> The UN says that the death penalty has not proven to be an effective deterrent globally and is incompatible with international human rights law, which only permits capital punishment for the most serious crimes.

I don’t know it seems to be working in Singapore. They don’t have a fentanyl drug crisis.

On the other hand, this seems like a fairly excessive punishment given the safety and relative pharmaceutical use of marijuana.

On the other other hand, Singapore is pretty clear about the law and death sentence that will follow. You really have to be a special kind of dunce to violate that law (even if people think it’s excessive).

May God have mercy on that man’s soul, because Singapore certainly won’t.
