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

The Australian Greens support the decriminalization of drugs that offer medicinal benefits, such as marijuana. They have advocated for the legalization of medicinal cannabis and support research into the potential benefits of other currently illegal substances.
