They have, I went to the Gili Islands 2 years ago, no cars and they advertise legal mushroom shakes, also amazing island for diving (not in conjunction however!)

That picture looked really appealing until I found some context: http://wikitravel.org/en/Gili_Islands#Stay_safe
Well, it does say it's just the locals who get busted; executing tourists would be bad for business.
The shakes are advertised in most bars on the menu's and A boards outside, all very commonplace I found.
The "funny" thing is that the Gili Islands are Indonesian land, so drug smuggling carries a death sentence.

However, it's not a problem since there are no police on the island.
