Should drug traffickers receive the death penalty?

Not bothered.

It would need to be borderline impossible to get the penalty unless its the most evil person who's existance actively threatens the lives and livelihoods of anyone that comes into contact. Violent Gang level stuff.

No, but sentence them based on the class of the illegal substance (e.g class A, more time in prison) and based on what damage they caused.

To be given tough prison sentences, with the charge increasing to murder if there's proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked

No not for drug charges they should go to prison untill rehabilitated but I do believe paedophile’s and serial killers should face death penalty because there is no rehabilitation

it depends on the situation. some in low income and low job opportunity areas have no accessible choice for income, as soon as possible. some are forved into the lifestyle

Decriminalise recreational drugs use, move towards regulating drugs, deaths are usually caused by contaminants and misrepresentation of the contents and traffickers are slaves to the cartels allowed to operate under the current system

Some people traffic drugs because they are threatened to do so, in this case the death penalty is not reasonable

What sort of drugs? Are we talking of a guy selling weed or drug lord selling cocaine and ruining lives and part taking in turf violence. These should be vastly different things. But anyone selling coke etc should be at least jailed for a period of time. Plus no luxury jails. It should be a deterrent not a freebie to escape the streets.

Depends on the drug. Decriminalised drugs means less market for illegal traffickers. At least decriminalise marijuana.

No, instead look at resolving the economic, cost of living, inequality growth, and housing market issues. Stop going for the low hanging fruit issues

There is much to be done to address justice and fairness within our legal system. Penalty should fit the crime but there is so much room for doubt at convictions that I would struggle to trust a government to apply consistent punitive action across the board.

Due to cost of living the world is helpless.everyones escape are drugs now a days. Even the world leaders need a break let alone citizens.drugs should be legal and accessible under supervision.

I think that they should only get the death penalty if they have continuously doing it after their 30 year sentence in jail

Pharmaceutical drugs kill more people than recreational drugs. Apply it to the pharmaceutical companies too

Most traffickers are coerced and the dealers have their families hostage. Go after the source, not the victims of coersion and extortion.

Depends on how much they did and if they showed remorce but people who use knives to threaten or harm should get the death penalty

It depends on the situation. Yes, if the court believes they deserve it with repeated offenses and some who died. Or No, if they were like a lanky.

No, if they are struggling financially punish them but teach them valuable skills and educate them to make them more employable

they should be sentenced to life in prison if there is proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked instead because i do not believe in the death penalty.

No death penalty is extreme but harsher punishments for harder drugs eg heroin trafficking is much more deadly than cannabis trafficking

Depends on what it is, if it is something like fentanyl or anything as strong as that, then probably.

I think the death penalty needs to be in place for those crimes committed which hurt people and children and there must be clear evidence and proof

If they involve innocent humans in their trafficking and don't treat them decently, then maybe, but if they are only endangering their own lives and the buyers of the drugs then no, just a prison sentence.

I believe the death penalty should be in place for individuals that give nothing positive to society and show no remorse for such heinous crimes e.g. murder and rape

depends on the age, and how long they have been doing it and if theyre in need for money, and if theyre been held for something, or being forced

Thats not such a horrendous crime that deserves death, they shall receieve punishemnt but not death penalty, death shall be for extremes and doing illegal trading of drugs is far from extreme

No, they should be given a fair trial but sentenced to imprisonment that is less like prison and forced manual labour, Soviet-style, and make life a living hell for them. Same to murderers, rapists, terrorists and the sort.

No, but their punishment should be severe if someone died from those drugs, if no one died, then it's jail.

Neither, as it depends on different law being passed, but drug trafficking like all trafficking should be treated with high penalties if guilty

No give them an extended sentence with a small chance of parole

No, they should be sent to jail for life.

No, but long-term custodial rehabilitation is required

No, unless the offender can be directly linked with fatal drug cases.

They should be forced to overdose on there own supply.

Depending there statement because some people's have to send drugs to make living

free up my manz

Depends what kind of drug.

Their problem not mine LOL

depending on the grade they are in the criminal organisation, but only jail for little dealers

if it is solely for drug trafficking, then no. there are far more worse crimes occurring where he death penalty should be used

it depends on the type of drugs

It depends on the case as they could be forced to traffic them

No, but it depends on if they have been doing it for a long time and have sold a multitude of drugs or are just a victim of the system

Yes, unless the drug is non-lethal

No, sentence them to life in prison without parole instead only if they've manipulated people and created habits in minors (under 18s)

This is entirely dependent on what they are trafficking as to what the punishment would be.

All 3 yes options

Drug dealers and trafficking isn’t the problem in this world and isn’t the worse crime that could be commited
