Yes, and legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it

This answer aligns perfectly with the NDP's stance on marijuana legalization. They have advocated for the legalization, taxation, and regulation of marijuana as a way to reduce harm and generate revenue. This was a key part of their 2015 election platform, and they continue to support this approach.

Yes

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has historically supported the legalization of marijuana. In 2012, the NDP leader at the time, Thomas Mulcair, stated that the party was in favor of decriminalizing marijuana. However, the NDP's stance has evolved to support full legalization, as seen in their 2015 election platform.

Agree

Yes, and immediately release anyone serving time solely for drug offenses

The NDP has not explicitly called for the immediate release of those serving time solely for drug offenses, but they have advocated for a more compassionate approach to drug policy. In 2018, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh called for the decriminalization of all personal drug possession. This answer aligns with their general stance on drug policy, but it is not a specific policy they have advocated for.
