well , death penalty is sometimes meted out for the murderer of ONE person in the USA in say a robbery . I'm sure that lots of deaths are caused by hard drug dealers that sell to dedicated drug users . Heard that Duerte of the 'philIppines' and the 'chinese' and other 'oriental' countries probably execute drug dealers simply for selling DRUGS .

Bad idea.

I don't want to have hands cut off thiefs either.


Are your wanting the same penalty for politicians caught lying ?

Depends, drug users chose to slowly poison themselves.

The dealer is just the vendor, but they sometimes sell tainted product, is the case of death by tainted drugs I'm OK with a death penalty.

I don't believe tougher penalties slow criminals in any way, they always think they will be the one's who get away with the crime.

I'd rather execute the dopers.

Not sure which party the dealers belong to.

Slows them some; it's a bit tougher to keep a drug trade going from behind bars. As far as the tainted drugs: I can go for that, but it might be difficult to establish exactly who tainted them.

I doubt very much if I would ever support the Death Penalty. Particularly not in drug offenses.
