Singapore has automatic death penalty on drug dealing. Singapore is almost right next to Phillippine.

It is widely reported by the Philippine people that the vast majority of illegal drug sellers went into deep hiding during Duturte's war on drug dealers. When Duterte's presidency ended due to term limits, illegal drug usage, and the crimes and homelessness that goes hand and hand with illegal drug sales and use, skyrocketed in the Philippines.

Very sorry for the loss of your Grandson.
I can't speak for fentanyl, but working on my master degree I studied the heroin sales market in the U.S. The heroin dealers were not targeting underprivelaged youth. The heroin dealers targeted middle class, upper middle class, and upper class young americans. The reason, heroin is so addictive, that just one use of heroin often hooks a user for life. Seriously hooks that user. The dealers knew that hooking middle class, upper middle class, and upper class young americans--- brings in great fortunes to the drug dealer and their criminal enterprise network as the young americans had family and friends that were easy for the addicted heroin user to steal from, to support their unbreakable addicition to heroin.
Although not a student of the fentanyl industry, the fentanly trade is without question a transnational organized crime.

China doesn’t have any drug users for similar reasons.

Decades ago they used firing squads and have mass graves of opium users.
I don’t think forced work camp and automatic execution is the solution normal humans want for all minor crimes.
It depends, apparently the 13 year old passing marijuana between a dozen friends is treated the same as the Yakuza lead.
And in the case of places that have automatic execution or work camps that result in death of the inmates drug users commonly get upgraded by the legal system to dealers with minimal evidence.
Recent occurrences of boring students being arrested and deported to dangerous prisons as being miscategorized into a murderer or gang member should show why this line is easily crossed when it’s convenient fulfilling false narratives

I guess the problem is how many innocent/mostly innocent people get killed. And once you start allowing the state to kill people without a functional and fair judicial system, the political system will become corrupted and the opposition gets eliminated, just by having the drug squad plant something...
There are lots of nations handle the mix of drugs, mental health, and homeless people much better than Canada and the US, but we have lots of voters who think more punishment, and it seems perhaps even death squads are the way to go....
I think a bunch of us need to visit places where the punishment system is being used, and ask themselves if they want to be middle class there, hiding behind gated communities, and worrying about being car-jacked, and wish they could afford a body guard, or live some place like Sweden, Norway, Germany, where there is far less risk for the average person.
If the tax money we all pay would go to help our own citizens instead of being wasted, that would be a start.
Flame throwers
Seriously stop giving freebies to able bodied people and the problem drops immediately
The bum camps around Bellingham are drug infested party spots. People are all using friendly words they read in the pop press but billions of dollars are wasted and the problem remains the same.

Now that paper straws hit it big - there could be money in paper syringes - put in front of Shark Tank ?
Well, from WW2 onwards, they seem to be doing most things pretty good, and the population is well read, and very keen not to repeat history... I searched for the worst neighborhoods in Frankfurt, here is one... https://maps.app.goo.gl/vUA8S311qdeDeG9b7
Not too bad eh...
Hillbrow, Johannesburg https://maps.app.goo.gl/4oQeaFiW2jVUVfqV9 Not as nice....
One place spends quite a bit on public services, education, and rehabilitation. The other doesn't

The drug problem in my area is solving itself. Fentanyl killed so many over the past 2.5-4 years or so that we no longer see vagrants wandering around.
The problem with splitting up how you treat "minor crime" and "major crime" is, the criminals aren't stupid, they will break their dealing into smaller amount so they don't get penalized.
Look at how many shop lifting gangs split up their loot into $900 at a time so they stay below $1000 to avoid prosecution, that didn't end well.
FTR China has beggars and even some moms who trained kids to beg. Of course well hidden from publicity
Interesting note about firing squads. Not related to drugs but two executions took place in South Carolina just recently. You now have a choice of how you want to die and the new choice is firing squad. The last two executions (one about 7 days ago) they chose this year was exactly that. Firing squad in both cases..

Pssh . Yeah the West built it up pretty nice . I can guarantee you the average American list better than the average German . Maybe I'm just living in a bubble of niceness
That's a given almost. Given two nations with semi-free markets, the nation with the most access to resources and availability of cheap, reliable transportation will always do better. The US has an embarrassment of resources.
^ What does this mean?
Lotsa weed
We have tons of natural resources. Farmland. Lots of good ports, and waterways, etc.
