Very strongly disagree

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

Stevenson, like most politicians of his time, would likely have opposed the idea of releasing individuals serving time for drug offenses. The War on Drugs, which led to increased penalties for drug offenses, began in the decades following Stevenson's political career, reflecting the prevailing attitudes of the time.

Very strongly disagree

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

The idea of legalizing, taxing, and regulating marijuana instead of criminalizing it would have been a radical stance in the 1950s, and there is no evidence to suggest that Stevenson would have supported such a policy. His political positions were generally more traditional and in line with the mainstream views of his time.
