I’m all for following the laws of a place, but that these laws are backwards, needs to be said. What social harm is cannabis doing? What special good is this dudes lamentably preventable death doing?

All the more surprising because Singapore is not some ultra orthodox conservative theocracy. It’s this place that a lot of my classmates in college wanted to go and work in. But it’s light-years from Hong Kong, in terms of liberty. How did things go so wrong? I mean both those places are run by Chinese, right?
