I don't think so. Everybody should be able to promote whatever ideas they want without fear of death. And besides, if we had to kill anybody who ever promoted the prohibition of cannabis, psilocybin or alcohol then we'd have to kill off most of humanity. I would support the death penalty for many authoritarians because of their actions showing total comtempt for human life, such as the murderers in charge of our government who denied money to reinforce New Orleans' levees so they could bomb some more Iraqi children to smithereens for their oil. But not for their words. The death penalty for expressing ideas is contrary to the idea of freedom of speech, and throughout all of history it has never succeeded in getting rid of those ideas, or accomplishing anything positive. In fact, the people who believe in those ideas will believe in them even more strongly if they have some martyrs.
