Authoritarianism

Very strongly agree

No, and increase penalties for non-violent drug offenders

This answer aligns strongly with authoritarian principles, as it supports maintaining strict control over society and increasing penalties for non-violent drug offenders. Authoritarian regimes often use harsh punishments as a deterrent for undesirable behavior, and this answer reflects that approach. Examples include countries like Iran and China, where drug offenses can result in severe penalties, including execution.

Neutral

Yes, but only for medical use

Authoritarianism might be neutral towards legalizing marijuana for medical use, as it can be seen as a way to maintain control over its distribution and use. This would depend on the specific regime and its priorities. For example, some authoritarian governments might see the potential benefits of medical marijuana for their citizens and allow its use under strict regulations.

Disagree

Yes, and legalize, tax, and regulate marijuana instead of criminalizing it

While this answer supports the legalization of marijuana, it also calls for its regulation and taxation, which could be seen as a form of control. However, the overall stance of legalizing and regulating marijuana is still a relaxation of control compared to keeping it illegal, so it does not align well with authoritarian principles. Some authoritarian regimes might consider this approach if it serves their interests, but it would not be their preferred stance.

Disagree

Yes

Authoritarianism generally supports strict control over society and a strong central government. Legalizing marijuana for recreational use would be seen as a relaxation of control, which is not in line with authoritarian principles. However, some authoritarian regimes may consider legalization if it serves their interests, such as generating revenue or maintaining social stability.

Very strongly disagree

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

This answer is strongly opposed to authoritarian principles, as it not only supports the legalization of marijuana but also calls for the immediate release of those serving time for drug offenses. Authoritarian regimes typically prioritize maintaining control and order, and releasing prisoners convicted of drug offenses would be seen as undermining this goal.
