Strongly agree

No

Given UKIP's conservative stance on law and order, including their approach to drug policy, they would likely agree with opposing the creation of drug 'safe havens'. They may argue that such facilities could undermine efforts to combat drug use and addiction.

Agree

No, this would encourage drug use and lower funding for rehabilitation centers

Disagree

Yes, this is necessary to reduce the drug overdose death rate

While UKIP might recognize the importance of addressing the drug overdose death rate, their approach would likely favor more traditional law enforcement and rehabilitation methods over the establishment of supervised drug use sites.

Strongly disagree

Yes

UKIP has traditionally positioned itself against policies that could be perceived as enabling or normalizing illegal drug use. Their focus has often been on law and order, and they are likely to view drug 'safe havens' as contrary to these principles.

Strongly disagree

Yes, drug abuse should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue

UKIP's policies and rhetoric have generally not supported the idea of treating drug abuse primarily as a health issue over a criminal one. Their emphasis on law and order suggests they would disagree with this approach.

Very strongly disagree

No, but legalize drugs

Legalizing drugs would be in stark contrast to UKIP's conservative, law-and-order platform. They have not supported policies that would legalize drugs, viewing such measures as harmful to society and contrary to their stance on crime and drug use.
