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.

This is ridiculous. Are you out of your mind? I support death penalty for felons such as rapists, pedophiles and murderers. But what about drug users? Do you want to kill someone just because he tried weed for fun?

He is not referring death penalty to drug users, if you read carefully you will understand that his statement are referring to the crime related incidents. This implies that he wants death penalty to stop people who are using drugs to stop doing crimes and death to drug peddlers and drug lords. One of the big reasons why crime is high is because of the increasing number of drug users. Drugs disrupts the neurons in our brains making the person to hallucinate, change their behavior that will result to making criminal deeds towards the society.

If a drug addict commits a minor crime such as theft, do you want him executed? If have no problem with death penalty, if the addict is committing crimes such as rape and murder under the influence of drugs. Such people must be eliminated. But the remaining drug addicts need treatment, not punishment.

Precisely. Thank you.

If the person in question used mind altering drugs willingly, then intoxication is no excuse, when infringing upon rights of others. Regardless if we are talking alcohol or LSD. Afterall this is not debate about mentally disabled, but perfectly healthy people, who are unable to show in self restraint - even if they know it will have destructive consequences.

There are times for soft approach, making excuses for filthy isnt it.
