- I was wondering about that. In Singapore, Malaysia and all these
- countries where the possession of drugs can lead to the death penalty,
- what is the addict situation? I mean if the law really is enforced you
- would either end with a civil war, or a country with very little drugs.
- Anyone knows anything about that?
