Considering how many mules are forced to traffic substances against their will, by force or by threat, or are otherwise unaware they are being used to smuggle, a death sentence for the mule themselves is illogical.

Same goes for targeting drug users, you do not stop the distribution of drugs by targeting drug users, the notion is ridiculous.

Also, not all substances warrant the same level of punishment. Opium is indeed very harmful to society and individuals, and I'm sure that China still bears the pain of the century of humiliation, but other substances are fairly harmless and should not result in harsh penalties.

Death sentences are a foolish punishment when delivered almost immediately, mistakes can be made in criminal investigation and you cannot bring back a life after the mistake has been discovered.

Libertarian bulls*hit. Drug addiction is a death sentence by itself. I read a (Democrat supporting Latino man) Sam Quinones' book and it made me murderous againt all people who sell junk.

A rich and handsome man had his wisdom tooth removed and was prescribed Oxycontin and decade later he was in a abandoned house in Cleveland, OH and died of Fentanyl overdose in a toilet.

A young woman overdosed and was left a vegetable. Her drug buddy who was forcing her to prostitution to pay her drugs left her and didnt call ambulance. A Christian woman demanded that she be taken care of and adopted her child. She was covered in s*hit because nursing home didn't care about her but she demanded they take care of her. And they did until she succumbed in Elizabethton, TN

Words cannot contain how much I hate drug pushers.

Yes, individual liberties which includes individual rights, freedoms and responsibilities alike. Every person should have the right to destroy their life, but be given all the support they need to escape addiction.

If you look for a tragedy, you will find it. I don't condone the use or sale of most opiates, but you cannot compare opiates to less harmful substances and punish equally.

Words cannot contain how much I hate drug pushers.

One of your examples included a case where the addiction stemmed from a doctor's prescription. I personally have a gripe against casual issuing of opiates and benzos by prescription as some people cannot leave them easily. Do you consider the doctors in this case to be a drug pusher?

Importantly and often ignored is the fact that most addicts are trying to escape the harsh realities of our exploitative vicious world. Kick the junk and return to what? More impossible debt, rat race, misery, hostility, etc. Weak people don't just need support, they need the means to get stronger - but the ruling class wants us all as weak as possible, yet still mostly able to serve them. Thus the sheeple are not educated or facilitated properly.
