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
@9DMN6YTIndependent8mos8MO
Apply existing code and furnish further if required
@9D2F5CZ9mos9MO
Maybe rather understand why they did it and send them to a psychiatrist and then to jail
@9CXDW9TIndependent9mos9MO
Yes, if their crimes fall under rarest of rare category.
@9CR4WRVBharatiya Janata10mos10MO
No , if they are repeated offenders give them life sentence, else first time caught a strict punishment is enough.
@9CR4NF2Bharatiya Janata10mos10MO
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
@9CQLPLGMarxist Communist10mos10MO
5 years imprisonment then 2 years rehabilitation
@9CQG7F710mos10MO
Yes if they are at the top of drug mafia hierarchy. No if it's a street vendor.
@9CQFQVY10mos10MO
Depends on the amount and kind of drugs. Plus a fair trial.
@9CQFNB7Bharatiya Janata10mos10MO
It should be made legal
@9CQ75SZ10mos10MO
Give them Long penalty if repeated offenders
@9CQ5ZWJIndian National Congress10mos10MO
depends on the level low quantity should be imprisonment for less years n vis a vis
@9CQ5PVFBiju Janata Dal10mos10MO
Depends - on the kind of drugs, and the scope of the drug traffickers role in the chain of command.
@9CQ28S2Bharatiya Janata10mos10MO
Yes, only if he becomes a narco terrorist
@9CPZLYLBharatiya Janata10mos10MO
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.
@9CPXJ5HBharatiya Janata10mos10MO
Should be jailed but not death penalty unless the drugs trafficked by him resulted in death of other person.
@9CPR847Independent10mos10MO
I believe social workers and the government should work with them and reincorporate them with society
@9CF7HVTBharatiya Janata11mos11MO
Maybe, depends of severity of the case
@99D2PJZ1yr1Y
No they should be jailed
No, death penalty would be too harsh. But they should receive no mild penalties for it.
@9987HWC1yr1Y
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.
@93QBTBN2yrs2Y
No, they should be given appropriate penalty as a smuggler should
Depends on the quantity of drugs trafficked
@8XCLM45Independent2yrs2Y
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
@8S4DL543yrs3Y
If there is proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked then sentencing them in prison for some years (15-20) with fine.
@8S3C6JW3yrs3Y
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.
@8RKNQDYIndependent3yrs3Y
No, Give them lesser punishments
@8PYCMHN3yrs3Y
No they should be rehabilitate
@8PST3TVBharatiya Janata3yrs3Y
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
@8QM3R533yrs3Y
No death penalty is not a solution to crimes. There should be regulation of drugs instead of making it criminal offence
@8QK7X573yrs3Y
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.
@8Q29ZJB3yrs3Y
No, they should receive rehabilitation.
