No, but decriminalized drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as marijuana and increase punishment for drug dealers

 @9ZTRL63from British Columbia  answered…4wks4W

Yes, but also increase funding for drug education and require mandatory rehab for cases of severe drug addiction

 @9TXSMYRfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

yes it should be allowed if prescribed medically like marijuana and people serving time for it or has it on there record should have that removed

 @9TT556Cfrom Saskatchewan  answered…3mos3MO

I want the illegal use of drugs to be stopped and have harsher punishments for drug dealers but also allow the pharmacy's to use drugs to help people with addictions.

 @9TN8BFWfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

No but we should pay mroe attention on people who suffer with drug addiction, it will have a positive impact on the economy

 @9RF48S4from Massachusetts  answered…5mos5MO

Drugs are good and a good business and the persecution of their usage and sale has been primarily a racist and oppressive one

 @9RBYBX6from Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but in a sense that can benefit us in a medical view. For example, microdosing psilocybin has been said to assist with a deal of depression, anxiety, migraines and other negative effects on the human body.

If used and controlled for medical purposes, I am for it.

 @9RBWNKLfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, where it can be reasonably determined that the risk of those drugs is comparable to alcohol and cannabis.

 @9RBVCZ2Conservativefrom Prince Edward Island  answered…5mos5MO

Yes we should decriminalize all drugs. But we need 100% rehabilitation support for drug users. Like Amsterdam.

 @9RBN9D3answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but with tougher laws for in public use, and mandatory rehab/imprisonment for crimes related to drugs and intense addiction.

 @9RBGJNJfrom British Columbia  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but only if the user is in a drug rehabilitation program that has S.M.A.R.T. milestone progression.

 @9QZVT44from Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

Some drugs, yes. Perhaps even manage them like they do in weed shops..so people know what they’re consuming. And also make the penalty for selling certain high risk/laced/“dirty” drugs extremely tough. People caught with those drugs should be given the option of jail time or rehabilitation programs.

 @9DCWDPPfrom Seoul-t'ukpyolsi  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but also actively discourage drug use and implement policies to help addicts recover

 @9D64G5Cfrom Quebec  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, drug use should be treated as a medical/social issue and not a criminal issue

 @9D4GF2CNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

We should provide funding for more help. More resources to provide SAFE drug use

 @9TR533Janswered…3mos3MO

Drug use shouldn’t be criminalised, but being under the influence in public should be illegal, and crimes committed under drug influence should be more severely punished

 @8VLQTC5from Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes decriminalizing those with addictions, harsher punishment for drug dealers

 @8VQQYRMfrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

 @B25BWZ6from British Columbia  answered…1wk1W

Drugs should be decriminalized but not to be legally used in public spaces. Tax payers shouldn't pay for drug addiction uses.

 @B24GG48from Ontario  answered…2wks2W

Increase funding to prevent people from using/selling drugs in the first place, and only legalize medicinal drugs

 @B246NWWfrom Ontario  answered…2wks2W

Yes to keep everyone safer and able to call 911 if an overdose occurs but don't get rid of all consequence and put more money into rehabilitation

 @B245QT4from Ontario  answered…2wks2W

Yes for some medicinal drugs, and increase public services to prevent people from doing/selling drugs

 @9ZXRBCYfrom British Columbia  answered…3wks3W

yes it should still ber criminal however the government should focus more funds towards rehabilitation

 @9ZWJ9ZVfrom Nova Scotia  answered…4wks4W

I believe decriminalizing drug use is important, but it needs to be in correlation with proper addiction services.

 @9ZVJFK9from Ontario  answered…4wks4W

Decriminalizing all drug use would be harmful. We should look into a safe way to decriminalize some drugs in order to reduce illegal dealing.

 @9ZT7QLRNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4wks4W

no but be leniant depending on what drug depends what drug also increase punishpent for drug dealers.

 @9ZQKVCFfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

No, but reduce the penalty for drug use to a notable extent, and increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation. I do think that some drugs could be decriminalized, but not all of them.

 @9ZKDT82from Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

I think drugs should be decriminalized but anyone caught should be helped and go to rehab/get help getting their life back on track

 @9YXKBJFfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, excess use money from police and jailing for drug education and for therapy. Drug users will get drugs regardless. So help them with the problem.

