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).

not a death penalty but a long time in prison
@93JPY4M3yrs3Y
no i think as soon as the drugs have left the hands of the drug traffickers then its up to the other person what they do so i dont think death penalty is the right option

No, I don’t believe in the death penalty. They should instead have life in prison. It is arguably a harsher punishment but is still more humane then killing them.
