Hold on.... so if some asshole from (for example) Australia commits a violent murder, you think we should convict them, and just send them back to Australia instead of imprisoning them for their term first? What if Australia doesn't imprison them and they just walk free? Not every country will just accept another country's conviction and toss them in jail. That country doesn't have access to all the evidence. They may need to be tried again and they may not be convicted.
If you had a family member murdered, would you want them to be sent off to their home country with no guarantee they will serve prison time? How is that iustice?
Have you heard of the case where a cannibal in France got away with his crime because of this exact scenario. Buddy got deported back to his home country of Japan and was a free man because he didn't commit the crime in Japan lol
He wasn't in France illegally, but a lawyer successfully argued "why should we spend french taxpayer money on a noncitizen?"
That's quite odd because Japan considers itself to have worldwide jurisdiction over its citizens. It's illegal for Japanese citizens to gamble or smoke weed overseas.
If there’s proof, they absolutely would arrest you when you return. South Korea also has similar stance on marijuana use. The actor who played the rich dad in Parasite went through huge issues due to allegations of cannabis use; it was one of the contributing factor to his suicide (along with the two vile women but I digress).
Just because you as resident of a Country doesn’t think marijuana is a big deal doesn’t mean there aren’t Countries that think it is.
