Americans scream tyranny is wonderful, but Americans are unable to explain why Cubans try to escape even though Cuba has gun control and free medical care.

@freepatriot I would say, for first offenses, we should bring back things like caning or a day in the pillory. That way it won't make them lose their job or house due to spending months in jail, but it will still be enough for most people to snap out of it and cut it out. Although for drugs it is a little trickier, since if they are clear addicts, they should probably be locked up in rehab so they get clean. So they would still lose their job or house most likely due to their absence. Thank you friend.

This is false. They decriminalized use, but not production or sale, which is the side of the market that actually matters if you're trying to properly align incentives. Alcohol and cigarettes aren't not laced with fentanyl out of the benevolence of the brewers and tobacconists, rather because they have reputations in the legal market that enforces quality. This simple market mechanism is removed when you force an industry underground. It is not an accident that neither before nor after, but only during prohibition was there a non trivial chance booze would make you blind.
