Only Marijuana and tax it at 99%. Life sentences for anyone who grows their own

 @4THS3BKfrom New South Wales  answered…4yrs4Y

No, we should have the political will to remove the drugs from our streets. I'm sure the authorities know who the dealers/importers are and are most likely to be. I honestly think that it is such a lucrative black market business that the government turns a blind eye or lacks the political will to enforce the law.

 @8KYXNYHanswered…4yrs4Y

Strongly support medical license drugs such as marijuana and ketamine - though wish to keep them medicinal

 @B4BRQXTanswered…2 days2D

Yes, for most but not for all drugs, and reteoactively reduce sentences for those already serving time.

 @B495XZXanswered…5 days5D

It depends on which drugs, increase funding for addiction/rehab, if there are people in jail because of Marijuana, their sentence should be reduced.

 @B493FQZLaboranswered…5 days5D

Controlled by Government like in Portugal, shouldn't be controlled by the free market initially, until real world impacts are seen.

 @B492J8Canswered…5 days5D

Yes but not for all drugs and implement a system to manage use while operating machinery and cars similar to alcohol.

 @B2JPYVWanswered…2mos2MO

Decriminalise marijuana, increase addiction prevention and rehab funding, reduce sentences for non-violent possession crimes, increase punishment for dealers and drug traffickers

 @B2BNNXYanswered…3mos3MO

regulate and tax drugs that have a potential for medicinal and recreational use that has a limited impact on society

 @B28SZVManswered…3mos3MO

Yes, for a few such as decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as marijuana; increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation; and retroactively reduce sentences for already serving time with regards to marijuana based crimes

 @B3XHHSXOne Nationanswered…3wks3W

Yes- Only low impact drugs like marijuana. Other laws should be enforced as a duty of care though eg. Unable to operate a vehicle under to influence. Also implement relative fines and introduce self testing points/ devices. RBT's to incorporate these drugs as well.

 @B3T23YDanswered…3wks3W

Yes all drugs must be decriminalised. The act of taking a drug should not be a crime. Many drugs are not dangerous when regulated, drugs that are should be treated.

 @B3QG99Yanswered…4wks4W

Decriminalise drugs, and introduce social programs to help a person recover, get support, rehabilitate, etc. Also, understanding the actual mechanisms for addiction is important, which are not as people traditionally believe them to be. Portugal has a very good model to follow on this.

 @B3JHP3Vanswered…1mo1MO

Yes, for some drugs (medicinal/harmless), and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time for those in question. Additionally, increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

 @B3GGVBYanswered…1mo1MO

Keep criminalised for high dosage, introduce more drug testing at big events for amounts classed as personal use

 @B3GB22Qanswered…1mo1MO

no, we should keep ban drug use unless it is prescribed and is used for medicinal purpose, however, the criminal sentence should be fair and according to the issues. E.g, if an individuals is find with limited amount of marijuana they should be sentenced with fair and appropriate sentencing such as a fine or community service instead of jail times as it significantly impacts the future and potentials that is not equalevent to the 'crime' which they have commited.

 @B39LZMHanswered…1mo1MO

No, but decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits but also increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation.

 @B38LR9LGreenanswered…1mo1MO

I believe marijuana should be legalised for prescription use and be more accessible for low income health care coverage

 @B35DK7Ganswered…1mo1MO

We need to increase awareness, education and compassion amongst the community. Also supporting the addicts to recovery, removing the shackles of shame and with effective recovery programs introducing purpose and connection

 @B33P8JXanswered…1mo1MO

Yes, but after testing of each substance. Make it the same deal as alcohol & nicotine. High tax. Your choice. But still criminal offence to drive under influence/work etc.

 @B2ZKM4MGreenanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only drugs that are not as damaging like marijuana. drug dealers should receive stricter punishments and drug addicts should be admitted to rehab, not jail.

 @B2S5G9Canswered…2mos2MO

yes but massively increase support for people needing help with addictive substances, with harm reduction and rehab and housing first.

 @B2R7QSJanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits, increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation, and reduce sentences for those already serving

 @B2PQSJFanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, with the exception of extremely harmful drugs and increase funding for harm minimisation, and rehabilitation

 @B2MJPPRanswered…2mos2MO

Only decriminalise drugs that do not harm its usersand the people around them with moderate use (eg. alcohol and marijuana), there should also be more rehabilitation facilities and the drugs in question should be monitored by the Australian Pharmaceutical Association to make sure they are safe for consumer use. However it should be punishable for selling unregulated drugs and also selling to minors. Non-violent, personal-quantity, possession based crimes should not have required jail time

 @9ZMSSFBLaboranswered…5mos5MO

The criteria for which drugs are illegal must be consistent. There is no scientifically literate argument for why marijuana is worse for you than alcohol.

