Since 1999, the executions of drug smugglers have become more common in Indonesia, Iran, China and Pakistan. In March 2018, U.S. President Donald Trump proposed executing drug traffickers to fight his country’s opioid epidemic. 32 countries impose the death penalty for drug smuggling. Seven of these countries (China, Indonesia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Singapore) routinely execute drug offenders. Asia and the Middle East’s tough approach contrasts with many Western countries who have legalized cannabis in recent years (selling cannabis in Saudi Arabia is punished by beheading).

Unique answers from Sweden users whose views extended beyond the provided choices.
@9G652YR7mos7MO
The death penalty is not legal under the European Convention on Human Rights and therefore this question is irrelevant.
@958GLKK2yrs2Y
Depends on how bad they were
@94HH78J2yrs2Y
No. I think minimum 10 years in prison without parole and be forced to do community service on a daily basis.
@94G5GWG2yrs2Y
Only if the amount of drugs are in the multiple kilo range, and evidence that it was on multiple occasions and someone died because of the drugs. Marihuana would not fall in this category.
@93GD7882yrs2Y
No, but involve them in community work under imprisonment
@8XCLCM92yrs2Y
It depends on the circumstances, but probably not.
