@0:22 there is an important error. The speaker says that opium was introduced into China by "Arab" traders. This is in fact not true. The Opium monopoly was controlled by the Sassoon family/dynasty, and although they lived in Iraq - they were Jewish.

The Colonial Era was driven by Jews.

I love opium tea and all opiates :) Just makes me smile.

Used responsibly, this is the most mellow and beautiful drug on the planet.

Can you all imagine if this had been the other way round! If China had traded drugs to the British and the British population had been addicted. The BBC and god knows all the media in the UK, would be banging on about the Opium War 24/7! I bet they'd even have a rememberance for the lives lost - it makes me puke! We would not have heard the end of it!