 @9XV95S3answered…5mos5MO

no but decriminalise marijuana and other medicinal drugs and put more money and effort into rehabilitation programs. Drug dealers should serve longer sentences though.

 @9WTP3DCanswered…5mos5MO

The government should produce and distribute drugs to the public, charging distributors licensing fees and taxing drugs similarly to alcohol or tobacco. It should then punish black market providers more harshly.

 @9WNC52Zanswered…5mos5MO

Yes, but limited to marijuana and the tax and fines associated to go towards NDIS supports and drug rehabilitation programs.

 @9VYZVPJanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, increase funding for programs that provide free drug testing and safe injection equipment while increasing funded prevention and rehabilitation programs

 @9VQ8C6Banswered…6mos6MO

Decriminalise drugs like marijuana. Any hard drugs should be banned, and there should be harsher punishments for those dealing said hard drugs. However, someone feeling solely marijuana that is not laced, should not be forced into a 20 year prison sentence, while rapists get off free

 @9VMNGVCanswered…6mos6MO

no, but we should both decriminalise medicinal drugs like marijuana but also increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

 @9V4DD6Kanswered…6mos6MO

Yes, but only after extensive research has been completed to prove the safety of the drugs and that it be treated the same as alcohol

 @9TCBGDXanswered…7mos7MO

Yes, reduce sentences for those serving and spend money on programs to rehabilitate users back in to society and make services accessible

 @9SMKKPVanswered…7mos7MO

Only decriminalise drugs that do not harm its users and the people around them, there should also be more rehabilitation facilities and the drugs in question should be monitored by the Australian Pharmaceutical Association to make sure they are safe for consumer use. However it should be punishable for selling unregulated drugs and also selling to minors.

 @9RZRC7Panswered…8mos8MO

Drug use should be treated as a medical issue rather than a criminal issue, however, laws around dealing drugs should still be intact.

 @9RJFBD4answered…8mos8MO

Yes but with regulation, we should allow people of society to purchase non-harmful drugs of all sorts, but the more harmful drugs should be limited and people should have a certain amount regulation, and all harmful and addictive drugs with exceptions should not be provided to people with criminal records involving drugs, same with people with history’s of addiction.

 @9RBCFVBanswered…8mos8MO

Possibly, not for all drugs of course and make sure to provide help and rehabilitation to anyone struggling with addiction

 @9N5TTK7answered…10mos10MO

No, decriminilise drugs that offer medicinal benefits, but ensure that people have permission from medical experts to buy them, increase funding for rehab, up the punishments for drug dealers

 @9LGJBTGLiberalfrom Florida  answered…12mos12MO

No, but the government should give drugs to people already using them, and then provide a smaller dose, so the people who are addicted to drugs are in a safe place and taking a safe amount before they translate themself without a life of drugs.

 @9L4BH6SLaboranswered…1yr1Y

Lots of illegal drugs are bad, but some are very useful for medicinal uses. Whether it's for pain numbing or rehab.

 @9L49HMRanswered…1yr1Y

i dont really care too much, as long as their are facilities helping individuals who want to become sober from the drug and their are public information informing the public on the potential dangers, then we chill

 @9KXGYL4Laboranswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but increase penalties for those who sell drugs and increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation.

 @9KX3S3HGreenanswered…1yr1Y

No, decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as marijuana and increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

 @9KC2TYNGreenanswered…1yr1Y

No, but fund addiction prevention and rehabilitation as well as introduce reduced sentences for offenders

 @9KC232VLiberalanswered…1yr1Y

All drugs use for recreational use should be banned and gotten rid of, but for pain and helping with health should have a prescription to have.

 @9K7XKCBGreenanswered…1yr1Y

I would be in favour of decriminalising drug use but only alongside the introduction of an extensive rehabilitation and education program that would replace the role of the judicial system in cases of consumption

 @9JZHZTBLaboranswered…1yr1Y

If the drugs are medication then it should be decriminalised, otherwise drugs should not be decriminalised.

 @9JYQZTLanswered…1yr1Y

we should help the addicts become unaddicted and sober. so we need to put more funding into rehab centres and support them because addiction is an illness. we also need to have free mental health care that way people wont become addicted easily.

 @9J4TZC4Laboranswered…1yr1Y

Yes all drugs should be fully legalised and suppliers to register as ligit businesses and be taxed accordingly

 @9J4RHD4Laboranswered…1yr1Y

Yes, but increase the education in drugs and have it censored/ controlled/given out by medical professionals based on the individuals preferences, history and geneti s.

 @9H7CWNHanswered…1yr1Y

put laws in place to regulate drug use and increase funding for rehabilitation and addiction prevention

 @9GX2QD5Jacquie Lambie Networkanswered…1yr1Y

if the drugs are medicated then they should be decriminalised but drugs like tobacco and all of the drugs such as tobacco meth and cocaine then they should be criminalised and test the drugs so if they can be medication or not

 @9GL9ZRYanswered…1yr1Y

I think that we should still have drug laws, but when people become addicted or go to jail for these things, take them to a rehab centre instead of jail.

