My thoughts are that it's not just what you teach about alcohol and drugs, it's what you teach about the rest of life. Goal-oriented, success-driven, ambitious youth and young adults are less likely to let alcohol and drug use become a problem.

I don't think is a matter of "letting" it become a problem. I have read stories about professionals that get caught up in it after one use (i.e. Ice). Making it legal does not make it any less addictive.

I never said ice should be legal. In fact, it is one that should probably stay illegal.

Just using that case as an example. I am sure there would be similar cases for Marajuana also

Making it illegal doesn't make it any less addictive either.

Set them free in Australia. They have served more than enough jail time.
The death penalty can never be excused as it allows a state a means by which it can pick and choose who is fit to live and who isnt

as long as they're breathing a box is fine.

We shouldn't be murdering rehabilitated humans, who have had 10 years under thier belt. Give them a chance to give back to the community.

Had they not been caught in the first place they would've profited from the smuggling.. and no doubt would've done it again.. and again... and again..

People die everyday from drug related deaths, why should we weep and cry for mercy for those who are gaining financially and actively playing a part in providing the substance?

They made a conscious decision to smuggle drugs - they knew what they were doing was wrong and illegal - so I have no sympathy for them.

You say rehabilitated I say putting on show for the cameras.

Drug smuggling scum

What they've got coming to them in many ways is too good for low lifes like them

Amd for that, they served a just punishment of 10 years in a 3 world country prison. Whether or not they would have reoffended is a hypothetical and I don't know whether that can be wieghed into the decision.
