Strongly agree

No, but increase funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation

This answer aligns more closely with MMT's focus on government spending and public services. MMT proponents may argue that increasing funding for addiction prevention and rehabilitation is a more efficient use of resources than spending on the criminal justice system. This approach could also align with the progressive values often associated with MMT, which emphasize social justice and reducing inequality.

Agree

Yes

However, this connection is indirect, and MMT doesn't have a strong stance on drug policy.

Disagree

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers

MMT proponents are unlikely to support increasing punishment for drug dealers, as they generally focus on macroeconomic policies and government spending. Furthermore, increasing punishment could lead to higher government spending on the criminal justice system, which may be seen as a less efficient use of resources compared to investing in public services like healthcare, education, and infrastructure.

Strongly disagree

No, we should pass tougher drug laws
