I don't think there can be any argument on a basis of culture for a condemnation to death over weed. My understanding is that it's meant to be a deterrent to others but seeing that type of policy actually play out shows it for what it is, barbarism.

I wouldn't say that a culture could excuse it, but moreso to understand why it is that way in the first place. I think some of the US's policies on drugs and abortion are barbaric, but to people that live there, it's perfectly normal and it's based on a lifetime of thinking in a certain way. We don't have to agree with something to understand it. If that makes sense?

Yea with added clarification I see the angle you're going for and agree.

Ah I appreciate your understanding!
