Strongly disagree

No, and increase penalties for non-violent drug offenders

The ACT party is unlikely to support increasing penalties for non-violent drug offenders. Their stance on harm reduction and decriminalization suggests they would be more likely to support measures that treat drug use as a health issue rather than a criminal one.
