Only Marijuana and tax it at 99%. Life sentences for anyone who grows their own

 @4THS3BKfrom New South Wales  answered…4yrs4Y

No, we should have the political will to remove the drugs from our streets. I'm sure the authorities know who the dealers/importers are and are most likely to be. I honestly think that it is such a lucrative black market business that the government turns a blind eye or lacks the political will to enforce the law.

Strongly support medical license drugs such as marijuana and ketamine - though wish to keep them medicinal

 @B4KYT5Janswered…1wk1W

Yes, but there should be some people allowed to acquire these drugs through a system, such as a 'drug license', which people can apply for with supervision from a medical doctor who knows about the condition or a local hospital. This will allow drugs to be administered but only to those who need it. licenses for particular drugs (drugs known to not have to be taken for life) should be renewed every 5 years, with close supervision from a doctor or hospital.

No, mandate rehabilitation instead of imprisonment for users, while implementing harsher sentences for dealers.

 @B4D8JNJanswered…2wks2W

Decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits and treat addictions as a medical problem not a crime. Drug dealing should still be a criminal offence

 @B495XZXanswered…3wks3W

It depends on which drugs, increase funding for addiction/rehab, if there are people in jail because of Marijuana, their sentence should be reduced.

 @B2S5G9Canswered…2mos2MO

yes but massively increase support for people needing help with addictive substances, with harm reduction and rehab and housing first.
