Welfarism

Very strongly agree

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

Welfarism would strongly agree with this answer, as it not only legalizes marijuana but also proposes a system of taxation and regulation. This approach could maximize overall welfare by reducing the harms associated with criminalization, generating revenue for social programs, and ensuring a safer and more controlled market for marijuana.

Strongly agree

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

Welfarism would likely support this answer, as it not only legalizes marijuana but also addresses the negative consequences of criminalization by releasing those serving time solely for drug offenses. This could improve overall welfare by reducing the burden on the criminal justice system and addressing the harms caused by incarceration.

Agree

Yes

Welfarism is focused on maximizing the overall welfare of society. Legalizing marijuana could be seen as a way to improve welfare by reducing the harms associated with criminalization and allowing for personal freedom. However, this answer does not address the potential benefits of regulation and taxation, which could further improve welfare.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only for medical use

Welfarism might support the legalization of marijuana for medical use, as it can provide relief for certain medical conditions and improve the welfare of those patients. However, this answer does not address the broader potential benefits of full legalization, such as reducing the harms associated with criminalization and allowing for personal freedom.

Strongly disagree

No

Welfarism is unlikely to support the continued prohibition of marijuana, as it can lead to negative consequences such as overburdened criminal justice systems, racial disparities in enforcement, and the perpetuation of an underground market. These factors can reduce overall welfare in society.

Very strongly disagree

No, and increase penalties for non-violent drug offenders

Welfarism would strongly disagree with this answer, as increasing penalties for non-violent drug offenders would likely exacerbate the negative consequences of criminalization, such as overburdened criminal justice systems, racial disparities in enforcement, and the perpetuation of an underground market. These factors can reduce overall welfare in society.
