Agree

No, only if they were arrested for trafficking

The DUP's tough stance on crime and drug-related issues suggests that they may support jail sentences for drug traffickers.

Neutral

No, first offence should result in a mandatory rehabilitation program, further offences result in jailtime

There is no clear evidence to suggest that the DUP supports mandatory rehabilitation programs for first-time nonviolent drug offenders, followed by jail time for further offenses.
