Well, I don't think Singapore sets the death penalty based on dollar value of drugs.
And you ignored my comment on quantity.
Nobody is dealing in multiple kilograms of marijuana in Singapore. But that's super common in the US.
The government looked at what quantities users typically have versus dealers, and set the limit accordingly.
- skissane 3y ago> And you ignored my comment on quantity. Because, we are talking about a government killing people – I myself will say murdering people – over a plant. All your quibbles and defences are just irrelevant when you look at the big picture of what they are doing.
- refurb 3y ago> All your quibbles and defences We're not talking about a defense of the law, we are talking about Singapore's rationale of why they came up with those quantities. And I would have thought when I said "I don't disagree that the marijuana death penalty is excessive." it was pretty clear I don't agree with it. I personally feel that killing someone over smuggling is absurd. Jail them if you feel they need punishment, but killing them isn't justice.
