I am in favor of Death Penalty especially in drug cases. So many live had been ruined because of drugs, some young innocent are victims and the family is so much affected in the illegal drugs.

I will concede that those that peddle hard drugs cause great harm to society. But is the death penalty an effective deterrent? We have an ever growing opiod crisis here in the States, and the death penalty is still in full effect alot of places. Same with felonious murder; we see periodic spikes related to drug activity. Death penalty never went anywhere during that time.

Naaaaaaaaaah, would you mena that death penalty is useless?
noooooo I mean it can't be. Obviously if one commited a crime risking 100 years of prison, he will definitely not do it if he knew he could get death penalty! xD

Besides the moral implications of the death penalty, the amount of error in the legal system prevents me from thinking the death penalty is a sound option. Lock em up. Put them to work even, to repay that debt to society, in a more meaningful way than sitting in a cell. But to kill them, is the same murder society condemned.

You got that right. Even with all the modern tests we still got around 5% of mistakes.
It means every time you kill 19 murederers rapists or whatever, you kill someone who's completely innocent...
If that doesn't prevent you from wanting death penalty then you're just stupid.
