Yes, for most but not all drugs

Some social democrats in the United States may support decriminalizing most but not all drugs, as they recognize the potential harm caused by certain substances. This approach is in line with the progressive drug policies of countries like Portugal, which has decriminalized the use of all drugs but maintains criminal penalties for the trafficking of certain substances.
