I'm not implying a value judgment about Singapore's drug policy. Drug policy is what I'd call a Wicked Problem[1] and there's no black and white 'right' thing to do. They might execute some drug dealers and imprison a bunch of people, but on the other hand they have drastically reduced overdose deaths, which in the US' 18-45 age group have killed nearly twice as many people Covid[2]. Is that an excuse for the authoritarianism? That's not a judgment I'm making, just pointing out that there are tradeoffs.
