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.
