Very strongly agree

Yes, but only for medical use

Agree

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

The Labour party has shown some support for the legalization, taxation, and regulation of marijuana, but it has not been a major policy focus. In 2018, then-leader Jeremy Corbyn expressed support for the decriminalization of cannabis for medicinal use, but the party has not fully committed to recreational legalization and a comprehensive regulatory framework.

Agree

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

While the Labour party has not explicitly called for the immediate release of those serving time solely for drug offenses, their support for the decriminalization of cannabis for medicinal use and a more progressive approach to drug policy suggests that they may be open to this idea.
