Party of | The arrival of the [[Party of Daxian Democrats|PCD]] brought a change in the approach to the drug problem. The new government saw drug use as an insidious tool to increase its grip on the population. The new and now ideologically motivated intelligence apparatus infiltrated groups like the National Opium Syndicate, but instead of being destroyed they were coopted and put in service of government aims. The crime bosses now had government minders and quotas to fill. | ||
