Marijuana is the only drug here that has proven to assist with serious medical conditions ... Allow drug use to be used medically or allow drugs such as opioids in medications to continue but only in medications
No , but decriminalise drugs used for medical purposes such as mdma and magic mushrooms for ptsd and trauma related illnesses and marijuana for pain and other medicinal effects.
Yes, for all drugs, and provide funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation, and additionally punish those dealing drugs harsher.
@9Q2J8GW9mos9MO
Yes, but regulate drugs so they cannot be mixed with harmful substance and the tax from the sales can be put back into the economy
@9447ZPZ3yrs3Y
Yes, with a limited number of drugs
If a drug doesn't need to be illegal it should be legal not decriminalised
@8SDKXVH4yrs4Y
Let me smoke weed but not not get addicted to the hard stuff
@8SBS9HSConservative4yrs4Y
No criminality for some drugs but more actively pursue drug dealers and class A drugs
@8RD2K3J4yrs4Y
Give it a go, combined with increased funding for rehabilitation, and see what the effects are. Be ready to reverse course if the effects are negative.
@8R2XZ544yrs4Y
Only done by government sectors in a safe, secure environment and to try and help reduce the amount of drug users.

Yes, but give harsher sentences to dealers.
