"Yes, they should be removed from society" By this I mean that drug addicts should be allowed to OD and die, and drug dealers should be shot if found guilty. Drugs are bad, kids.

It depends entirely on the drug used and its effects on the mind and potential to turn the user into a violent drug offender. Mandatory rehabilitation programs should also be considered.

 @9VJX322from British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

No, offenders should have mandatory educational classes on drug use and attend an autopsy of a person who died of drug use.

 @9RJ6K3Vfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, but on a case by case basis dependent upon specifics like amounts and type of substances being dispensed or consumed.

 @9RBYBX6from Nova Scotia  answered…5mos5MO

Since we have legalized drug use, such as; Tobacco, Marijuana and Alcohol, I believe fines for distribution and trafficking would make more sense. For non-controlled illegal substances, such as; Cocaine, Heroin, Meth, etc., I believe sentences should be mandatory.

 @9D4YF47from Nova Scotia  answered…1yr1Y

No, we should decriminalize all drugs and release all prisoners serving time on drug offences.

 @9GRZW9Kfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Most drugs should be decriminalized, but adequate rehabilitation should be provided instead of incarceration.

 @9FGK6TCfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

I believe they should be given the help and support needed. Giving jail time would only make their mental health worse.
