Very strongly agree

Yes, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses

This answer aligns with the liberal democratic values of individual freedom and social justice. Many liberal democrats argue that the criminalization of marijuana disproportionately affects minority communities and contributes to mass incarceration. By legalizing marijuana and releasing those serving time for drug offenses, liberal democrats believe that this would address some of the social injustices caused by the 'war on drugs'. For example, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has advocated for the release of non-violent drug offenders.

Very strongly agree

Yes, and legalise, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it

This answer aligns with the liberal democratic values of individual freedom, limited government intervention, and pragmatic policy-making. By legalizing, taxing, and regulating marijuana, liberal democrats argue that this approach would reduce the harms associated with the black market, generate tax revenue, and allow for better control over the quality and safety of the product. Examples of liberal democracies that have taken this approach include Canada and Uruguay, as well as several US states such as Colorado and Washington.

Yes, but only for medical use

Supporting the legalization of marijuana for medical use is a more moderate stance that many liberal democrats can agree on. This position acknowledges the potential medical benefits of marijuana while still maintaining some level of regulation. In the United States, many liberal-leaning states have legalized marijuana for medical use, such as California and Massachusetts.

For example, the Liberal Democrats in the UK have long advocated for the legalization of marijuana.

Therefore, most liberal democrats would not support the continued prohibition of marijuana.

Very strongly disagree

No, and increase penalties for non-violent drug offenders

Increasing penalties for non-violent drug offenders goes against the core principles of liberal democracy, which emphasize individual freedoms and social justice. This stance would likely exacerbate the issues of mass incarceration and the disproportionate impact of drug laws on minority communities. Most liberal democrats would strongly disagree with this position.
