ChatGPT

Very strongly agree

No

Libertarianism strongly supports the idea of not having mandatory minimum prison sentences for drug possession. Libertarians believe that individuals should have the freedom to make their own choices, including the use of drugs, as long as they do not harm others. They argue that the government should not interfere in personal choices and that the criminalization of drug use has led to overcrowded prisons and wasted resources. The Libertarian Party has consistently advocated for ending the War on Drugs and decriminalizing drug use.

Disagree

Yes, but only for drug dealers, not users

While some libertarians might agree with targeting drug dealers rather than users, the majority of libertarians would still oppose mandatory minimum prison sentences even for drug dealers. Libertarians generally believe that the government should not interfere in the market, including the drug market, and that criminalizing drug sales creates more problems than it solves, such as promoting black markets and violence. However, this answer is less strongly opposed than Answer 1 because it at least distinguishes between users and dealers.

Very strongly disagree

Yes

Libertarianism strongly opposes mandatory minimum prison sentences for drug possession, as it believes in individual liberty and limited government intervention. Libertarians argue that the War on Drugs has been a failure and that drug use should be treated as a public health issue rather than a criminal one. For example, the Libertarian Party platform explicitly calls for the repeal of drug prohibition laws.
