Mum and Dad went to Singapore a few years back and they said that
place was immaculate and I believe there are very strong fines for
littering or dropping gum.

I *personally* regard littering - from the odd fag end right the way up
to flytipped tonnes - as one of the worst crimes a person can commit.
It's lack of respect for where I have to live is indicative of a very
bad person.

I'd be more than happy to see custodial sentences for littering. And I
would suspect a lot of petty crime would disappear overnight.

It didnt with marijuana.

I couldn't give two ****s though. If someone wants to use marijuana let
them. I have zero interest in laws enforcing morality, and unless someone
using MJ happens to break another law (say littering) it's no concern of
mine.

Sure, I just meant that a high risk of a custodial sentence
clearly didnt make that crime disappear overnight.

Same with shop stealing.

I think it's called the broken windows approach ?

Its always been a myth.

So not worth trying then ?

It was tried with marijuana and other recreational drugs.

Unless you care to cite ?

Just did with marijuana.
