Let's assume this is true. Nobody is saying they needn't be punished, but put them to death?

LKY says in the video: "In America they're changing their minds and sending people back to the death row." Yeah, but not for this.

There’s warning before you get off the plane. Warnings when you get off the plane. Warnings when you go through customs.

That’s not an argument for the death penalty. Are you saying that it’s ok to kill people for whatever reason as long as they’re informed?

But there's a very specific reason here, and it's easy to avoid.

No one is put to death for personal use. Only if you possess large enough quantities that makes you a dealer peddling typically peddling cannabis to large groups of people including underage kids.

I personally don't believe in death penalty and I hope it's abolished entirely. But facts needs to be stated with clarity.

Also Lee Kwan Yew is a legend. An absolute hero for bringing this country to where it is today. This is just my personal opinion, probably unpopular, but let me be free to state what I feel.

And to add - as of 2013 - laws have changed, death penalty rules are changing. Not changing fast enough, but changing. Hopefully they abolish it entirely asap.