 @9G7SN4G answered…1yr1Y

Yes, include sentence reduction for serving and positve rehabilitation and community connection programs.

 @9FXXVTTanswered…1yr1Y

Yes because the main culprits are the ones who actually manufacture and sell drugs. By decriminalising drug use, we aren't targeting the root problem.

 @9FVS3ZQGreenanswered…1yr1Y

It ultimately depends on the kind of drugs, though one thing for sure is that the war on drugs is a humanitarian crisis and we need to relax our restrictions and focus on more humane methods of reducing illegal and harmful drug usage. We should provide aid to those addicted to drugs rather than punishing them. More humane alternatives to prison sentencing must be provided for non-violent and other certain drug offenses. We should also relax restrictions on medical drugs and marijuana.

 @9FQRWKKanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but provide support for those who suffer from addictions so that they can get through it and live a good life.

 @9FCQBMHanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, for recreational marijuana and for managed/prescribed psychedelic use by a physician

 @9DXR7GGGreenanswered…2yrs2Y

 @9DX3JX6Greenanswered…2yrs2Y

It is important for people who are addicted to drugs to receive proper treatment and care for their addiction. The dealing of dangerous drugs should be criminalized (it is), but for usage, there shouldn't be a punishment, just government covered care. after their hospitalization as well, there should be regular mandatory check us to make sure usage hasn't started again. however, for dealers who do not use, there should be a punishment for active human harm.

 @9DF898BGreenanswered…2yrs2Y

The community is going to use drugs but we should enforce safer ways to do it

 @9D7895Ranswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, only marijuana. also legalize the plantation of drugs such as marijuana and tobacco.

 @9D4PYM6One Nationanswered…2yrs2Y

 @9VRCL25answered…6mos6MO

Yes, for most but not all drugs, and have high recovery laws. A person should wait for 24 to 48 hours before driving a car.

 @9VCCZPHanswered…6mos6MO

I think that both increased funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation are very important but also that medicinal drugs should be legalised so that they can be monitored better to prevent addiction to those.

 @8MCSTJQanswered…4yrs4Y

well some drugs are good for people who are prescribed to them but non prescribed drugs are notgood

 @8WFDLP6Laboranswered…3yrs3Y

Heavily depends on the drug, some aren't as big of a deal as they are made out to be and should be decriminalized, if only for the sake of those addicted and sourcing from unsafe avenues.

 @99Z78G8answered…2yrs2Y

For things like cannabis and natural psychedelics; yes. For dangerous substances like methanphetamine, or flakka (zombie drug); drugs like this; no.

 @99Z5QLTanswered…2yrs2Y

 @99YGS9Nanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but put in place strong rehabilitation programs and addiction prevention

 @98LDNWJfrom Massachusetts  answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, and release all non violent drug offenders (except if they sold to minors they deserve to rot if they've done that)

 @967XWZLanswered…2yrs2Y

drugs used for medical reasons are fine but drugs that can seriously damage people should be illegal

 @967XSYKanswered…2yrs2Y

yes, drugs being illegal only create more drug trafficking and consequently more deaths, since a individual who wants to do drugs will do drugs regardless if its legal or not, but if those drugs were legal the individual would know that he's getting the real drug instead of a laced one. schools should teach more about the risks of taking every drug not only illegal but legal ones as well. but every drug should be banned the using in public spaces

 @95VV6ZBLaboranswered…3yrs3Y

Yes but only for marijuana and decrease or pardon the sentences of those incarcerated for marijuana based offences

 @95DVQNQanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time and increase funding for addiction prevention and rehab

 @94FSTM5answered…3yrs3Y

It depends on the drug, drugs which cause extreme harm to individuals and cannot reduce this risk by decriminalisation, then it should stay this way.

 @94BQP9Yanswered…3yrs3Y

 @946Z83Vanswered…3yrs3Y

 @93Y9BNRanswered…3yrs3Y

 @93W9JMKanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes but only with alcohol, marijuana and cigarettes. All other drugs should have tough laws on them unless they're needed medically.

 @93TQBBNanswered…3yrs3Y

Yes, however i dont belive that medicinal drugs should be discriminated angainst, for example, marajuana. There is evidence that it has helped stop shaking in people with Parkinsins

 @93NWWBTanswered…3yrs3Y

No, but decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits and offer rehab rather than prision for other substance abusers

 @93F44CFanswered…3yrs3Y

It’s shouldn’t be a crime but rather a reform to help the drug user

 @93BK4M8Laboranswered…3yrs3Y

No, but decriminalise medicinal drug and benefits and increase funding for addiction and rehabilitation centers.
