Just confiscation, and as angus said make sure the cops write up the details.

That's almost tantamount to making it legal.  If you support confiscation only, you might as well go for legalization.

Sure, but this poll is under the assumption that marijuana would remain illegal.  Legalization isn't an option in this poll.  (and if it was, everyone would vote for it, about 70% of this board favors the legalization of recreational marijuana).

Assuming marijuana is illegal, what should be the punishment for possessing marijuana?

What they do in Singapore.

I think murder.

Ah.  Well, that is an example of a true police state, opebo; the USA is simply police state-lite.

No, overall Singapore is slightly more free - their oppression of drug-related freedom is about as bad as the US, but they tolerate prostitution.

Due to poverty, opebo.  The bad place has a larger owning class than singapore, therefore, more prostitues run the streets of sinapore.  It is harder to control, and even undesirable to do so.

No, Singapore has a similar standard of living to that of the Bad Place, Tweed.  Certainly nearly every prostitute I encountered there was a foreigner from Indonesia, mainland China, the Philipines, or Thailand, working temporarily, and allowed in for that positive social purpose.

I will bow to your expertise on SE Asia.  I was simply making inferences.
