Decriminalise all drug possession for personal use & fund support

We urge the government to decriminalise all drug possession for personal use and shift resources to health-based solutions. We believe criminalisation has failed and it’s time for a new approach. We want the Government to fund addiction treatment, mental health support, and education.

We believe criminalising drug use wastes billions, fuels mass incarceration, and worsens public health. We think countries like Portugal have shown that treating addiction as a health issue, not a crime, can reduce overdoses, disease, and drug-related crime. We believe punishment fails to address the root causes, and a health-first approach can save money, improve safety, and restore dignity. We believe decriminalisation is a humane, cost-effective path forward.
