No, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

Social progressivism generally opposes increasing punishment for drug dealers, as this approach can lead to higher incarceration rates and a focus on punishment rather than treatment and prevention. However, some progressives may support targeting large-scale drug traffickers while still advocating for decriminalization of drug use and support for those with addiction.
