You seem to be using the US as an example. Countless other countries have banned various drugs quite successfully. Singapore being just one of them.

Oh yes, let's all adopt the magical laws of Singapore and start beating people with sticks and HANG THEM for drugs.

Fucking ludicrous, how the fuck could you speak like Singapore's draconian laws are a good thing and they've 'successfully' banned drugs. By human subjugation.

Ok, in my defense, I was not aware of the drug laws in Singapore. That was a really really really bad example. Like holy shit they have the death penalty for 500 grams of weed WTF. And you're presumed guilty just for being around a location where drugs have been used. Yeah I agree that's madness.
