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

The Liberal Democrats have called for an end to imprisonment for possession of illegal drugs for personal use, including marijuana. While they may not explicitly call for the immediate release of those serving time solely for drug offenses, their policy positions suggest they would be sympathetic to this idea.

Very strongly disagree

No, and increase penalties for non-violent drug offenders

The Liberal Democrats would strongly disagree with this statement, as they have consistently called for a more progressive approach to drug policy. They believe that increasing penalties for non-violent drug offenders would be counterproductive and would not address the root causes of drug addiction and related issues.
