Yes and improve education on drugs so people know what they’re getting into

 @8SG5GZ3Greenanswered…3yrs3Y

No, but money should be put towards rehabilitation and drugs such as marijuana should be legal as it is less harmful than legal drugs such as alcohol

 @8P32KJWanswered…3yrs3Y

No but decriminalise drugs that offer medical benefits and increase funding for prevention and rehabilitation

 @9289QFLLabouranswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but as a first step to full legalisation ideally within some sort of multinational treaty, as decriminalisation does little to address the global issues of drug-related humanitarian and environmental harm

 @8ZJ4Y4BLiberal Democratanswered…2yrs2Y

Making certain drugs (i.e cannabis) legal for medicinal use, for example the treatment of seizures

 @8ZZGZR5answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, and we should provide support to drug users through addiction prevention and rehabilitation.

 @8R6TZDGanswered…3yrs3Y

 @8SM3D3KLabouranswered…3yrs3Y

No and increase punishment for dealers. Only exception would be highly regulated medicinal marijuana

 @8KJS969answered…4yrs4Y

I would decriminalise all drugs as I believe in putting the emphasis on rehabilitation and a new social care plan to help people understand the effects of drugs. I think by decriminalising all drugs, this will lead to the reduction in overdoses, HIV infections, and drug related crime.

 @8PQQKK7commented…3yrs3Y

Yes

Yes that is exactly the thing we need to do Switzerland tried this in the 1980s when they had a heroine problem to amazing results. ( 50% drop in deaths by heroine overdoses is just one of the amazing results)

 @8HRXTPNanswered…4yrs4Y

No, we should pass tougher drug laws No, and increase punishment for drug dealers No, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation No, but decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as

 @8PQQKK7disagreed…3yrs3Y

Yes

That would not work as we have been doing this for decades with no positive results. The way to go is harm reduction. ( helping people to deal with drugs and reducing the risks)

 @9LQMDG9answered…3 days3D

yes, I feel that drug abuse should be managed as a mental and physical health problem where the individual should not be punished but instead helped to find a way of drugs, which is tailored to the individual's situation and behaviour limitations. I am al for punishing criminals who are profiting off unclean, unregulated drugs including big corporations like big pharma should be penalised heavily if they are putting people at greater risk of harm than necessary in the aim if gaining more profit. also a new way to educate everyone about the use of long-term drug abuse which may include all types of drugs recreational and medical. To teach everything in moderation. Conduct more studies into long term drug use benefits and risks.

 @9LNFM9Zanswered…7 days7D

most drugs including alcohol and class A and B, marijuana should be legalised for medicinal and recreational use

 @9LMLQDHanswered…1wk1W

Government should have a monopoly on drugs, and they control how the drugs are made, and they should only be sold at licensed pharmacies

 @9LLV9S6answered…1wk1W

I think a better solution would be to review each drug in turn and look to regulate and tax certain substances

 @9LKZY8H answered…1wk1W

Yes, but only medicinal drugs, and there should be a larger freedom to do test which theorise bettering mental health

 @9LKVTYDanswered…1wk1W

Only drugs with proven medicinal use and to be medically monitored and administered to be legalised.

 @9LKT5DZanswered…1wk1W

decriminalising medicinal drugs + increased addiction prevention and rehabilitation. generally improve things and drug use will decrease

 @9LJTGJManswered…2wks2W

I think marijuana should be available on the NHS, for people that need it. And more needs to be done to keep illegal drugs off the streets

 @9LJN3GBanswered…2wks2W

Made it illegal for the government make it drug users can get what they need and there will be not dealers

 @9LH6YGNanswered…2wks2W

My sympathies lie with the victims of drug induced crimes such as burglary and robbery. If all drugs were offered f.o.c. by government controlled clinics with the proviso that rehab clinic attendance was mandatory the market would be destroyed which makes supply source dry up for illegal use. Users have the option not to take harmful substances, but victims of the consequent crime have none.

 @9LDRMDWanswered…3wks3W

Yes, and release those imprisoned for drug related offences and wipe clean the criminal records of those convicted in the past for drug related offences.

