Death penalty for "possession"? Did you mean trafficking? Here [1] it says,

> according to the Law on Public Security Administration Punishments, marijuana smokers shall be detained for 10 to 15 days and fined a maximum of 2,000 yuan.

I just meant possessing something in the normal sense not the legal sense. I don’t think death is a good penalty for something as benign as marijuana.
