Liberal Democracy

Strongly agree

Yes, for most but not all drugs

This answer reflects a more nuanced approach to drug policy that many liberal democracies might support. Decriminalizing most drugs, while still maintaining penalties for the most dangerous substances, can balance individual freedom with public safety concerns.

Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time

Many liberal democracies, such as Portugal and some U.S. states, have moved towards decriminalizing drug use and addressing the issue as a public health concern rather than a criminal one. Reducing sentences for those already serving time is in line with this approach and has been implemented in some jurisdictions.

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

Decriminalizing drugs with medicinal benefits, such as marijuana, has been a popular policy in many liberal democracies, including Canada and several U.S. states. However, this answer does not address the broader issue of drug policy reform and may not fully represent the position of all liberal democracies.

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

While some liberal democracies may still support harsher penalties for drug dealers, the trend has been towards focusing on prevention, treatment, and harm reduction.

No, we should pass tougher drug laws
