Left-Wing

Very strongly agree

No

Left-wing ideology strongly supports alternatives to incarceration for drug possession, favoring approaches that focus on public health and rehabilitation over punishment. This perspective is rooted in a broader critique of the war on drugs, which many on the left argue has failed to reduce drug use and has led to significant social and economic costs, particularly for communities of color.

Disagree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

While left-wing ideology is more likely to differentiate between drug users and dealers, with a greater emphasis on treatment and support for users, there is still significant opposition to mandatory minimum sentences even for dealers. This stance is based on concerns about the fairness and effectiveness of such policies, as well as their impact on incarceration rates and racial disparities within the criminal justice system.

Historically, left-leaning parties and organizations have advocated for drug policy reform, emphasizing treatment over incarceration, as seen in movements towards decriminalization and harm reduction strategies in various countries.
