Users are rehabilitated rather than imprisoned, though the sale of "fraudulent medicines" (as illegal drugs are technically categorized) is a crime. Cannabis is legal and can be bought in tobacco shops, and can also be prescribed by a physician to treat medical conditions, in which case it is provided free of charge under the national health insurance program.

1Opium smoking only
Most drugs are illegal under Xiaodongese law which enforces mandatory sentencing if one is caught in possession of illegal drugs. Recreational use is limited to alcohol, caffeine and opium smoking which is seen as a cultural tradition in Xiaodong. Although laws regarding illegal drug use and possession are seen as harsh, enforcement is often weak especially in rural areas.
