Not really an opinion on the drug laws but I lived there as a teenager in the late 70's early 80s when the drug problem really started to escalate. Most of the methadone and heroin treatment programs began after I left, but the city really did have a serious issue as Zurich became the place of choice for addicts across Europe to come to due to the easy availability of hard drugs. Famous spot was the "Platzspitze" where addicts were pretty much left to their own devices, an approach that really did not work as the effects spread across the city.

Any immigrant found guilty of a crime is automatically deported, although they might make an exception for Lewis "traitor" Hamilton cos tho he is a bit black he's a blinking millionaire and as the Nazis found, with the Swiss, it's the money that matters!
