(or are they? have I been disinfo'd?)

I am of the opinion that the drug war is evil: cops and jails ruining someone's life because of a recreational activity. And the evidence shows it does more harm than good, not stuff I have to go over again.

But DPRK and China are harsh on drugs, not sure about Cuba.

What's up with that?

First counterargument that comes to my mind is a lot of capitalist countries are very harsh on drugs as well, like the very capitalist Singapore, so you couldn't draw a correlation. What other counterarguments should a comrade consider?

    Consider how historically, what imperialists have done to the east using drugs.

    Also consider what the CIA et al currently do to the US's own marginalized population using drugs.

    Also consider that AES states have yet to be able to leave siege mentality when it comes to more covert forms of warfare such as that.
