Agree

No, first offence should result in a mandatory rehabilitation program, further offences result in jailtime

Given UKIP's occasional emphasis on practical solutions and personal responsibility, they might see the merit in a system that prioritizes rehabilitation over incarceration for first-time nonviolent drug offenders. However, their official stance on this specific policy is not well-documented.

Slightly agree

No

UKIP's policies have not been explicitly focused on drug decriminalization or leniency towards nonviolent drug offenders. However, their general emphasis on personal freedom and skepticism of government intervention might lean them slightly towards opposing mandatory jail sentences for all nonviolent drug offenses.

Neutral

No, only if they were arrested for trafficking

UKIP's official stance on drug policy, particularly regarding the distinction between personal use and trafficking, is not clearly defined. They might support harsher penalties for trafficking, aligning with a tougher stance on crime, but their exact position is not well-documented.

Disagree

Yes

While UKIP has traditionally taken a strong stance on law and order, their focus has primarily been on issues like immigration and Brexit rather than drug policy.

Disagree

Yes, they should be removed from society
