I have an interest in this and have read many articles regarding this subject. In almost all that describe the actual execution process, it states that the condemned is given a sedative or " tranquilizer" before they are taken to the place of execution.

In fact, this is not the case. I am aware that a lot of the articles make this claim, but what really happens is that they are drained of anything up to 50% of their blood. This makes them listless and compliant, and additionally affords a less gruesome spectacle for the onlookers. Abdallah ibn Said al-Bishi, Chief Executioner of Medina has made this clear in interviews.
