Yes, for personal use, so that police resources can be allocated towards targeting drug smugglers and gangs instead of individual use

 @8PVJ375answered…6yrs6Y

 @8SG5GZ3Greenanswered…5yrs5Y

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

 @8QTGPGKanswered…5yrs5Y

yes, but only for drugs such as weed. Alcohol is a drug that does more harm that weed and it is legal.

 @8TMGFHZGreenanswered…5yrs5Y

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

 @8ZJ4Y4BLiberal Democratanswered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8ZS9DGWanswered…4yrs4Y

 @8KJS969answered…6yrs6Y

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…6yrs6Y

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)

 @8QWLM56answered…5yrs5Y

Yes, but the sale, distribution and illegal growing of banned substances should still be a criminal offense.

 @8R6TZDGanswered…5yrs5Y

 @8ZZGZR5answered…4yrs4Y

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

 @9289QFLLabouranswered…4yrs4Y

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

 @8HRXTPNanswered…6yrs6Y

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…6yrs6Y

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)

 @BDZYJDKanswered…6 days6D

Adopt an approach the tackles the issues of drugs as an addiction, mental health and public health concern. Adopt the approach taken by the Swiss and Portuguese to tackle drugs addiction that is designed to treat it as an addiction. The current war on drugs has failed. Some drugs should be decriminalised not all. Drug dealers should largely been imprisoned as they are only concerned about the money.

 @BDZXGVXanswered…6 days6D

No, but dealers should be given punishments akin to attempted murder, and funding for addiction should be increased

 @BDZW44Banswered…6 days6D

 @BDZ4Y6Zanswered…1wk1W

Only light drugs ,the hard drugs like MDMA or amphetamine should be kept criminalised

 @BDY7GFWanswered…2wks2W

only for the least dangerous drugs that can and are used recreationaly

 @BDXZ96NGreenfrom Maine  answered…2wks2W

Drug use should be decriminalised for those suffering from addiction and should be warned against but should not for those distributing the drugs and creating said addictions.

 @BDRRX27answered…4wks4W

Yes, but only for drugs which are non fatal, with strict consumption limits

 @BDR2VJ3answered…4wks4W

No, with the exception of marijuana which should be legalised, taxed and regulated and if that is successful then other class C drugs can be gradually legalised too.

 @BDPLX8Sanswered…4wks4W

Yes but only for cannabis, except for smoking it. It should be sold through government approved dispensaries and heavily taxed. We should also look through people in prison and release people who are in for possession.

 @BDP38PWReform UKanswered…1mo1MO

Yes, for Drugs such as Weed as we have drugs such as Alcohol which are legal, more harmful, and cost taxpayers more due to the impact

 @BDNZVTDGreenanswered…1mo1MO

Yes only for cannabis to be regulated and sold under license just like with alcohol beverage, but not for the rest of the drugs. Tougher sentences for drug dealers caught selling drugs.

 @BDNGYFGanswered…1mo1MO

Druga such as weed should be legalised. However, those who need help with other high risk drug addictions are able to get health care to help them recover safely

 @BDMDNFDanswered…1mo1MO

possible decriminalisation of weed, but upping the starting age to 21, and it not be allowed on the streets only in designated areas that are not public and not normal smoking areas. more for medicinal things. and drug dealers bigger sentences for other drugs.

 @BDK4M44 answered…1mo1MO

For marijuana yes, also retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time for marijuana drug use. DO NOT reduce sentences for those on drug related assults and driving convinctions.

 @9WTN5BT  from Maine  answered…1mo1MO

Yes, focus on the smugglers and the gangs; and increase funding for rehabilitation and public health information.

 @BDHDCMHanswered…1mo1MO

i think some drugs that are illegal such as cannibas is worse than alchohol but i dont think it should be as easy as walking inti a shop to get it

 @BDH4Z69 answered…1mo1MO

 @BDGSQW5answered…1mo1MO

This is nuanced based on what those drugs are and their affects on the person

 @BDGQ3N6answered…1mo1MO

Yes, for marihuana. No for others. I think we should focus more on rehabilitation than justice.

