Nobody asks to die from a fentanyl overdose, while the risks of drug trafficking in Singapore are told to you the moment you arrive in the country.

I do not feel bad for anyone caught with drugs in Singapore, but I sympathize with the addicts in America who have been constantly lied to by people who pretend to care about them.



> are told to you the moment you arrive in the country.

To be fair, American citizens and its visitors are also told what happens to them should they be caught with drugs and/or distributing them. Exactness notwithstanding about regional/local laws and grams, its the same story from when you're a kid all the way up to your first run in with the enforcement.

Singapore is just explicit about one thing more than anything else, you will die.


Which is the real issue. The US is very much built on the idea that it's fine to lie to people and pretend to care about them while aggressively exploiting them.

It's not a drug problem, it's a sociopathy problem.

The Sacklers were allowed to remain billionaires, CVS and other defendants have had to pay out billions - and all of this is considered cost of business instead of criminal activity, even though it has destroyed millions of lives.
