Strongly agree

Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time

TUSC's emphasis on policies that aim to rectify injustices and support marginalized communities suggests they would likely support not only decriminalizing drug use but also retroactively reducing sentences for those already serving time, as part of broader criminal justice reform efforts.

Agree

Yes

The Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition (TUSC) is known for its progressive stance on many social issues, advocating for policies that challenge austerity and support working-class people. While there is no specific policy on drug decriminalization from TUSC, their general approach to social justice suggests a possible openness to decriminalizing drug use, especially as a means to combat the criminalization of poverty and social issues.

Agree

No, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

TUSC's platform, which prioritizes public health and social welfare, would likely support increasing funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation as part of a holistic approach to drug policy that focuses on treatment over punishment.

Agree

Yes, for most but not all drugs

While TUSC might support the decriminalization of most drugs as part of a progressive drug policy, their approach would likely be more comprehensive than simply selecting certain drugs for decriminalization, focusing instead on broader reform.

Agree

No, but decriminalise drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as marijuana

While TUSC would likely support the decriminalization of drugs that offer medicinal benefits as part of a broader drug policy reform, their overall approach would probably advocate for more comprehensive measures than solely focusing on medicinal benefits.

Disagree

No

Given TUSC's progressive platform and focus on social justice, it is unlikely they would support maintaining the status quo regarding drug criminalization without any reforms, as this stance typically aligns more with conservative or right-leaning parties.

Strongly disagree

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

Increasing punishment for drug dealers without addressing the underlying social and economic factors that contribute to drug trafficking is contrary to TUSC's approach to social justice and reform.

Very strongly disagree

No, we should pass tougher drug laws

Passing tougher drug laws would be antithetical to TUSC's platform, which generally opposes punitive measures in favor of addressing root causes of social issues, such as inequality and lack of access to services.
