not all drugs but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation and decriminalise drugs with medical benefits such as marijuana and decriminalisation for it recreationally and reduce sentences for those already serving time

 @9NLLGK4answered…8mos8MO

yes, only for clinically controlled, commercially safe drugs, and only for relatively safe ages 25+ years of age to prevent brain deterioration.

 @B2GVP7Sanswered…2wks2W

Yes, for small personal use matters I think this should be treated as a health concern for the person rather than criminally convicting and revert them to health services as an alternative

 @B2FVQX8answered…2wks2W

I think decriminalising less harmful drugs first and adopting some of the schemes from other countries that have legalised them

 @9ZWDBC5answered…2mos2MO

Under strict licence and in controlled circumstances to take power and money away from criminal gangs and to provide support services and education for users and potential users

 @9ZW7DHSanswered…2mos2MO

yes but provide the public with clinics where these individuals can go to safely use these drugs and be in a controlled environment. this protects both the individual and the public

 @9ZVS9TWanswered…2mos2MO

Decriminalise and tax drugs to create more public funding and should also help addicts get more help if it’s legal

 @9ZVQ4FQanswered…2mos2MO

Just drugs like Marijuana I won't bring my daily sides to take this song on tour of the fact that there's an intelligent way. I find another publishing.

 @9ZVJ9VKanswered…2mos2MO

Yes we need to be able to study the benefits of certain drugs such as psilocybin. Ban alcohol if anything no benefits to it. As well to regulate use as drug use will occur anyway best to make it safer

 @9ZVDPHYanswered…2mos2MO

Recreational drugs should be permitted in safe Invironments to help people addicted, if the law is changed anyone who is locked up for drugs should have their sentences looked at.

 @9ZVBZWV answered…2mos2MO

Yes, by legalising its use, it makes it easier to regulate its distribution and usage, and cuts the black market down substantially

 @9ZTP726answered…2mos2MO

Yes decriminalisation has been shown to improve statistics. Ireland currently has one of the highest rates of drug use in Europe. Portugals numbers have fallen immensely since decriminalisation, decriminalisation encourages and makes users more likely to seek help without fear or shame.

 @9ZTGFFZanswered…2mos2MO

Yes and provide more services in relation to education and safe use of substances to reduce harm caused by in communities

 @9ZT96BY answered…2mos2MO

Decriminalise most illegal drugs with the exception of heroine. Use this money gained from marijuana consumption (taxes for import of drug and sale) to pay for better rehabilitation and drug aftercare

 @9ZT2433People Before Profitanswered…2mos2MO

Drug users should be helped in a safe respectful manner. Drug dealers should be targeted. More funding towards rehab and continuous support systems for drug users. Decriminalise drugs for medicinal benefits such as marijuana.

 @9ZSYJ9Xanswered…2mos2MO

For health treatment only and to allow ecperimental drug trials to gain ground with vetter quality research.

 @9ZSR9Z3answered…2mos2MO

I believe it should be decriminalised but also that more rehab centres should be available and that it should be more accessible, though i think that very dangerous drugs such as opioids should be criminalised outside of medicinal use.

 @9ZSLCK9answered…2mos2MO

Yes but of ones that have little to no harm done also need help centers tp help people get over the addiction. Putting people in prison for having an unhealthy copping mechanism isn't going to help anyone

 @9ZRNLMVanswered…2mos2MO

I think drug use for most drugs shouldn't be a criminal offence but drug dealing should be and have a much tougher sentence. also need more funding for addiction and rehabilitation facilities

 @9ZRNL4Yanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, for medical access upon prescription only. Recreational use should not be legalised, but prosecution should only be used on those who traffic/grow/sell drugs illegally.

 @9ZQPM92answered…2mos2MO

Decriminalise drug possesion, but should not be supplied in retail and more funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

 @9ZQ8L3Manswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but do not give drug addicts prescriptions for drugs and stop paying them the dole from social welfare. If they decide to take, let them earn for it. Stop treating both drug and alcohol addicts as sick people requiring treatment in public health system.

 @9ZPMTJCanswered…2mos2MO

Yes, but in controlled uses such as prescription from a Dr for pain relief or mental health reasons, and for scientific research and clinical trials.

 @9ZK4LXCanswered…3mos3MO

I am in favour of decriminalising drug use, but significantly increasing punishment for drug dealers

 @9ZJ4ZLBGreenanswered…3mos3MO

Decriminalise some drugs such as marijuana but not the majority, offer increased rehabilitation and prevention services

Decriminalise marijuana, tax it, and put the proceeds towards addiction prevention and rehabilitation.

 @9ZBWJ28Sinn Féinanswered…3mos3MO

 @9ZBBM7Xanswered…3mos3MO

I am for decriminalizing drug use and criminalizing the sale of drugs. Increasing support for drug users.

 @9ZB95CFanswered…3mos3MO

Some drugs such as marijuana should be decriminalised. However other drugs such as opioids or drugs such as meth or heroin should be illegal. Drug use should receive reduced sentencing while drug dealing should receive increased sentencing. there should also be more resources for drugs users and families that have been destroyed because of drug use

 @9Z9QNP9Sinn Féinanswered…3mos3MO

Yes but invest in proper rehabilitation and medical care to appropriately care for people that abuse drugs

Yes but provide harsher sentences and laws for trafficers and dealer and stop treating addiction as a crime and start treating it as a mental health problem/disease

 @9YMTBWCanswered…3mos3MO

I believe that the likes of marijuana should be legalised but the more hardcore drugs such as cocaine, ecstasy should stay illegal

Yes, decriminalising drugs reduces the stigma around addiction, and increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

For lower class drugs people are using anyway such as marijuana so makes sense for the government to tax and use that tax to build support services for dual diagnosis clinics , mental health and drug addiction are treated separately in ireland but they are so closely linked.

 @9ZF4JT3answered…3mos3MO

Yes, not all drugs but only ones that are beneficial for medical reasons or mental health treatments and should only be used majority for treatment apart from marujana which should be controlled and sold in legal establishments, educational programmes should also be put into primary and secondary education courses as to provide the correct information for how drugs should be used

decrinimalise the likes of marijuana, reduce/release those already serving time (depending on the crime), and decrimialise it followed by class A abuse, meanwhile decriminalise class A amongst those in treatment.
