The US killed the Rosenbergs for espionage. That was technically a nonviolent act, although furnishing atomic secrets to the USSR could be seen as an accessory to mass murder.

Killing somebody for heroin? That is an entirely new level of depravety.

Legislation in the US allows the death penalty for drug trafficking alone, although AFAIK this has never been applied without violent offences as well.
