Since 1999, the executions of drug smugglers have become more common in Indonesia, Iran, China and Pakistan. In March 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump proposed executing drug traffickers to fight his country’s opioid epidemic. 32 countries impose the death penalty for drug smuggling. Seven of these countries (China, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore) routinely execute drug offenders. Asia and the Middle East’s tough approach contrasts with many Western countries who have legalized cannabis in recent years (selling cannabis in Saudi Arabia is punished by beheading).
No, death penalty should only be done to persons who have done heinous crimes. Drug traffickers should be put under strict rehabilitation centers and make sure that they receive a reasonable livelihood job for them to start they life over.
@9BMZ5TXIndependent12mos12MO
Im neutral with the death penalty
@968VFXT2yrs2Y
that depends how deep they are in their ring, grunts can be slid off but high ranking officers need the cap
No, Minor Drug traffickers should not get dealth penalty unless they are a major supplier.
@9675TDVIndependent2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if our justice system is fixed and fair enough to avoid killing an innocent person.
@95KTQ4C2yrs2Y
If they are the top of the drug world, like drug lords
@94SW4BB2yrs2Y
No, they must be given a trial first instead of death penalty.
@92S4D92Independent2yrs2Y
Death penalty is not enough. They should be tortured until they're begging for their death. Once begged, stop the torture then continue doing this once they got enough rest.
@BMaGuerrero19892yrs2Y
No, the punishment should fit the crime--there should be degrees of drug trafficking that take into account the amount of trafficked drugs, involvement in production, etc. Drug lords should receive more severe punishment/sentences than small-time traffickers, and deaths as a result of trafficking should be part of a different (additional) charge
no there's a treatment for them, we can put them in the rehabilitation center and also I believe that everyone can change just give them a chance and time
No, but prison them for them to give a lesson and regret their sins.
@8SYHK6X3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for those who were especially brutal.
@8RQXF9G3yrs3Y
Yes, but only for illegal drug traffickers and fair trial to the convicted
Yes, IF they are those type of people who don't want to change anymore.
makulong na lang sila ng pang habang buhay
@8LNTW983yrs3Y
No, give them proper rehabilitation instead
No. Cause they still have a future, and they can still change in the future.
No, beacuse they can change their self
No, what's the word humanity for? They're still humans who made mistakes. No one deserves death penalty.
no, but they deserved to be prisoned or a punishment
@8CT2TZP4yrs4Y
no! life is important even though it seemed they dont desereve life.
I do not agree with killing because of drugs, a person can change because of his mistakes, we know that all people sin but we will not end up with the death penalty.
@8SYHHG43yrs3Y
Yes, but only those who were especially brutal
Yes, as long as the officials has concrete proofs that they trafficked not framed. To be honest, in our present time, the justice system is really messed up.
No, every person have a right to change their way of life.

No, and the free import and export of all drugs should be decriminalized.
@92YHQCV2yrs2Y
No. However the sentence should depend on why the person was trafficking drugs in the first place.
@9334YP32yrs2Y
Yes, if they have been sentenced to death or life in prison, and cannot or will not appeal.
@92X5HLD2yrs2Y
No, the death penalty should be abolished and drug trafficking should be legalized
@92WX6NZ2yrs2Y
As long as they were given a fair trial, then yes, but only if there's proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked
@8R6XFJ62yrs2Y
it depends on the danger level of the drug and notoriety
@88FM2F62yrs2Y
Depends on the drug and infamy
Deleted2yrs2Y
Depends on what they've done.
@michaelconnely2yrs2Y
Situational. Too many factors to comment.
@MSelvig2yrs2Y
I do not currently have an opinion on this issue.
@6LV5ZML2yrs2Y
Yes, as long as they are given a fair trial; and, pharmaceutical companies, and all civil and governmental agencies involved in illegal and legal drugs are also categorically defined as "drug traffickers" and "drug dealers".
@8M258QP2yrs2Y
Yes- only of their drugs are confirmed to be laced with harmful drugs not disclosed in the purchase to buyers
@8ZH59GG2yrs2Y
No, the bible says that the death penalty is only okay for murder.
@8ZLZHD92yrs2Y
Yes, but only if there is proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked and they lied about the content of the sold drugs.
