Coming from SEA I always wondering why the west don't ban the drugs.
Yes, illegal drug abuse is still an issue here, but it's nowhere close to major contributor of death and crime.

For a large variety of reasons, the Singapore model doesn’t work here. It doesn’t even work across all of SEA. The Philippines have banned drugs for a long time, but they still have 2-3 million people who regularly use illegal drugs. 4% of Thais have used illegal drugs in the past year, and both countries have very strict laws about drug trafficking.
The “SEA Solution” isn’t even a universal solution across SEA!
I mean FFS we found out we were completely wrong about the prohibition on marijuana here in the USA. and Alcohol. What’s next? MDMA?
They all had severe drug problem in the 20th century. They all have drugs get you an express ticket to firing squad, and all of them don't have major drug problem today.
As for Philippine, they are close to failed state since 80s. Drugs lords are rampant, Duterte despite being frowned upon many philippines like him since he's only man are willing to do something about it.