 @BDGNN3CLiberal Democratanswered…1mo1MO

Yes we should and I think drug users should be decimalised and offered help. Drug dealers benefiting from addicts should be prossicuted.

 @BDGDXH5answered…1mo1MO

Yes, possibly legalise cannabis and magic mushrooms. Decriminalise possession for personal use for others but not for supplying.

 @BDGBQZ4answered…1mo1MO

 @BDGBPG2answered…1mo1MO

 @BDGB2C6answered…1mo1MO

weed should be legal but other drugs should be treated as a health emergeny rather than criminal. force rehabs

 @BDG7XNNGreenanswered…1mo1MO

Yes, but only cannabis should ever become as readily available as alcohol. All other drugs should only be available to addicts in safe settings and medical use

 @BDFTNV6answered…1mo1MO

Decriminalising certain drugs under quantity and quality control and increase funding for addiction and rehabilitation

 @BDFN9SXfrom British Columbia  answered…1mo1MO

Yes, for marijuna, but not others, but also increase funding for those addicted to the others

 @BC26DQLanswered…3mos3MO

Only cannabis should be legalised, and we should introduce safe spaces for drug addicts to take drugs like they do in Scotland

 @BBXQPXManswered…3mos3MO

I think marijuana and magic mushroom can be regulated and legalised, but drugs like crack, cocaine and heroine should still be illegal

 @BBVH8SRanswered…3mos3MO

Yes, only if the studies showing decriminalisation has a positive effect on the combating the illegal supply chain of drugs, as well as lowering the number of those suffering with addictions and the number of overdoses.

 @BBQGW3Yanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, but make tougher laws for smuggling and illegal sales; and fund the medical issues of addiction.

 @BBDRSZS answered…4mos4MO

No because its illegal and your spreading addiction and may have people pear pressure other people into drugs all because of that one person

 @BB9Q4ZM answered…4mos4MO

Yes lower class drugs such as weed but not for drugs like fentanyl heroin and cocaine and also increase funding for those in addiction to any drug

 @BB6HL3Canswered…4mos4MO

Medical cannabis should be allowed but regulated and more rehabilitation and prevention programmes need to be introduced

 @BB3SFL2answered…4mos4MO

Yes, for most but not all drugs, and allow pharmacies the right to distribute them but its taxed heavily.

 @BB2L2HQanswered…4mos4MO

I think drugs that can cause harm to others around you should have tougher laws but if it's drugs like weed and anabolic steroids they should be legal

 @BB2FYHBanswered…4mos4MO

Yes, it should be decriminalised and the focus should be on rehabilitation or lighter sentences depending on the level of involvement with drugs. It should also be taxed so the funds go back into the economy.

 @B9Z68PPLiberal Democratanswered…4mos4MO

Not all drugs Drug dealers should be punished more than the drug user. Those serving mandatory minimum sentences should be reassessed. Tougher laws need to be considered when dealing with county lines.

 @B9W45DCanswered…5mos5MO

Yes, but harder drugs should be regulated and users given a safe space to use them where they can also seek help and guidance if they choose to

 @B9V2C77Greenanswered…5mos5MO

Decriminalise drugs that offer medical benefits, make other drugs readily available as part of prevention and rehabilitation programme

 @B9TZKJDanswered…5mos5MO

Yes but increase penalties for supply of drugs that are highly addictive, detrimental to health and have been proven to lead to anti social and criminal behaviour.

 @B9P294Ganswered…5mos5MO

I think dealing of drugs should be illegal but buying and consumption should not because that pushes addicts further into bad situations.

