Narrow down the conversation to these participants:
@9RBN6JD5mos5MO
No, but decriminalized drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as marijuana and increase punishment for drug dealers
@9ZTRL634wks4W
Yes, but also increase funding for drug education and require mandatory rehab for cases of severe drug addiction
@9TXSMYR3mos3MO
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
@9TT556C3mos3MO
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.
@9TN8BFW3mos3MO
No but we should pay mroe attention on people who suffer with drug addiction, it will have a positive impact on the economy
@9RF48S45mos5MO
Drugs are good and a good business and the persecution of their usage and sale has been primarily a racist and oppressive one
@9RBYBX65mos5MO
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.
@9RBWNKL5mos5MO
Yes, where it can be reasonably determined that the risk of those drugs is comparable to alcohol and cannabis.
@9RBVCZ2Conservative5mos5MO
Yes we should decriminalize all drugs. But we need 100% rehabilitation support for drug users. Like Amsterdam.
@9RBN9D35mos5MO
Yes, but with tougher laws for in public use, and mandatory rehab/imprisonment for crimes related to drugs and intense addiction.
@9RBGJNJ5mos5MO
Yes, but only if the user is in a drug rehabilitation program that has S.M.A.R.T. milestone progression.
@9QZVT445mos5MO
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.
@9DCWDPP1yr1Y
Yes, but also actively discourage drug use and implement policies to help addicts recover
@9D64G5C1yr1Y
Yes, drug use should be treated as a medical/social issue and not a criminal issue
We should provide funding for more help. More resources to provide SAFE drug use
@9TR533J3mos3MO
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
@8VLQTC53yrs3Y
Yes decriminalizing those with addictions, harsher punishment for drug dealers
@8VQQYRM3yrs3Y
It depends on the type of drug and what it can do to someone
@B25BWZ61wk1W
Drugs should be decriminalized but not to be legally used in public spaces. Tax payers shouldn't pay for drug addiction uses.
@B24GG482wks2W
Increase funding to prevent people from using/selling drugs in the first place, and only legalize medicinal drugs
@B246NWW2wks2W
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
@B245QT42wks2W
Yes for some medicinal drugs, and increase public services to prevent people from doing/selling drugs
@9ZXRBCY3wks3W
yes it should still ber criminal however the government should focus more funds towards rehabilitation
@9ZWJ9ZV4wks4W
I believe decriminalizing drug use is important, but it needs to be in correlation with proper addiction services.
@9ZVJFK94wks4W
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 Democratic4wks4W
no but be leniant depending on what drug depends what drug also increase punishpent for drug dealers.
@9ZQKVCF1mo1MO
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.
@9ZKDT821mo1MO
I think drugs should be decriminalized but anyone caught should be helped and go to rehab/get help getting their life back on track
@9YXKBJF2mos2MO
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.
@9YHDGTM2mos2MO
Yes, for those who use as a result of a substance use disorder. Also increase punishment for drug traffickers.
@9XCDMH42mos2MO
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.
@9X3Z4PFConservative2mos2MO
Drug users that cannot contribute to society should be put into institutions where they are forcibly rehabilitated
@9WK345SConservative2mos2MO
yes we can, but those people must know how to control themselves and someone must be monitoring their consumption.
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???
Yes, decriminalize use and increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation but criminalize selling of drugs
@9W6MXFY2mos2MO
My dad's a chainsmoker so yes but it is also difficult seeing someone slowly end their life through abusing addictive substances
@9W3RBTP2mos2MO
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.
@9W2HP5V2mos2MO
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 Democratic2mos2MO
yes, but only in combination with the creation of more safe injection/inhalation sites, and treatment centres
@9VWGX7BNew Democratic2mos2MO
yes, only decriminalizing small amounts of drugs so cops can focus on begger issues like big time dealers and other larger crimes
@9VT7T2S3mos3MO
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.
@9VSVZ2X3mos3MO
The only drug im okay with is marijuana that is the only beneficial drug out there that people enjoy and use for medical reasons
@9VKQQKV3mos3MO
No, but allow funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation and pass more strict laws on the use of selling or possessing of illegal drugs.
@9VJCCN43mos3MO
Yes, but we need to do more towards the mental health side of drug abuse and include involuntary treatment.
