The Singapore anti-drug program reduced their drug addiction rate by 95% in 5 years. Simply put, it went something like this. Rehab the addicts and mandatory death for the traffickers.

Man. I thought that my dad was being harsh when he took my stash and grounded me for a week.

By then the boy said he’d learned his lesson. “This is embarrassing. I ain’t going to be doing it again,” the boy said. “Drugs are for losers. That’s all I can say.”
***Sounds like it had its intended effect. Love must be tough.

Norm MacDonald:

“My dad caught me smoking a cigarette. He took me to my room and made me smoke a huge cigar all the way down. That’s when I started smoking cigars heavily.”

“Then he caught me smoking a big old joint. He took me to my room . . . and injected me with heroin.”

Shame is a healthy emotion, when felt for the right reason - and there is no one who never had a right reason. Shamelessness - that’s unhealthy.