 @9YHDGTMfrom Alberta  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, for those who use as a result of a substance use disorder. Also increase punishment for drug traffickers.

 @9XCDMH4from Alberta  answered…2mos2MO

I personally believe that people who have an addiction to illegal drugs shouldn't go to jail but instead be given help to overcome said addiction.

 @9X3Z4PFConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Drug users that cannot contribute to society should be put into institutions where they are forcibly rehabilitated

 @9WK345SConservativeanswered…2mos2MO

yes we can, but those people must know how to control themselves and someone must be monitoring their consumption.

 @9WBDHC5Greenfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

yes to all but government need to provide more social worker and health professionals and meet with all users like they do in Portugal. Letting anyone uses drugs with no support is not the way to go... right? the liberals???

 @9W9ZRG7Greenfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, decriminalize use and increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation but criminalize selling of drugs

 @9W6MXFYfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

My dad's a chainsmoker so yes but it is also difficult seeing someone slowly end their life through abusing addictive substances

 @9W3RBTPfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes. I also think there should be voluntary treatment facilities with nurse practitioners where addicts can check in and have as much access to their drug of choice (draw them in) in a safe and secure environment at no cost (reduce crime and harm). I think the facility should have beds, showers, and bathrooms, and nutritious meals, but their commitment is to meet with a psychotherapists on staff to help them work through their trauma and provide recovery assistance in a safe environment where they are treated with dignity.

 @9W2HP5Vfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

If we are to decriminalize drug use we must deepen our Mental Health outreach equally ... starting in elementary schools ... we need to control the flow.

 @9VY58CQNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

yes, but only in combination with the creation of more safe injection/inhalation sites, and treatment centres

 @9VWGX7BNew Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

yes, only decriminalizing small amounts of drugs so cops can focus on begger issues like big time dealers and other larger crimes

 @9VT7T2Sfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, if we take the same approach as other countries who have done the same and make it only decriminalized if they’re attending a rehabilitation facility of some sort as well.

 @9VSVZ2Xfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

The only drug im okay with is marijuana that is the only beneficial drug out there that people enjoy and use for medical reasons

 @9VKQQKVfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

No, but allow funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation and pass more strict laws on the use of selling or possessing of illegal drugs.

 @9VJCCN4from British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, but we need to do more towards the mental health side of drug abuse and include involuntary treatment.

 @9V5DVQYfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Drug use shouldn't be punished they should be treated, these are people with addictions, not criminals.

 @8VL9XF9from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

No, but allow law enforcement/military to go after those responsible for the root causes of the drug issue(high level dealers, foreign manufacturers, & politically connected interests that profit from it like the medical industry)

 @8VGQMMLfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Allow any and all drug use; but, any person found to have any drug in their system equals no public help whatsoever. Let them live or die by their choice and it should not cost the public a single dime.

 @8VGD9GSfrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

I think we should decriminalize magic mushrooms. it has a numerous amount of benefits for the mind and body, and is even said to expand creativity and cure anxiety and depression.

 @8VCVB74New Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8V5XQNNfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but needs to be done in tandem with increases in funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

 @8TY2YD2from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Most but not all drugs because we should pass tougher law and increase punishment for drug dealers and retroactively reduce sentences for drug related crimes and increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

 @9TLF4ZNfrom New Brunswick  answered…3mos3MO

Some drugs that are used in medicine should be legalized in acceptable doses like how the most amount of weed you can have on your person is an ounce. You can use people IDs to scan them so they can only get a certain dose weekly/daily

 @9TDR5VPfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

A drug or narcotic that is going to make you hallucinate or act out of the ordinary should not be illegal. Marijuana will not make you hallucinate and think you can fly or jump off a building. Mushrooms will.

 @9T98NNNConservativefrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

I think that it is important to decriminalize drugs that offer health benefits such as marijuana. But It is important to increase punishment for drug dealers, there should be funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation.

 @9Q6NY5Xfrom Alberta  answered…6mos6MO

No, but decriminalize drugs that offer medicinal benefits, but increase the price of those drugs, so they're harder to reach so people won't resort to that and become addicted.

