Use a strike system
2nd strike dealers are hung

Less dealers, less drug use, less crime.

But probably more civil unrest. Probably cheaper to just keep the current system. Gives lots of people jobs. Probation, prevention/treatment places etc

Show me a country where prohibition works. You can buy drugs and alcohol in Saudi and they have a justice system like that, they just skip the 1st strike, trial and go straight to the beheading.

If you execute weed dealers, what's the proportional punishment for murderers?

I suppose you advocate for cruel and unusual punishment too?

You want to hang someone for selling a bit of weed. Come on now.

I think you're a bit lost m8, you're looking for 1912 aren't you?

No I think that's the problem, must have been a very boring set of formative years.

I'd say being high they wouldn't go for the aggressive route of hanging people.

Do the same for Speeders, petty theft, break and entering, common assault and controlling and coercive behaviour too?

If not, I'd love to know why.

That would depend on what they have taken. :cry:

Certainly not weed!

Alcohol however.. Nah, couldn't possibly make people lairy, it's legal!

Let’s add:

People who do their toilet stuff in the street.

People who troll on a forum.

People who can’t cook.

Where does it end? :cry:

People who don't do a 'thank you wave' when driving. Though from experience that probably puts the entirety of London in the gallows.

More risk just means more rewards, this doesn't work.

Meanwhile it Switzerland...

Cocaine: Swiss capital Bern may allow sales as 'the war on drugs has failed'

In the US state of Oregon, having small amounts of cocaine has been allowed since 2021 and many European countries, including Spain, Italy and Portugal, no longer have prison sentences for possession of drugs including cocaine.

Or is it because the Swiss bankers want a white Christmas?

Yes but countries like Singapore do similar and much lower levels of all crime.

I'm pretty sure they weren't killing people for bootlegging booze or running speak easys in prohibition America.
