Abstract

The word “prohibition” connotes statutory bans on illicit services and products,
especially drugs. Those caught making, transporting, selling, or using prohibited
drugs are in legal jeopardy. Often, they are in serious jeopardy. Singapore’s
immigration forms warn, in red capital letters, that drug traffickers face the death
penalty. The threat is not an idle one.
