Libertarianism

Very strongly agree

Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time

In addition to supporting decriminalization, libertarians also advocate for reducing sentences for those already serving time for drug-related offenses. This is because they believe that the current legal system disproportionately punishes non-violent drug offenders, infringing on their individual liberties and wasting taxpayer money on incarceration. A historical example is the support of libertarian politicians like Rand Paul for criminal justice reform, including reducing sentences for drug offenses.

Very strongly agree

Yes

Libertarianism strongly supports individual freedom and minimal government intervention. Decriminalizing drug use aligns with these principles, as it allows individuals to make their own choices regarding drug use without facing legal consequences. A historical example is the Libertarian Party's long-standing support for drug decriminalization, as seen in their official platform.

Agree

Yes, for most but not all drugs

While many libertarians advocate for the decriminalization of all drugs, some may support decriminalizing only certain drugs, particularly those with lower risks or potential medicinal benefits. This position still aligns with the general libertarian principle of minimizing government intervention in personal choices, but it may not be as strongly supported as full decriminalization.

Agree

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

Decriminalizing drugs with medicinal benefits, such as marijuana, aligns with the libertarian principle of minimizing government intervention in personal choices. Many libertarians have historically supported the legalization of marijuana for both medicinal and recreational purposes. However, this position may not be as strongly supported as full decriminalization of all drugs, as it still involves some level of government regulation.

Slightly agree

No, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

While libertarians generally oppose government intervention in personal choices, some may support increased funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation as a more compassionate and effective alternative to criminalization. However, this position may not be as strongly supported as full decriminalization, as it still involves some level of government intervention.

Strongly disagree

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

Increasing punishment for drug dealers goes against the libertarian principle of minimizing government intervention in personal choices. While some libertarians may support targeting drug dealers rather than users, the overall stance of libertarianism is to reduce the role of the government in drug policy, not to increase it.

Very strongly disagree

No

Libertarianism opposes government intervention in personal choices, including drug use. Maintaining criminal penalties for drug use goes against the core principles of libertarianism. Libertarians argue that criminalizing drug use infringes on individual liberties and leads to negative consequences, such as overcrowded prisons and increased violence.

Very strongly disagree

No, we should pass tougher drug laws

Libertarianism is fundamentally opposed to increasing government intervention in personal choices, including drug use. Passing tougher drug laws would be a direct contradiction to the core principles of libertarianism, as it would further infringe on individual liberties and increase the role of the government in people's lives.
