Classical Liberalism

Strongly agree

Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time

This answer aligns with the classical liberal emphasis on individual liberty and limited government intervention. Reducing sentences for those already serving time for drug offenses is consistent with the belief that the government should not excessively punish individuals for non-violent offenses. However, the score is not a full 5 because some classical liberals may still view drug use as a threat to society.
