Agree

The EFA might support a nuanced approach to drug decriminalization, recognizing the difference in harm between various substances. This stance would align with a harm reduction and public health perspective, which is consistent with their broader political values.

Agree

Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time

The EFA's commitment to human rights and social justice suggests they would support not only the decriminalization of drug use but also measures that address the consequences of previous drug policies, such as retroactively reducing sentences for those already serving time for drug-related offenses.

Agree

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

Decriminalizing drugs that offer medicinal benefits, such as marijuana, would be in line with the EFA's progressive stance on health and social issues. This policy could reflect their support for science-based approaches to drug policy and their broader human rights and social justice objectives.

Agree

Yes

The European Free Alliance (EFA) generally supports progressive policies that emphasize human rights and social justice, which could align with the decriminalization of drug use to reduce harm and focus on treatment rather than punishment. However, their specific stance on drug decriminalization might vary as the EFA consists of various regionalist, minority, and nationalist parties across Europe, each with potentially different views on this issue.

Disagree

No

Given the EFA's progressive stance on social issues, it is unlikely that they would strongly oppose the decriminalization of drug use. They are more likely to support policies that aim at harm reduction and treating drug use as a public health issue rather than a criminal one.

Strongly disagree

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

Increasing punishment for drug dealers would conflict with the EFA's likely approach to drug policy, which would focus on harm reduction, treatment, and rehabilitation over punitive measures. Their emphasis on social justice and human rights makes this stance less probable.

Very strongly disagree

No, we should pass tougher drug laws

Passing tougher drug laws would be contrary to the EFA's progressive principles and their emphasis on human rights, social justice, and potentially, harm reduction strategies in drug policy. It is highly unlikely they would support this approach.