@9V5DVQY3mos3MO
Drug use shouldn't be punished they should be treated, these are people with addictions, not criminals.
@8VL9XF93yrs3Y
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)
@8VGQMML3yrs3Y
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.
@8VGD9GS3yrs3Y
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 Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes AND increase funding to mental health/rehabilitation
@8V5XQNN3yrs3Y
Yes, but needs to be done in tandem with increases in funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation
@8TY2YD23yrs3Y
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
@9TLF4ZN3mos3MO
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
@9TDR5VP3mos3MO
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.
@9T98NNNConservative4mos4MO
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.
@9Q6NY5X6mos6MO
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.
@9Q7WSXR6mos6MO
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.
@9Q44DH56mos6MO
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.
@9LY3CVF8mos8MO
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
@9LVJRQC8mos8MO
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.
@9LV366XConservative8mos8MO
Involuntary confinement via a medical tribunal for those who cannot care for themselves and are a risk to others.
@9LS9CFC8mos8MO
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
@9LMTRSM8mos8MO
Yes, but those who are found using drugs are forced to receive rehabilitation or otherwise go to prison.
@9LKHKCG8mos8MO
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
@9LJ3BS39mos9MO
Drug use should have minor concequences but all drugs (excluding for medical purposes) should be banned.
@9L3C4449mos9MO
Yes, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehab, while also adding more Safe Drug Injection Sites, making them more readily available.
@9L2WQFC9mos9MO
Yes, for non-hard drugs but anyone caught in possession with these drugs should be enrolled in mandatory rehabilitation programs.
@9KTPWQR10mos10MO
Yes, but those caught in possession of hard drugs should be sent to mandatory rehabilitation centres. Also, increase punishment for drug dealers.
@9KMFJ9910mos10MO
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.
@9K6M45410mos10MO
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.
@9JX9YVT10mos10MO
yes but only if it is prescripted by a doctor or you have an addiction and you have proven you will try to quit.
@9JX8X5410mos10MO
Increase punishment for dealers, and instead of punishing users divest that money into programs that offer recovery.
@9JWHCZH11mos11MO
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.
@9JVS56S11mos11MO
Decriminalize it so there are safer spaces for people who decide to take drugs. But make distribution of extremely dangerous drugs like fentanyl illegal.
@9JSPMXF11mos11MO
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
@9JQ8T5J11mos11MO
Yes, but decriminalize possession of drugs for personal usage, & use the money saved to go after the suppliers & traffickers.
@9JNZBVR11mos11MO
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 .
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.
@9J5H48T11mos11MO
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
@9J4JGWRConservative11mos11MO
Yes, but teach responsible use, side effects, and level / chance of addiction. Also increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation.
@9J4DCFL11mos11MO
No we should build more rehab centres instead of giving people free drugs and making it easier to get clean
@9J2HTD712mos12MO
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 Democratic12mos12MO
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
@9HVQQ4J12mos12MO
Make a red light district and regulate it less health care visits and death will take the bad cons out
@9HV5QFW12mos12MO
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.
@9HLHYFV1yr1Y
some but not all drugs and there should be drug awarness programs and such in schools and other places
Yes, but ensure there is proper rehabilitation centres and encourage people to visit them if they are addicted.
Yes because the people buying the drugs shouldn't be punished the people dealing them should be punished
@9HC9TBT1yr1Y
No, but decriminalize drugs that offer medicinal benefits. However, they are to be kept in safe hands so as to not be abused
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.
@9H5KYJZ1yr1Y
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 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.
@9GZFFHR1yr1Y
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.
@9GYXNRY1yr1Y
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
@9GQSTJ41yr1Y
no, i dont think we should decrriminalizating drug use but allow people who need it bad for there health
Yes, drugs must be prohibited because of its harmful consequences. Drugs Only using for medical purpose
@9GNXXXT1yr1Y
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.
@9GNM9GS1yr1Y
I am but there needs to be stricter and safer rules on where they can be used and how people can get it.
@9GMVZJG1yr1Y
No, but if it provides medical benefit and for research purposes, it should be allowed only to the professionals not the public.
@9GMSV2F1yr1Y
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.
@9GK5S331yr1Y
Yes, but profits from the purchase of drugs should be directed entirely toward addiction prevention and rehabilitation
