It's like that in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and only in the past decade the Philippines.

It may be savage, but they have low drug use there. For the most part, they also have the highest rehabilitation rates since people are TREATED for the addiction instead of incarceration. So while they may be caned, they are not necessarily incarcerated.
I can say that entering some countries, like Indonesia, can give you the willies. There are all kinds of warnings before you go through customs.

To me, it is the last part of this that makes the most sense. Treating rather than jailing addicts is much better policy. Go after the dealers and treat the users.
