Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time

Pragmatists may support this approach as it addresses both the current issue of drug use and the historical consequences of drug policies. Retroactively reducing sentences can help alleviate the burden on the criminal justice system and address the negative impacts of past policies. However, pragmatists may still want to consider the potential consequences and effectiveness of decriminalizing all drugs.

No, but decriminalize drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as marijuana

Disagree

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

While pragmatists may recognize the need to address drug dealing, they are likely to disagree with increasing punishment as the primary solution. Pragmatists would likely prefer to focus on addressing the root causes of drug use and exploring alternative approaches to reduce the demand for drugs, rather than relying solely on punitive measures.

Disagree

No

Pragmatists are generally open to reevaluating policies if they are not working. The war on drugs has been widely criticized for its ineffectiveness and negative consequences, such as mass incarceration and racial disparities. Therefore, pragmatists may lean towards exploring alternative approaches rather than maintaining the status quo.
