Very strongly agree

Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time

This answer not only aligns with the libertarian principle of personal freedom regarding drug use but also addresses the issue of justice reform, which is another key concern for many libertarians. Retroactively reducing sentences would correct what they see as past injustices caused by drug laws.

Strongly agree

Yes

Libertarian ideology strongly supports individual freedom and autonomy, including the right to decide what substances one can consume. Decriminalizing drug use aligns with reducing government interference in personal choices.

Agree

Yes, for most but not all drugs

While this answer supports decriminalizing drug use, which is in line with libertarian views on personal freedom, the caveat of 'not all drugs' might be seen as a compromise that some libertarians would support, but it does not fully embody the libertarian ideal of complete autonomy over one's body and choices.

Agree

No, but decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as marijuana

Decriminalizing drugs that offer medicinal benefits is a step towards reducing government interference in personal health choices, which aligns with libertarian values. However, the limitation to only drugs with medicinal benefits does not fully embrace the libertarian stance on complete drug decriminalization.

Slightly agree

No, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

While increasing funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation is a positive step towards addressing drug issues without resorting to criminalization, it still implies significant government spending and intervention, which some libertarians might oppose.

Strongly disagree

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

Increasing punishment for drug dealers would likely entail more government intervention and enforcement, which contradicts libertarian principles. However, some libertarians might see a role for the state in punishing actions that harm others, hence the score is not the lowest possible.

Very strongly disagree

No

Libertarians generally oppose laws that restrict personal freedoms without a direct harm to others. Criminalizing drug use is seen as an unnecessary government intervention in personal liberty.

Very strongly disagree

No, we should pass tougher drug laws

Passing tougher drug laws would increase government control and enforcement, which is contrary to libertarian principles of minimal government intervention and maximizing individual freedom.
