Strongly agree

Yes, and legalise, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it

Legalizing, taxing, and regulating marijuana aligns closely with Volt UK's progressive, evidence-based approach to policy-making. This stance supports public health, generates revenue, and reduces criminal justice costs, fitting well with the party's broader goals of modernizing the UK's laws and aligning them with best practices in Europe and other progressive jurisdictions.

Agree

Yes, but only for medical use

Given Volt UK's progressive stance and emphasis on evidence-based policy, they would likely support the legalization of marijuana for medical use as a minimum, recognizing the medical benefits and the need for compassionate healthcare options. This aligns with the party's broader health and social care policies that prioritize well-being and scientific evidence.

Agree

Yes, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses

Volt UK's commitment to progressive policies and justice reform might make them supportive of measures to release individuals serving time for non-violent drug offenses, especially if these measures align with broader goals of criminal justice reform and reducing unnecessary incarceration. However, without explicit statements from the party on this issue, the score reflects an educated guess based on their general policy orientation.

Agree

Yes

Volt UK Party, being a progressive and pro-European political movement, is likely to support policies that modernize and liberalize the UK's approach to social issues, including the legalization of marijuana.

Very strongly disagree

No

Volt UK Party's progressive and liberal values suggest a strong disagreement with the outright prohibition of marijuana. Their European orientation and focus on modern, evidence-based policies would likely make them oppose such a conservative stance on drug policy.

Very strongly disagree

No, and increase penalties for non-violent drug offenders

Increasing penalties for non-violent drug offenders would be contrary to the progressive, reform-oriented approach of Volt UK Party. Their policies generally emphasize rehabilitation over punishment and evidence-based approaches to drug policy, making it highly unlikely they would support such a stance.
