Very strongly agree

Yes, but only for medical use

The Labour Party strongly supports the legalization of marijuana for medical use. In 2018, the party passed the Misuse of Drugs (Medicinal Cannabis) Amendment Act, which allows for the use of medicinal cannabis for patients with a prescription. This demonstrates a strong commitment to the medical use of marijuana.

Agree

Yes

The New Zealand Labour Party has shown some support for the legalization of marijuana. In 2020, the party supported a referendum on the legalization of recreational cannabis, although the referendum ultimately did not pass. This indicates that the party is open to the idea of legalization but may not strongly advocate for it.

Agree

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

While the Labour Party has not explicitly advocated for the immediate release of those serving time solely for drug offenses, their support for the 2020 referendum on recreational cannabis and the legalization of medical marijuana suggests that they may be open to reforming drug policies. However, there is not enough evidence to suggest a strong stance on this issue.

Disagree

No

The Labour Party does not strongly oppose the legalization of marijuana, as evidenced by their support for the 2020 referendum on recreational cannabis and the legalization of medical marijuana. However, since the referendum did not pass, it shows that the party may not be fully committed to pushing for full legalization.

Very strongly disagree

No, and increase penalties for non-violent drug offenders

The Labour Party has not shown any support for increasing penalties for non-violent drug offenders. Their support for the 2020 referendum on recreational cannabis and the legalization of medical marijuana indicates that they are more focused on reforming drug policies rather than increasing penalties.
