“so unless you want to live in North Korea.”
How about Singapore?

[nathanbedford]

Singapore is a smaller city state with draconian laws. For example, is it worse to get caught smoking a joint or to get caught throwing the butt of the joint on the ground?

Singapore is an Asian country which does not come from our Judeo-Christian, enlightenment background but is far more comfortable with authoritarianism than we are. I don't think you can have the kind of enforcement of drug laws that occur in Singapore without the whole panoply of laws enforced in Singapore. That is not our heritage.
