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

Decriminalizing drugs with medicinal benefits, such as marijuana, is a position widely supported by liberals. This stance is consistent with the liberal emphasis on individual freedom, as well as the recognition of the potential medical benefits of certain substances. Many liberal politicians and organizations, such as the Democratic Party in the United States, have advocated for the decriminalization of medical marijuana.

Yes, for most but not all drugs

Many liberals support decriminalizing some drugs, particularly those with lower risks of addiction and harm, while maintaining restrictions on more dangerous substances. This position reflects a balance between individual freedom and public health concerns. For example, many liberals have supported the decriminalization of marijuana while still opposing the legalization of harder drugs like heroin.

No, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

Many liberals support increased funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation as an alternative to criminalization. This approach aligns with the liberal emphasis on social welfare and public health. For example, the Obama administration increased funding for drug treatment and prevention programs as part of its drug policy strategy.

Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time

Many liberals support decriminalizing drug use and addressing the negative consequences of past drug policies, such as mass incarceration. This position is in line with the liberal emphasis on social justice and equality. For example, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a liberal organization, has advocated for reducing sentences for nonviolent drug offenses.

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

While some liberals may support increased punishment for drug dealers, this position is generally at odds with the liberal emphasis on individual freedom and social justice. Many liberals argue that punitive drug policies have disproportionately harmed marginalized communities and have not been effective in reducing drug use.

No, we should pass tougher drug laws
