Let us review the issue a little more deeply. Singapore HANGS a handful of serious criminals each year. The total number of people losing their lives to drugs is very limited as a result (including the criminals). In the US, mortalities from drug use as well as all the homicides in the drug trade add up into the 10’s of thousands annually.
Which policy is the deadly one???
Has this abated Singapore’s drug problems? No.
Has our WO(S)D abated the USA’s drug problems? No.
Mortalities from drug use are optional. Let the buyer/user BEWARE.
Mortalities from drug prohibition and the associated war on both sides of the issue is government-sponsored.
Well the obvious solution is for the US to make using and selling drugs illegal.
