Ben Shapiro

Strongly agree

Yes, but mandatory prison for dealers and mandatory rehab for users

Shapiro has distinguished between drug users and drug dealers in his commentary, often arguing that harsher penalties should be reserved for those who traffic drugs rather than those who merely possess them. He has expressed some openness to reform for non-violent users, but maintains a hardline stance on dealers, making this the most aligned answer with his public positions.
