yes, but only for drugs such as weed. Alcohol is a drug that does more harm that weed and it is legal.
Decriminalise hard drug use, offer drug rehabilitation, and reduce punishment for information that leads to dealers convictions.
@9PJP5G89mos9MO
I think weed should be legalised but cocaine, heroine, alcohol etc shouldn’t be but needs more funding to help people stop
@9HH4XBY1yr1Y
weed should be legalised, sentences should be reduced and addiction prevention and rehibilitation should be focused on and funded more.
@9FJTRQQ2yrs2Y
Yes, but regulate production, impose penalties for criminal misuse and provide facilities for the safe administration of more dangerous substances.
@9PPDC2N9mos9MO
No, decrimalise drugs that offer medical benefits but also increase punishment for class A dealers and increase funding for addiction prevention and rehab.

Yes but only for weed (which has a medicinal purpose)
@8PYFSD44yrs4Y
I support the decriminalisation of all cannabis and CBD products specifically, but sellers be required to have a license to sell them which can be confiscated if abused (e.g. selling to under-18s).

No, but only dealers should go to prison
