It's a different situation, as different as the comparisons you opposed on another thread today almost, hard drugs fund terrorism, prostitution, child abuse, they are illegal.
The traffickers are a link in the chain then it's kudos to their govt for taking the initiative to break that chain. Will this be enough of a deterrent to prevent any more attempt to smuggle drugs? I doubt it.
