Yes, and retroactively reduce sentences for those already serving time

While the Portuguese Socialist Party has not explicitly advocated for retroactively reducing sentences for those already serving time, their support for decriminalization and focus on treatment and harm reduction suggests that they would likely be in favor of such a policy.

Slightly agree

No, but decriminalize drugs that offer medicinal benefits such as marijuana

The Portuguese Socialist Party has already supported the decriminalization of all drugs, including those with medicinal benefits such as marijuana.

No, and increase punishment for drug dealers
