In this episode of Finding Formosa, “High Stakes,” we confront the fierce debate surrounding Taiwan’s zero-tolerance cannabis policy in a time of global change. With the government steadfast in its stance that cannabis poses a significant risk to public health, Operation 0305 — a sweeping anti-cannabis bust involving over 1,600 officers — signals an unwavering commitment to enforcement, regardless of shifting attitudes worldwide.
Amid calls for reform from the Green Wave movement and advocates pushing for cannabis decriminalization, this episode examines the growing divide between state policy and public opinion, exploring whether Taiwan’s stance is a necessary protection or an increasingly isolated position in a world moving toward legalization.
