My solution, which will displease both the pro- and anti- WODers:
1. Legalize the growing of pot solely for one's personal use.*
2. Anyone selling pot once should be publicly beaten. Anyone selling a few times, death penalty.
3. As for s**t like meth, first offense public beating, second, death penalty.
4. Same as #1 for opium, same as #2 for for opium, same as #3 for heroin and other hard drugs.
*Same for alcohol, if we want to be consistent.
It won't happen, of course. But it would work. Also, if the government keeps subsidizing drug users/losers via social services, new generations of drug users/losers will keep magically appearing.

But it would work
China tried that. They executed several hundred thousand drug addicts from 1949 to the late fifties. Drug use increased!

I'd vote for your proposition.

What about those of us with black thumbs? I can kill cactus and aloe vera. Can't we work out a deal where (say) we can "buy" from someone else who's good at growing, perhaps not with cash or legal tender but by barter? I'm aces at all kinds of activities that don't involve keeping plants alive.

What if you don't sell it, but just give it away?
