Do you think western countries would benefit from adopting Asian Countries' harsh anti-drugs policies? Why or why not?

By "Asian Countries", I'm specifically referring to East Asia and Southeast Asia... you know, the countries affected by british imperialism and the drug problem the brits caused in the past.

Edit: This question should not be misconstrued as me promoting such policies, I'm just curious about different perspectives.

I know that my parents would probably support such policies, so I'm wondering what westerners think...