 @9LD7R3Sanswered…3wks3W

Yes for most drugs especially those that have medicinal benefits. Extremely harmful and addictive drugs should be criminalised. Regardless, increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

 @9LB9NJPLabouranswered…3wks3W

Yes, for all drugs, and provide funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation, and additionally punish those dealing drugs harsher.

 @9L9LYFBanswered…3wks3W

Yes, but first the correct support and rehabilitation programmes and facilities need to be put in place to support addicts

 @9L99N23answered…3wks3W

Drug use for personal use could be decriminalise but people involing others suchs as selling, driving under the influence or causing public nuisance should be still illegal

 @9L879JSanswered…4wks4W

YES very important to NOT hold the user accountable and we need more access to some substances on a legal level for cognative and behavial but after some research.

my advice look to the US Cannabis market first don't sell the LEAF only import the concentrate pre-distilled

see THC extract could become the new WINE in 200 years as the substance has a very spread out effect some gives muscel control so could be useful for MS sufferers or people. but autism and ADHD could also be treated with a threshold daily dose too.

but again i am aware abuse of substances can be harmful too we haven…  Read more

 @9L82H3Banswered…4wks4W

Where there is evidence from other places in the world that has done this, we should see if we could successfully apply this here - having taken into account all the factors like hospital admissions, addictions, deaths, legal system and prisons etc

 @9L32M42answered…1mo1MO

It depends on what type of drug. For example cannabis, if it is bought from specific shops dedicated to seeking cannabis (similar to what the Netherlands have)

 @9L2JL9XConservativeanswered…1mo1MO

Decriminalise Drugs Like Marijuana But Increase Funding For Additction Prevention And Rehabilitation For Harsher Drugs Like LSD Or Cocaine.

 @9KZM6FNanswered…1mo1MO

Decriminalise marijuana and offer this via the NHS where it can be taxed and some of the profits put back in to providing greater healthcare and training.

 @9KZM56Sanswered…1mo1MO

Yes, but only for Cannabis. Both medicinal and recreational. Psilocybin to be medicinal purposes as well.

 @9KYNGTRConservativeanswered…1mo1MO

Should be like Canada. Available to all to people don’t do it just because it’s behind a locked door

 @9KYJVJ3answered…1mo1MO

Yes but for weed mainly or other drugs that have been proven to be not deadly/harmful and can have a medical benefit

 @9KY94YDanswered…1mo1MO

We might as well. There are all sorts of drugs in the medical system that are already legal, but are more harmful than a lot of illegal drugs.

 @9KX82G7answered…1mo1MO

Yes, but discourage recreational use and focus on prevention through education on effects to health and providing alternative support for managing problems

 @9KWK275answered…1mo1MO

Everything but weed and help people who do use drugs in mass amounts slowly not use as much and controll weed use

 @9KSWXMFanswered…1mo1MO

I feel the government should legalise and regulate all currently illegal drugs while making it an offence to use non sanctioned sources of those drugs. increasing government revenue, decreasing the burden on the prison system and reducing the damage drugs do to society

 @9KHJ8QPanswered…2mos2MO

Decriminalise some, but make sure that it is handled well and than rehab and similar is always available. Make sure that whatever is legalised isn't causing significant negative effect once legalised

 @9KGF9XMfrom Alberta answered…2mos2MO

Yes because people will get access to drugs anyway. I believe that if they are suitably regulated by pharmaceutical companies and they aren’t being made for profit. I also believe that they should be an age limit

 @9KFQFZSanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but only weed should be decriminalised. As well as retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time for weed related crimes.

 @9KDM9N5answered…2mos2MO

Only class c with strong restrictions on which one you can buy but anyone who sells it without license has a harsh punishment

 @9K4Z6M5answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but with restrictions and taxations putting that tax into rehabilitation and addiction prevention.

 @9K33F4Janswered…2mos2MO

We must focus efforts on understanding and treating the causes of drug use and not criminalising the symptom of drug use
