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. For a first offence they should be sentenced to 7 years, a repeat offence should result in life imprisonment. Also, they should get sufficient recourse to appeal the sentence in case they feel it is an unfair judgment.
Depends on the severity of the situation. Few years in jail should suffice for low to mid level traffickers
@9DMN6YTIndependent1yr1Y
Apply existing code and furnish further if required
As long as they are higher up in the hierarchy,death penalty for low hanging fruits that are there just for some quick money should be given some other rigorous punishment.
Maybe, depends of severity of the case
@93QBTBN2yrs2Y
No, they should be given appropriate penalty as a smuggler should
Depends on the quantity of drugs trafficked
@8XCLM45Independent3yrs3Y
Drugs should be decriminalized so that there is no scope for drug trafficking and individuals get full freedom
@8VXS43LIndependent3yrs3Y
No. Indian law is very ambiguous in determining who is a drug smuggler or not. Rather we should aim to decriminalise all drug use and peddling and legalise drugs.
@8VLQ26T3yrs3Y
Imprisonment or rehab, mental help
@8TFRLM9Independent3yrs3Y
Try to Rehabilitate him, if not sentence to life in prison
No, They should be published
@8S4DL544yrs4Y
If there is proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked then sentencing them in prison for some years (15-20) with fine.
@8S3C6JW4yrs4Y
depends on the type of drugs they were pedalling, and since how many years they were into that business, and if they were repeated offenders. mostly they should be sentenced to life unless they have committed other crimes along with drug trafficking.
@8RKNQDYIndependent4yrs4Y
No, Give them lesser punishments
@8QM3R534yrs4Y
No death penalty is not a solution to crimes. There should be regulation of drugs instead of making it criminal offence
@8QK7X574yrs4Y
No, rather they should ve sent to rehabilitation centres for their betterment.
If the magnitude of their crime is very high, i.e. if they are serial drug peddlers or masterminds, only then this option may be considered. Otherwise not.
@8Q29ZJB4yrs4Y
No, they should receive rehabilitation.
@8PYCMHN4yrs4Y
No they should be rehabilitate
@8PST3TVBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
They should be punished hard
@8KBSNSPBharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Since I am pro drug regulation, this question does not make sense.
@8D9YLN3Bharatiya Janata4yrs4Y
Depends on how high up in the system they are - many at the bottom are victims
@9CXDW9TIndependent1yr1Y
Yes, if their crimes fall under rarest of rare category.
No , if they are repeated offenders give them life sentence, else first time caught a strict punishment is enough.
If we kill them trafficking will not stop we want to study his mindset,were he grown up and what activities he is doing, want to know from him and stop future trafficking
5 years imprisonment then 2 years rehabilitation
@9CQG7F71yr1Y
Yes if they are at the top of drug mafia hierarchy. No if it's a street vendor.
@9CQFQVY1yr1Y
Depends on the amount and kind of drugs. Plus a fair trial.
@9CQ75SZ1yr1Y
Give them Long penalty if repeated offenders
depends on the level low quantity should be imprisonment for less years n vis a vis
Depends - on the kind of drugs, and the scope of the drug traffickers role in the chain of command.
Yes, only if he becomes a narco terrorist
Should be jailed but not death penalty unless the drugs trafficked by him resulted in death of other person.
@9CPR847Independent1yr1Y
I believe social workers and the government should work with them and reincorporate them with society
@99D2PJZ2yrs2Y
No they should be jailed
@99B8Z59Bharatiya Janata2yrs2Y
No, death penalty would be too harsh. But they should receive no mild penalties for it.
@9987HWC2yrs2Y
Yes, but only if someone died from their intention to kill that person with a drug.
First of all, i want to legalization of all drugs and narcotic substances and i oppose death penalty
@96T99VQBharatiya Janata2yrs2Y
Penalty for sure, depending on the impact it created.
@9D2F5CZ1yr1Y
Maybe rather understand why they did it and send them to a psychiatrist and then to jail
@MilesBHuff4yrs4Y
It depends on the drug and the amount
@7W3SBDC4yrs4Y
No, WTF is wrong with you??
@85Z5SQ34yrs4Y
I belive in the death penalty but I think it should depend on what happend with the drugs that they brought in. If the drugs harmed or killed anyone, then yes. If the drugs never did anything to anyone, put them in prison but not with the death penalty.
@88FM2F63yrs3Y
Depends on the drug and infamy
@83WFRPW4yrs4Y
No, but very severe prison sentence minimum of 10 years and maximum of 45 years.