 @9Q7WSXRanswered…6mos6MO

Legalize recreational drugs and regulate the production and sale of recreational drugs. Decriminalize hard drug use but ban the production and sale of hard drugs. Crack down on illegal drug dealers.

 @9Q44DH5from Ontario  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, but not for all drugs. There should be a screening to decide which drugs can be offered recreationally, and which ones are too dangerous. There should also be proper addiction support and rehabilitation programs in place. And tight regulation on maintaining, producing, and distributing these drugs, which are run by the government.

 @9LY3CVFfrom Alberta  answered…8mos8MO

Some more drugs, but not all, I seen places where people are allowed all drugs and the city was trash, but I feel like some more drugs should be legal

 @9LVJRQCfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

id say that they should take away the drugs people are using to get away from the world but like marjawana isn't as bad as people say.

 @9LV366XConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…8mos8MO

Involuntary confinement via a medical tribunal for those who cannot care for themselves and are a risk to others.

 @9LS9CFCfrom Alberta  answered…8mos8MO

People should not be able to buy hard drugs for recreational use. Instead the people who are buying illegally should have less punishment and be rehabilitated to a place where they can work through the addiction. Because addiction is a disease and takes over you. Narcan kits should also be provided more often than not to prevent those who are overdosing from a overdose

 @9LMTRSMfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

Yes, but those who are found using drugs are forced to receive rehabilitation or otherwise go to prison.

 @9LKHKCGfrom Ontario  answered…8mos8MO

Neutral, certain drugs should not be of use and proper education on drugs so a person can decide for themselves if they want to take marijuana as long as it does not hurt themselves or others

 @9LJ3BS3from Nova Scotia  answered…9mos9MO

Drug use should have minor concequences but all drugs (excluding for medical purposes) should be banned.

 @9L3C444from Nova Scotia  answered…9mos9MO

Yes, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehab, while also adding more Safe Drug Injection Sites, making them more readily available.

 @9L2WQFCfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

Yes, for non-hard drugs but anyone caught in possession with these drugs should be enrolled in mandatory rehabilitation programs.

 @9KTPWQRfrom Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

Yes, but those caught in possession of hard drugs should be sent to mandatory rehabilitation centres. Also, increase punishment for drug dealers.

 @9KMFJ99from Alberta  answered…10mos10MO

Decriminalising drugs and not drug use as we should prosecute the drug dealers and the drug itself not the people using and they shouldn’t be imprisoned for drug use.

 @9K6M454from Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

No, but it's common knowledge that some drugs help if you're smart enough to use them right for recreational needs or by the package.

 @9JX9YVTfrom Alberta  answered…10mos10MO

yes but only if it is prescripted by a doctor or you have an addiction and you have proven you will try to quit.

 @9JX8X54from Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

Increase punishment for dealers, and instead of punishing users divest that money into programs that offer recovery.

 @9JWHCZHfrom British Columbia  answered…11mos11MO

Yes, so there can be safer places for people to get drugs which may decrease the chance of overdose. But also not drugs that are incredibly dangerous (eg. fentanyl) More drug education.

 @9JVS56Sfrom British Columbia  answered…11mos11MO

Decriminalize it so there are safer spaces for people who decide to take drugs. But make distribution of extremely dangerous drugs like fentanyl illegal.

 @9JSPMXFanswered…11mos11MO

Yes, for the ones least harmful to a person, but pass harsher laws on drug dealers forcing people to get them from licensed government businesses

 @9JQ8T5Jfrom Alberta  answered…11mos11MO

Yes, but decriminalize possession of drugs for personal usage, & use the money saved to go after the suppliers & traffickers.

 @9JNZBVRfrom Alberta  answered…11mos11MO

I belive some drugs should be legalized because they can be used for medical use or for stress use (aka weed,shrooms) leagizing these drugs woukld help lower crime rate .

 @9J7NCPPLiberalfrom British Columbia  answered…11mos11MO

I think instead of arresting people who are struggling with drug use, we should arrest the dealer and get the person who is using drugs help.

