Historical context, of course shooting someone for dealing is dumb. It's something that a lot of people are cool with though.
For example, in America, "shoot your local heroin dealer" is a common trope in communities effected by the opioid epidemic. In China, their fairly recent history with the opium wars still has a lot of people hating drugs.
Hopefully as the peasantry is proletarianized and educated, a more scientific approach can be taken. For right now though, that would be a broadly unpopular thing to do outside of the more urban areas.
