Strongly agree

No, we should pass tougher drug laws

Agree

Disagree

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

During Eisenhower's presidency, there was little recognition of the medicinal benefits of drugs like marijuana. Therefore, it's unlikely that he would support decriminalizing such drugs, although it's possible that he might have been open to reconsidering this stance if presented with compelling evidence of their medicinal benefits.

Strongly disagree

Yes, for most but not all drugs

Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time