 @B9L6PTYanswered…5mos5MO

Not decriminalising, but allowing facilities for small doses of these drugs like in Scotland, where it is controlled and you are monitored in hopes to reduce addiction

 @B9FBZY6answered…5mos5MO

Yes, and introduce a system of legal regulation to reduce harm caused by production, supply and use as well as tackling the causes of drug addiction (poor mental health, trauma, poverty, homelessness, unemployment and social isolation)

 @B9DZ6RWanswered…5mos5MO

Yes, and introduce a system of legal regulation to reduce harms of supply, production and use as well as tackling the root causes of addiction (poor mental health, poverty, unemployment, trauma, social isolation)

 @B9DKQ95answered…5mos5MO

Yes, and end the war on drugs by creating a system of legal regulation to reduce harms as a result of use, supply and production as well tackling causes of addiction, such as poor mental health, poverty, unemployment, trauma and social isolation.

 @B9DC89Tanswered…5mos5MO

For plain Drug use yes they need help not punishment Yes and treat those believed to be involved in serious criminality and those at the top of these drug chains as threats to National Security and detain and interogate accordingly

 @B9C5ZHQanswered…5mos5MO

It's a simplistic take. Certain drugs might benefit from retaining a criminalised position, but it's by and large the related issues that need to be addressed, those that lead into drugs or trap in that world, so addressing root concerns would be more effective. Addressing the stigma, also. The problem is how to criminalise certain behaviours, such as drug dealing, if the drugs are not illegal. I favour bringing things out of the shadows.

 @B96VFTLGreenfrom Krung Thep  answered…6mos6MO

Increase funding for addiction and rehabilitation. Have you ever had the misfortune of dealing with addicts as I have?

 @9QQ6VY8answered…2yrs2Y

Yes but only for certain drugs that are proven to not be harmful to overall health over time and increase funding on prevention and rehabilitation

 @9QPR6QPanswered…2yrs2Y

I believe all drugs should be legalised so the government controls all trade which would result in a mayor drop of criminal employement.

 @9QPBV5Gfrom Florida  answered…2yrs2Y

Marijuana should be legalised but other drugs such as cocaine, and meth amphetamines should continue to be illegal

 @9QP9MBQanswered…2yrs2Y

Should only be used in monitered centers that substance are pure and controlled doses with nurses on site incase! It can help with substabce abuse and the rising use with young people using

 @9QNCFV7answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, for the majority of drugs. They should be taxed and regulated. I also think funding should be increased for addiction prevention and rehabilitation.

 @9QMZGCPanswered…2yrs2Y

decriminalise drugs that offer medical benefits, and reduce sentences for those serving time for drug related crimes

 @9QMX357Reform UKanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, tax drug sales and use those taxes to fund support and rehab services for those who develop a dependancy.

 @9QMPFMPGreenanswered…2yrs2Y

Recreational drugs should be trialled on their own merits and impacts to society. Blanket legalisation of even most drugs is likely to end badly.

 @9QMBMB7answered…2yrs2Y

Yes, but dealing drugs should be punish harshly and force people that take drugs to get off it in a professional setting.

 @9QM569Vanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes but dependant on the situation. If the drugs are due to medial or mental health issues then yes. But if they’re being used in a way for fun and endangering other lives then yes. Drug dealers need to serve more time.

 @9QM4H66answered…2yrs2Y

Certain recreational drugs should be regulated such as marijuana and legalised but more dangerous substances should be banned

 @9QLZC3BLiberal Democratanswered…2yrs2Y

Yes, for most but not all drugs; and sentences should be retroactively be reduced to alleviate the overcrowding of prisons

 @9QLZBBWanswered…2yrs2Y

Weed could maybe be made legal but definitely 21+ and we should have a tighter hold on other more harmful drugs and easier and free access to drug prevention and rehabilitation

 @9QLCZV4answered…2yrs2Y

Weed should be decriminalised, but all other drugs should be a criminal offence. However, I feel the police have more important things to deal with then drugs. We say we have no spare prisons... So stop giving them such ridiculous sentences, and look at other forms of punishment.

 @9QKP82Ranswered…2yrs2Y

For some not all, improve education on drugs and there dangers and improve help for those with addictions
