War on Drugs

Marijuana, other than medical marijuana, is not legal in California, but stars get away with having a guy deliver them pot in a delivery truck. Apparently stars can weed prescriptions without problem.

"While medical marijuana has been allowed under California state law for nearly 20 years, the City of Los Angeles passed Proposition D last year, intended to put limits on dispensaries. According to the city attorney's office, it also prohibits delivery services. And marijuana is, of course, still illegal under federal law.
Whatever the specifics of the law, patients appreciate the Speed Weed service."

The law doesn't apply to rulers, only to serfs.

War on drugs in China nets lots of celebrities. Apparently celebrities aren't considered ruler in China.
