Contrast this with a free country, which we are supposed to be, where the individuals rights are supposed to be paramount, and you are supposed to be free to make even stupid decisions.
I must've missed the episode where Judge Judy condemned someone to death .......
That was once true of alcohol dealers. Oddly enough, today the alcohol dealers coexist peacefully, often within sight of each other.
Huh.
When I worked in Saudi Arabia, they were some guys at work who went to the executions every Friday. I went once, saw a double-header, and that was enough for me.

“The Chinese have used this approach for drug dealers for decades. It hasnt eliminated drug trafficking, but their problem is nothing like it is in most countries.

Yeah but why are cartels still making a fortune off illegal?

And no one ever got beat up or assaulted by a pot head.

We were assured there would be no problem with addiction
What a lie...but loose enforcement of drug possession laws has a role also...not to mention the constant glamourization of being whacked out on psychotropics...
