If they personally killed someone.

No, give them a hefty sentence is someone dies because of their actions.

No, and legalize all drugs and retroactively release all convicted drug offenders and clear their records

Drug trafficking should be considered similarly to attempted murder or to murder if it is proven that a client of the trafficker died by using drugs sold by him.

Only if they have personally murdered someone. Not for dealing but for actively hurting others, yes. Must be without a reasonable doubt.

No. However the sentence should depend on why the person was trafficking drugs in the first place.

Situational. Too many factors to comment.

It depends if they do anything beyond far, such as drugging somebody. It all depends on the situation.

Depends on the drug and infamy

No, but very severe prison sentence minimum of 10 years and maximum of 45 years.

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

They didn't cold blood kill someone so they should not get the death penalty.

Depends. Case by case basis.

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.

be in jail for a little bit.

No, proven Human traffickers should though

Yes, only if their crime is violent.

Yes- only of their drugs are confirmed to be laced with harmful drugs not disclosed in the purchase to buyers

No there are too many variables. If it's marijuana then no. I'd rather see the death penalty go to the sex traffickers.

Yes, as long as they have a jury and rights to appeal.

Give them the option to be sentenced life in prison with community service or death.

Yes, but only for traffickers of deadly drugs such as heroin, cocaine, meth, etc.

Yes, if it is proven in court that they caused death while in prison.

it depends on the danger level of the drug

No, unless given a fair trial and horrific crimes were made

No, I don't believe in the death penalty, and we should legalize all drugs.

Only if they have done something capable of this punishment.

Only if the actively killed someone.

No, I do not believe in the death penalty and sentence them to life in prison without parole instead

Yes if they either had someone who couldn't pay them killed or their drugs killed them

Yes, but only if they willingly understood their drugs could cause death.

No, unless they served drugs to minors.

No there is no reason to kill a person over drugs

Depends on the actions of the dealer, the drug dealt, and any linked deaths

Yes, If it is a major trafficking issue: very large amounts or involves the most dangerous. Meth, heroin, Opioids...

Yes, but only if there is proof someone died from the drugs they trafficked and they lied about the content of the sold drugs.

I do not currently have an opinion on this issue.

No, the death penalty should be abolished and drug trafficking should be legalized

Yes. Legalize drugs in the united states, but keep it criminal to traffic them over the border.

Yes, only if they are charged for murder on top of trafficking
