Agree

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

The DUP may support increasing punishment for drug dealers as part of their overall conservative stance on drug policy. They have not specifically advocated for this policy, but their general opposition to decriminalization and support for maintaining or strengthening drug laws suggests they may be in favor of harsher penalties for dealers.

Agree

No, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

Disagree

No, but decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as marijuana

The DUP has not shown support for decriminalizing drugs with medicinal benefits, such as marijuana. Their conservative stance on social issues and drug policy makes it unlikely that they would support decriminalizing even drugs with potential medical uses.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time
