Yeah drug dealers don't deserve a worse penalty than child rapers. I don't get it at all, it's not like they're forcing ppl to buy drugs from them. As a recovering addict, I take responsibility for my decisions. I don't blame the people who sold to me and want them dead. That's ridiculous.
Think of it this way: drug dealers cause more harm to society than most, not all, but most child rapists as a bulk force. I mean, they literally do and have destabilized entire countries. Drug dealers literally brought China to it's knees in the opium wars and allowed them to be brutally exploited by the West and Japan for many decades which is why the Chinese have such harsh view on the subject that no amount of debate would ever be able to get through because the scar from that time hasn't healed if it ever will or honestly should. It stinks and yes child rapists are significantly individually more evil, but most don't lead to a century of humiliation. Least not on their own.
I appreciate the well worded reply but I firmly believe the person seeking out a drug dealer and buying from them and then doing the drug is the one who is responsible.
I'm not saying the person willingly going to the drug dealer does not bare culpability anymore than a person looking for CP does not bare culpability. I am merely saying that the one who preys upon people's weaknesses and insecurities and ultimately makes their profits off of their long term misery in pursuit of short term escapism barea MORE responsibility and at this point should be given more punishment than their usual clientele because they are literally capable of crushing mighty nations through merely getting people addicted to their product.
Did you not hear the stat that each drug dealer, on average, is responsible for 500 people dying? Doesn't someone who is responsible for the death of 500 people deserve the death penalty? Wouldn't someone who is responsible for 50 people dying deserve the death penalty? Even 10 people would be enough. I've always felt sympathy for addicts, but have no sympathy for the dealers.
But the pushers are taking advantage of the depravity of the addicts, which is much worse, and, if it weren't for the pushers, there wouldn't be so many overdose deaths. Where would addicts get their drugs if there were no pushers?
They'd find a way, trust me lol. Just as an example: let's say all the drug dealers disappeared one day, users could simply start making their own or find legal highs. Benzedrex inhalers are already popular amongst meth and former meth users, Imodium AD for opiate users, hallucinogen users can grow their own spores or just buy morning glory flower seeds.
I know that isn't necessarily your point but I'm just saying that certain types of people will always try to find a way to instantly change how they feel inside.

It would be a lil harder to differentiate but I do agree that the predatory ones are scumbags for sure.

No, the person buying the drugs and taking the drugs is responsible.
