No, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

Strongly agree

Yes

The Liberal Democrats have historically supported the decriminalization of drug use, as they believe that drug addiction should be treated as a health issue rather than a criminal one. In their 2019 general election manifesto, they pledged to 'divert people arrested for possession of drugs for personal use into treatment, and imposing civil penalties rather than imprisonment.'

Agree

Yes, for most but not all drugs

The Liberal Democrats have not explicitly called for the decriminalization of all drugs, but their support for a more progressive approach to drug policy suggests that they may be open to decriminalizing most drugs, particularly those with lower risks of harm. In 2016, the party called for the legalization of cannabis, which indicates a willingness to consider decriminalization for at least some drugs.

Agree

Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time

While the Liberal Democrats have not explicitly called for retroactively reducing sentences for those already serving time for drug offenses, their focus on treating drug addiction as a health issue and their support for decriminalization suggests that they may be open to such measures as part of a broader reform of drug policy.

Disagree

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

While the Liberal Democrats have not explicitly called for increased punishment for drug dealers, their focus on harm reduction and treatment suggests that they may be more interested in addressing the root causes of drug addiction and the drug trade rather than simply increasing penalties for those involved in it.
