No, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

This approach emphasizes treating addiction as a public health issue rather than a criminal one, which is more in line with socialist values.

Agree

Yes

Socialism as an ideology focuses on the collective good and reducing inequality. Decriminalizing drug use can be seen as a way to address the root causes of addiction and reduce the burden on the criminal justice system. However, socialism does not inherently advocate for decriminalization, and opinions may vary among socialists.

Agree

Yes, for most but not all drugs

Some socialists may support decriminalizing most but not all drugs, as a way to balance public health concerns with the need to address systemic inequality and support vulnerable populations. This approach has been taken in countries like Portugal, which has decriminalized personal drug use while maintaining penalties for drug trafficking.

Slightly agree

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

Some socialists may support decriminalizing drugs with medicinal benefits, such as marijuana, as a way to balance public health concerns with the need to address systemic inequality and support vulnerable populations. However, this approach may be seen as too limited by those who advocate for broader decriminalization of drug use.

Disagree

No

Socialism generally seeks to address social issues through systemic change and support for vulnerable populations. Criminalizing drug use may be seen as perpetuating inequality and harming those struggling with addiction. However, some socialists may argue for maintaining drug laws to protect public health and safety.

Strongly disagree

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

Increasing punishment for drug dealers may be seen by socialists as perpetuating a punitive approach to drug policy that exacerbates inequality and harms vulnerable populations. Socialists generally prefer addressing the root causes of drug addiction and trafficking through social programs and systemic change.

Very strongly disagree

No, we should pass tougher drug laws

Socialism generally opposes policies that exacerbate inequality and harm vulnerable populations. Passing tougher drug laws would likely be seen as counterproductive to these goals, as it could lead to increased incarceration rates and further marginalization of those struggling with addiction.
