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).

To me this depends on that transparency of the dealer with their customers. For instance : a drug dealer who sells cocaine, and doesn’t Cut it with anything, doesn’t deserve the same sentence as a drug dealer who sells cocaine but sneakily cuts it with substances like fentanyl. These are two very different crimes and should be treated as such.

It depends on the extent of damage they've done to society.

No, but in order to decree a fair punishment you need to carefully assess their involvement (drug mules i.e.).
