Our drug problem could be resolved if we followed Singapore's example of handing the death penalty to those that either use or sell drugs. I may be the only one who thinks this way but it seems a bit extreme to advocate death for drug users.

I’m not sure if Singapore has the death penalty for drug users, but drug pedaling and possession at an entry point to the country is going to get the person caught, death.

It's not appropriate for your teen pot loser but what do you do with violent abusers who spurn treatment? What do you do with a woman who abuses crack or other hard drugs during multiple pregnancies? Sure you can take the children when they're born addicted but what about the next one? And the next?
I know of one local case where, in the past 10 years, she's had at least three (perhaps four now) children born addicted and she still goes forth undeterred, living free like you and I do. All of these children have learning and/or psychological problems directly related to in utero exposer. We should not tolerate this recidivism any more than we should tolerate that of child molesters.
Persistent activities like these along with willfully deceptive exposure of another to HIV should not be treated with kid gloves. Such "compassion" is delusional and destructive.

I agree. In fact, the whole WOD is un-Constitutional.