 @9J5H48Tfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

Rehabilitation and addiction prevention services should be allocated more funding while simultaneously decreasing harsh penalties for drug crimes. And drugs that offer medicinal benefits should be made available more easily once they have been thoroughly tested for those who can prove they need them

 @9J4JGWRConservativefrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

Yes, but teach responsible use, side effects, and level / chance of addiction. Also increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation.

 @9J4DCFLfrom Nova Scotia  answered…11mos11MO

No we should build more rehab centres instead of giving people free drugs and making it easier to get clean

 @9J2HTD7from Alberta  answered…12mos12MO

Excluding Marijuana as it is legal. Drugs should not be decriminalized, and harsher punishments for drug users and dealers should be put into place up to and including life in prison or the death penalty for severe repeat offenders.

 @9HXHR3YNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…12mos12MO

No, I strongly disagree with the legalisation of addictive drugs, I have seen many teens of around my age have their lives completely ruined because of drugs, either because their parents are addicts and do not care about them or that they get addicted and destory themselves from the inside out

 @9HVQQ4Janswered…12mos12MO

Make a red light district and regulate it less health care visits and death will take the bad cons out

 @9HV5QFWfrom British Columbia  answered…12mos12MO

No, we should build facilities for forced treatment of drug addicts, especially for fentanyl, heroin, and methamphetamine addicts. We should also bring back the death penalty and execute convicted drug dealers like they do in Thailand, China, and Singapore.

 @9HLHYFVfrom Nova Scotia  answered…1yr1Y

some but not all drugs and there should be drug awarness programs and such in schools and other places

 @9HL3JHGLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but ensure there is proper rehabilitation centres and encourage people to visit them if they are addicted.

 @9HFBY8PNew Democraticfrom Nova Scotia  answered…1yr1Y

Yes because the people buying the drugs shouldn't be punished the people dealing them should be punished

 @9HC9TBTfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

No, but decriminalize drugs that offer medicinal benefits. However, they are to be kept in safe hands so as to not be abused

 @9HB4547People’sfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Drugs can be used for a various type of reasons but that does not mean I am not against them, it is true that drugs can mess you up pretty badly and I guess I cannot say that there is no "good drug" but if we were to talk about marijuana for say, that specific drug can be used for both good and many bad. The only reason why the drug was legalized is because it could be used medically but unfortunately the drug has been used for worst reasons. If we were to talk about other drugs like life threatening ones (only if taken as an overdose) such as: Fentanyl or Heroin, specific drugs like them should be only be permitted to the EMS or any other (professional) medical services.

 @9H5KYJZfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

only for drugs that dont impose a high addiction risk or really bad health risks, recianial weed for example i find okay but something like in Vancouver i find is not a good idea and eventually leads to more problems

 @9GZGLCV from Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

People are going to use drugs either way instead we should have places where they can do it and be monitored and not using the same needles to prevent contamination and speadring of viruses.

 @9GZFFHRfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

People are going to do drugs either way but offer medical suport to those who are trying to get sober or live a better life, like rehabilitation centers.

 @9GYXNRYfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Make drugs illegal, but slowly make more and more legal with the proper services for those that want to use and get off of drugs

 @9GQSTJ4from Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

no, i dont think we should decrriminalizating drug use but allow people who need it bad for there health

 @9GPWK8ZNew Democraticanswered…1yr1Y

Yes, drugs must be prohibited because of its harmful consequences. Drugs Only using for medical purpose

 @9GNXXXTfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

It can do good, but there has to be the infrastructure there to make sure that it's a success, such as treatment and transitional housing, but also safe injection sites and ways to deal with repeat offenders.

 @9GNM9GSfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

I am but there needs to be stricter and safer rules on where they can be used and how people can get it.

 @9GMVZJGfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

No, but if it provides medical benefit and for research purposes, it should be allowed only to the professionals not the public.

 @9GMSV2Ffrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

Instead of criminalising drugs we should invest in addiction treatment centres to help reduce addiction rates, and then we can take steps taken by New Zealand and UK to erradicate the production of recreational drugs except for medicinal drugs or prevent people born in a certain year onwards from buying drugs.

 @9GK5S33from Manitoba  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but profits from the purchase of drugs should be directed entirely toward addiction prevention and rehabilitation
