CannaTravel – Singapore: Pros and Cons.

Because when it comes to Singapore, there are 100 reasons to go and even stay. But for cannabis users, there are two main problems. And that’s taken lightly.

First, they have the death penalty. No state has the right to kill you. Second, their drug war is murderous. Literally. Someone just got the death penalty for selling cannabis.

And it wasn’t the first time.

Singapore sucks for stoners. Point. They will kill you. Cannatravel in Singapore is definitely a scam.

But what about the pros? What makes Singapore unique among the nation states of the world? It’s #5 in anti-corruption, #2 in doing business, and #1 in economic freedom.

Suppose Americans and Canadians can replicate this success in their local jurisdictions. If so, cannabis users in Singapore need not fear for their lives. You can just come here and enjoy the same standard of living but with even more freedom.

Singapore: A Brief History

Singapore. Just one degree above the equator.

Founded in 1819 as a British colony, the British ruled the island for 144 years. When they left in 1963, the people of Singapore joined their closest neighbor: Malaysia.

But this prejudice against small states is an old relic from the era of European empire-building in the 19th century. From German reunification to Italian reunification to the US government and Canadian Confederation after the Civil War.

We all know how a more centralized Germany and Italy developed. Or how US empire is expanding globally, undermining national sovereignty for those opposed to its crony capitalism.

You may think that the Canadian Confederation is benign, but I can assure you that was not the case.

Luckily, Singapore’s problems with Malaysia haven’t stopped them from erasing that bias.

Singaporeans wanted more autonomy within Malaysia. Malaysia felt that its national identity did not include the island of Singapore. It was an amicable divorce.

With virtually no natural resources, how did this small island thrive and thrive in the global economy?

Adam Smith asked the same questions about European prosperity in 1776. Critics say his description of the market as an “invisible hand” is voodoo magic. But it’s the current year; We have an explanation of what this “invisible hand” is.

We know why Singapore is thriving while countries like Canada and the US are stagnating.

CannaTravel – Singapore: Benefits

Singapore attracts foreign capital. I could say, “Capital is what makes the world go round,” but capital is the world.

You can have all the technology and know-how. All the best experts. But without specific factors of production arranged at a specific time in a specific place for a specific purpose: you have nothing.

Literal poverty.

Capital comes from deferring consumption; Income that is either saved or invested.

Many Western economists believe that consumption drives the economy. But this kind of economics is pure astrology. Consumption is the end goal of an economy.

An economy is like building a house. You need a solid foundation. Digging a hole and pouring concrete is like saving and investing your income.

Western central banks and governments removed the house’s foundation and used its materials to renovate the top floors. The result will be a collapse of the whole.

Before that, let’s take a closer look at Singapore’s pros. What makes Singapore successful? Unilateral free trade, a liberal trade policy and a free port.

Of course, the entire island could be considered a free port. Its strategic location makes it one of the busiest ports in the world. And with no duties or taxes to pay, Singapore is a major center for international trade and finance.

Whenever governments demand that the rich pay their “fair share,” the rich move to Singapore. It’s the middle class that’s being thrown under the bus.

But I’m sure many wealthy Americans and Canadians would be happy to return to their home countries and invest in opportunities if or when those countries adopt more “Singaporean” principles.

CannaTravel – Singapore: Cons

Of course, as mentioned earlier, there is one significant downside to cannatravel in Singapore: they will kill you for cannabis.

If I were a former mayor of Vancouver, I would call it the stoner genocide. But the Oxford Dictionary is pretty clear on its definition of genocide. So let’s call it what it is: murder.

The Singapore authorities embrace the culture of the free market. With the exception of cannabis-related transactions. You get murdered for that.

CannaTravel – 5 Ways to Make North America Great Again

Singapore is a murderous police state for cannabis users and cannabis enthusiasts. These residents may want to relocate if things don’t subside soon.

Would immigration-friendly Canada and the United States welcome them? Would they even want to come?

The US and Canadian governments are significantly more interventionist than Singapore. Singaporeans may want to maintain their level of economic freedom.

So what are five ways to bring Singapore’s pros to North America?

Economic Freedoms

Singapore is business-friendly – ​​low taxes, minimal regulation and a bureaucracy that is not self-serving. Canada and the USA must follow suit.

At the moment this is almost impossible to imagine. But declining living standards are already scaring the masses. A frightened ruling class could start using Hayek instead of Keynes.

National Divorce

An efficient bureaucracy is an oxymoron. But one way to constrain administrative law is to limit the geographic power of politicians, bureaucrats, and technocrats.

Compare the geographic size of the three countries. Canada and the USA take up almost an entire continent. Singapore is a small island city-state.

Of course, smaller states are more efficient. Why do you think the USSR fell, but Cuba and North Korea are still there? Europe could do with a lot more decentralization, too.

Training

Singapore spent a lot of money to get highly qualified workers. The governments of Canada and the US have spent enough on education. If we want to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, we have to close public schools.

I propose a camp model. You know, in the summer you send your kids to special camps like gyms, arts and crafts camps, outdoor survival camps, etc.

Well, let’s go all year round. And expand them to the three Rs.

It’s not like teachers go anywhere. And they are not all ideologues. Now they can earn money in the private sector based on merit and skills set by the children’s parents.

Surprisingly, most parents want their kids to be smarter than they are. Public schools will never do this. Public schools just keep dumbing us down, creating “the masses” that need to be “governed.”

Tax Incentives

All countries live from taxes, including Singapore. But Singapore has no capital gains tax, sales tax or inheritance tax. Income tax starts at 0% and ends at 22%.

Like most governments, the income tax contains incentives. Unlike many governments, these incentives actually encourage innovation and entrepreneurship.

Canada and the US should scrap their tax laws and take a look at Singapore. (Or just scrap their tax codes, period.)

Sustainable development

Singapore’s government is spending money on renewable energy and water conservation. Canada and the US could do even better, using their rediscovered economic freedoms to create a hemp industry the likes of which the world has never seen.

Where entrepreneurs are developing new strains of hemp for mass production as fuel. Where hemp replaces polyethylene. And where Singapore is realizing its cannabis policy, it’s from the bloody dark ages.
