It's not just drugs. Increasing the punishment for a given infraction does not reduce the chances of that infraction being committed.

You are trying to apply a reasonable and logical approach to acts committed by people who are generally sociopaths.

The death penalty was reinstated in 1976. The next fifteen years saw the greatest amount of violent crime in the history of this country at the same time when we were setting records for incarceration rates, both numerically and per capita.