@8C5DPWM4yrs4Y
No, this is a violation of the eighth amendment.
@86N5Z353yrs3Y
Give them a fair trial and let the judicial system decide.
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, but increase prison sentences for offenders who traffic cartels of the most lethal drugs to urban areas
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, but increase prison sentences for offenders who traffic cartels of the most lethal drugs to urban areas.
@8D5J4RR4yrs4Y
So long as the evidence is as strong as "yea i murdered people and spiked my drugs to fuel my empire, you cant undo that"
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, but increase prison sentences for dealers who traffic cartels of the most lethal drugs to urban areas
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, increase prison sentences instead for those who traffic large cartels the most lethal street drugs to urban areas
@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, increase prison sentences for offenders who traffic large cartels of the most lethal drugs to metropolitan urban areas instead
@7PTCG383yrs3Y
No, but increase prison sentences for those who traffic large cartels the most lethal street drugs to urban areas

@7PTCG384yrs4Y
No, increase prison sentences for offenders who traffic large cartels of the most lethal drugs instead
@8FN7RDR4yrs4Y
No, and at the minimum, decriminalize all drugs.
@8GR8N5C4yrs4Y
I do not believe in the death penalty, I think they just be punished harsher and it also depends on the type of drug. For example, marijuana should not be included
@8HV5NB44yrs4Y
They didn't cold blood kill someone so they should not get the death penalty.
@8JBN6KV4yrs4Y
Depends. Case by case basis.
@8JN5ZTL4yrs4Y
I believe that it depends. I don't believe in the death penalty unless it was a mass murder like 9/11. If this dealer led to deaths, I believe that they should be in jail for life with maybe a chance of parole.
@8JY4K994yrs4Y
be in jail for a little bit.
@8JXM38W4yrs4Y
No, proven Human traffickers should though
@8KG7DR83yrs3Y
Yes, only if their crime is violent.
@8M258QP3yrs3Y
Yes- only of their drugs are confirmed to be laced with harmful drugs not disclosed in the purchase to buyers
Deleted4yrs4Y
Only if the actively killed someone.
@8NY47RM4yrs4Y
Yes, as long as they have a jury and rights to appeal.
@8PVRZDN4yrs4Y
Give them the option to be sentenced life in prison with community service or death.
@8PV7LYQ4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for traffickers of deadly drugs such as heroin, cocaine, meth, etc.
@8QYZ4SB4yrs4Y
Yes, if it is proven in court that they caused death while in prison.
@8R6XFJ64yrs4Y
it depends on the danger level of the drug
@8R6XFJ63yrs3Y
it depends on the danger level of the drug and notoriety
@8RTZDTX4yrs4Y
No, unless given a fair trial and horrific crimes were made
@8TF44GJ3yrs3Y
No, I don't believe in the death penalty, and we should legalize all drugs.
@Thomasj663yrs3Y
Only if they have done something capable of this punishment.
@8XCJY2Y3yrs3Y
Yes. Legalize drugs in the united states, but keep it criminal to traffic them over the border.
@8XD6BY63yrs3Y
No, I do not believe in the death penalty and sentence them to life in prison without parole instead
@8Y2PZNR3yrs3Y
Yes if they either had someone who couldn't pay them killed or their drugs killed them
@8Y6XX9F3yrs3Y
Yes, but only if they willingly understood their drugs could cause death.
@8YDDPH83yrs3Y
No, unless they served drugs to minors.
@8YT92QK3yrs3Y
No there is no reason to kill a person over drugs
@8YX4JT93yrs3Y
Depends on the actions of the dealer, the drug dealt, and any linked deaths
@8Z3NQVS3yrs3Y
Yes, If it is a major trafficking issue: very large amounts or involves the most dangerous. Meth, heroin, Opioids...
@8ZLZHD93yrs3Y
Yes, but only if there is proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked and they lied about the content of the sold drugs.
@MSelvig3yrs3Y
I do not currently have an opinion on this issue.
@92X5HLD3yrs3Y
No, the death penalty should be abolished and drug trafficking should be legalized
@abbymayart4yrs4Y
No there are too many variables. If it's marijuana then no. I'd rather see the death penalty go to the sex traffickers.
@8ZJFSF63yrs3Y
Yes, only if they are charged for murder on top of trafficking
@8ZH59GG3yrs3Y
No, the bible says that the death penalty is only okay for murder.
Deleted4yrs4Y
They should get life in prison if they have murdered someone.
